history

For Zielony Grond - called Zelonni Grondt after 1785 and Zielonigrond after 1871 - the founding privilege was issued on September 17, 1739. From 1874 to 1945 the village was incorporated into the district of Wilhelmsthal ( Polish : Pużary ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . Zielonygrund had 265 inhabitants in 1910.

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 Zielonygrund, 168 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received 9 votes.

On June 20, 1933, it was decided in Zielonygrund to rename the village "Schützengrund" - probably for political and ideological reasons to ward off foreign-sounding place names. The population in the same year was 227 and in 1939 it was 218.

In 1945 Protect reason, in consequence of the war throughout the southern East Prussia to Poland handed over and received the Polish form of the name "Orzeszki". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Rozogi (Friedrichshof) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Ostrołęka Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Orzeszki had 268 inhabitants.
