Geographical location

Szczycionek is located on the north bank of the Sczyczonnek Lake (1938 to 1945 forest lake , Polish Jezioro Szczycionek ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , four kilometers northwest of the district town of Szczytno ( German Ortelsburg ).

history

The place called Szezonek after 1871 and Sczyczonnek after 1905 originally consisted of a few small farms. It was a residential area of the municipality of Beutnerdorf ( Polish : Bartna Strona ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1905 it had 106 residents in eleven homes. Later the place was incorporated into the municipality Ortelsburg ( Szczytno ) until 1945 .

In 1945 the place, which had been renamed "Waldsee" since June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, came to Poland together with all of southern East Prussia as a result of the war and received the Polish name form "Szczycionek". Today the small village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and 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 . In 2011 Szczycionek had 216 inhabitants.
