history

Seedanzig after 1785 Seedantzig and after 1820 Sedantzig called, was until 1945 a village with a forester and was founded in the 1579th On November 14th of that year, Jonas von Dobenck , Captain von Ortelsburg ( Szczytno in Polish ), prescribed three Schulzenhufen to Johann Pollack to fill them with farmers.

The Tatar invasion of 1656 was a catastrophe for the place: the entire village was cremated. The economic consequences were felt for decades afterwards. So in 1787 the financial situation of the Seedanziger farmers was called "mediocre".

In 1874 Seedanzig was in the newly built office district Corp Ellen incorporated (1928 to 1945 "Korpellen"), which existed until 1945 and for district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Seedanzig belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Seedanzig, 200 inhabitants voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland . Seedanzig was also affected by this. The village received the Polish form of name "Sędańsk" and is now the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ). It forms a village in the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
