Geographical location

history

Local history

Today's Silec was probably created in the 14th century by the Rastenburg procurator Heinrich von Plauen and was called Klein Heinrichsdorf . In 1437 an area of ​​54 hooves was counted to the village . Around 1785 it was called Schiltzen , after 1785 Adlig Schülzen B and from 1905 to 1945 Schülzen . In 1817 there were 23 buildings in the village.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Schülzen consisted of several parts of aristocratic estates and farming villages, which were identified by adding names (capital, noble) or letters (A, B, C). In 1874 this was reflected in the incorporation into the newly established district of Salzbach ( Solanka in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Rastenburg . Before 1905, the Louisenhof manor district ( Podlasie in Polish ) was incorporated into the rural community called "Adlig Schülzen B", on February 2, 1921, the Schülzen B manor district, and on October 10, 1925, the Schülzen A manor district, which was then designated without an addition incorporated. On September 30, 1928, the manor district Gut Schülzen (Polish : Silecki Folwark ) was finally incorporated into the rural community of Schülzen.

In 1945, at the end of World War II , the Red Army marched into the area. As a result of the war, Schülzen became part of the People's Republic of Poland as "Silec" . In 1970 there was a library point in the village. 1973 Silec became the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo ), to which the settlements Podlasie (Louisenhof) , Siemkowo (Terra) and Silecki Folwark (Gut Schülzen ) belonged. The village of Silec is now part of the rural community Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
