Radzie [ ˈrad͡ʑe ] ( German  Radzien , 1938 to 1945 Königsfließ ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community of Wydminy (Widminnen) in the Giżycki powiat ( Lötzen district ).

Geographical location

Radzie is located in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 23 kilometers southeast of the district town of Giżycko (Lötzen) .

history

On August 15, 1485, Commander Hans von Tieffen prescribed ten hooves for the creation of a service item . The day was considered to be the founding date of the village, called Radszien after 1785 and Radzien until 1938 , whose optical and economic landmark was a windmill until 1945 . Between 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the [[Official District (Prussia) <Official District]] Klein Gablick ( Polish: Gawliki Małe ), which - renamed in 1938 to "Official District Balzhöfen" - to the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . During the same period, the village was assigned to the registry office Widminnen (Wydminy in Polish).

In 1910 the number of residents of Radzien was 254. By 1933 it had risen to 386.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Radzien belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Radzien, 160 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, Radzien was renamed to "Königsfließ" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names. In 1939 the population was 396.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Radzie”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Wydminy (Widminnen) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
