history

The village called Frölingswalde before 1785 was founded in 1711 as a Schatulldorf . In the founding deed issued on November 10th of that year, the Oberwart Jakob Wilden was prescribed land to be roughed for the purpose of creating a village. The economic conditions of the villagers were described as "extremely poor" in 1781, the regulatory measures in the Omulef area in the middle of the 19th century brought a slight improvement. These measures did not come to an end until 1933/34 - but then led to economic success.

In 1874 the village, consisting of several medium-sized and small farms, was incorporated into the newly established district of Kannwiesen ( Chwalibogi in Polish , no longer existing) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

In 1910 there were 70 residents registered in Fröhlichswalde. Their number rose to 78 by 1933 and was still 69 in 1939.

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 Fröhlichswalde, 48 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

When all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Fröhlichswalde was also affected. The village was given the Polish form of name "Wesołówko" and is now a place in the network of the city and rural community Wielbark (Willenberg) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Wesołówko had 100 inhabitants.

Until 1945 Fröhlichswalde was ecclesiastically aligned with the city of Willenberg : with the Protestant church there in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and with the Roman Catholic parish church there in the then diocese of Warmia .
