history

The present-day hamlet ( Przysiółek in Polish ), then called Wettin , was founded on June 21, 1822 as a Vorwerk. Until 1945 the place was a residential area within the municipality of Prassen ( Polish: Prosna ) in the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

With all of southern East Prussia , Wettin was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and was given the Polish form of the name “Wetyn”. Today the place is attached to the neighboring village Kałwągi (Kaltwangen) and thus a place within the urban and rural municipality of Korsze (Korschen) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
