Wilczany ( German Wolfsdorf, Rosenberg district in West Prussia ) is a small village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community of Iława in the powiat Iławski ( German Eylau ).
Geographical location
The village is located in historic West Prussia in the south of the Eylauer Seenplatte , 23 kilometers east of Rosenberg in West Prussia ( Susz ) and ten kilometers northeast of Deutsch Eylau ( Iława ).
history
The village, called Wolfsdorf until 1945 (around 1785 also: Wolfsdorff ), then consisted of only a few small farms. On May 9, 1874 Wolf village in the then newly formed District Tillwalde (Polish today: Tywałd) incorporated and belonged to the district of Rosenberg, West Prussia (until 1920 in marienwerder , 1920-1939 Region of West Prussia , from 1939 to 1945 Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia ) in the Prussian Province of West Prussia , from 1920 Province of East Prussia .
In 1910 there were 77 inhabitants in Wolfsdorf, in 1925 there were 79.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Marienwerder voting area , to which Wolfsdorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Wolfsdorf, 46 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
On April 1, 1934 Wolfsdorf lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Tillwalde .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . After the end of the war, Wolfsdorf became part of the People's Republic of Poland together with the whole of West Prussia and the southern half of East Prussia in the summer of 1945 under the name Wilczany in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . As far as the villagers had not fled, they were in the aftermath of Wolf Village sold .
The village is now part of the Iława rural community within the powiat Iławski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship ).
