history

Local history

Groß Przesdzienk was founded on July 20, 1685, when the future Schulze Martin Klask was given the task of “ creating a new village and filling it with people”. In 1787 the financial situation of the inhabitants was still poor. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that there was improvement.

On July 16, 1874 United Przesdzienk an office village and its name to a District in 1907 renamed "District Great Thanks Home" - - existed until 1945 and for the district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905 Government district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

On October 3, 1900, Groß Przesdzienk was renamed "Groß Dankheim". In the same year the village became a train station on the newly laid Nidzica – Wielbark railway line , which is no longer used regularly. In 1910 the rural community of Groß Dankheim with its residential areas Dombrowa (1938 to 1945 Neudankheim , in Polish: Dąbrowa ), Groß Dankheim train station, Karolinenhof forestry ( Rokitka in Polish ) and Klein Piwnitz (1938 to 1945 Kleinalbrechtsort ) had a total of 595 inhabitants. Their number rose to 618 by 1933 and was still 535 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Dankheim, 454 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received no votes.

Between 1932 and 1934, the Dankheimer Fließ ( Przeździęcka Struga in Polish ) was built with astonishing success for both the landscape and the economy. And this economic success was accompanied by lively construction activity. This benefited from the expansion of the roads from Groß Dankheim to Klein Dankheim ( Przeździęk Mały in Polish ) and above all from Willenberg to Karolinenhof ( Rokitka in Polish ).

As a result of the war, Groß Dankheim came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name "Przeździęk Wielki". With the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo in Polish ), the village is now part of the Gmina Wielbark (urban and rural community Willenberg ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
