history

The founding date of the small village, called Rydzöwen after 1785 and Rydzewen until 1938, is in 1526. In 1874 the place, forming an independent rural community , was incorporated into the administrative district of Soffen (in Polish: Krokocie ), but between 1898 and 1905 into the administrative district of Stradaunen ( Polish Straduny ) reclassified. Both were part of the circle elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 a total of 131 inhabitants were registered in Rydzewen. Their number decreased to 123 by 1933 and amounted to 118 in 1939. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rydzewen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany ) or the connection to Poland. In Rydzewen, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On August 1, 1938, Rydzewen was renamed "Schwarzberge" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Rydzewo". Today it is part of the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo ) Przytuły ( German Przytullen , 1927 to 1945 Sea Peace ) and has therefore been part of the Gmina Ełk (rural community Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), before 1998 in the Suwałki voivodeship , since then the Warmia and Mazury belong.
