history

The village called Groß Plocitznen after 1785 and Plotzitznen until 1938 was founded in 1428.

In 1910 there were 276 inhabitants registered in Plotzitznen. Their number decreased to 263 by 1933 and amounted to 265 in 1939. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Plotzitznen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany ) or the connection to Poland. In Plotzitznen, 220 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On June 3, 1938, Plotzitznen was renamed “Bunhausen” for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. As a result of the war, Poland became part of all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and since then has been given the Polish name “Płociczno”. Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the association of Gmina Ełk in Powiat Ełcki , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
