history

Local history

The first written mention of Waldpusch can be found in the Willenberg official accounts from 1719/20, where it is mentioned as a Cologne village with seven hubs . At the end of the 16th century, however, there was already an ironworks at this point, the Hammer Waldpusch . The village grew only slowly, as the moist soil provided hardly any income due to the frequent flooding of Omulef . Around 1785, 11 fire places and an outbuilding with another fireplace were described in the Cologne village . In 1794 the Lattanabruch was divided up and made arable. In the course of this, the royal administrative district received 10 hooves as pasture for cattle, and the village and the villages also received additional land. Around the same time frame, the residents of Waldpusch were required to plant one acre of hops each in the inheritance documents . However, this did not thrive, so that in 1799 "there was no trace of it left". At the beginning of the 1870s, Waldpusch was the 4th order measuring point as part of the state triangulation . The coordinates 53 ° 25 '48 "246 N and 38 ° 39' 56" 575 O were determined at a height of 131.933 meters above normal fairway.

In 1874, the rural community of Waldpusch was incorporated into the newly established district of Groß Lattana (Polish: Łatana Wielka ), which - renamed "District of Großheidenau" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

In 1910 Waldpusch had 216 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , on the Waldpusch, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Waldpusch, 162 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

In 1933 there were 224 inhabitants registered in the rural community of Waldpusch. From 1934 the area was drained, first the Omulef, then the Waldpusch . Yields increased, and in 1939 there were 30 farms in the village with its 221 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, Waldpusch came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Wałpusz”. Today the village is part of the municipal and rural community Wielbark (Willenberg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Waldpusch is mentioned in Walter Kempowski's book " Echolot ".

Place name

The original place name until 1945 was rooted in the Old Prussian language and is based on Lake Wałpusz or the Wałpusza river , which flows from it and flows directly alongside the place. It can be interpreted as “young, fresh”. In German , a “d” was inserted through a reinterpretation to “forest”.

The current Polish place name was created after 1945 and the short form goes back to Stanislaw .

church

Before 1945, Waldpusch was ecclesiastically oriented towards Willenberg : to the Protestant church there , which belonged to the Church of the Old Prussian Union in the church province of East Prussia , and to the Willenberger St. Johannes Nepomuk parish church in the Roman Catholic diocese of Warmia .

The connection to the Catholic Church in today's Wielbark still exists, but the parish is now integrated into the Archdiocese of Warmia . The Protestant residents of Wielbark now belong to the Protestant parish of Szczytno in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

Before 1945 there was a one-class elementary school in Waldpusch.
