history

Waszulki village

The village of Waschilki (only after 1574 Waschulken ) was founded in 1359. The rural community of Waschulken was from 1874 to 1945 part of the district of Bartoschken (Polish : Bartoszki ), which - renamed in 1938 to "District of Bartzdorf (Ostpr.)" - belonged to the East Prussian district of Neidenburg . In 1910, Waschulken had 437 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 451.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Waschulken was renamed "Waiselhöhe" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The number of inhabitants in 1939 was 414.

As a result of the war, Waiselhöhe was transferred to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia . The village was given the Polish name "Waszulki" and is today with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of Gmina Nidzica (urban and rural municipality Neidenburg ) in the powiat Nidzicki ( Neidenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia and Mazury belong.

Kolonia Waszulki

The Kolonia Waszulki is not far from the village Waszulki and includes only a few houses. Voivodship road 545 runs through the village , from which side roads to Radomin and Wietrzychowo (Adlig Dietrichsdorf) branch off. There is no evidence of the history, including whether the small town had a German form of name before 1945. It is also possible that the Kolonia Waszulki was only formed after 1945.

church

Up until 1945, Waschulken / Waiselhöhe was incorporated into the Protestant parish church of Neidenburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union , and also into the Roman Catholic parish church of Neidenburg in what was then the diocese of Warmia . Today Waszulki and Kolonia Waszulki belong on the Protestant side to the Neilig Cross Church Nidzica in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland and to the Roman Catholic Church of the Conception of Mary and St. Adalbert Nidzica in the current Archdiocese of Ermland .
