history

The village called Woznitzen in 1818 and Wosnitzen until 1938 was founded in 1548. On April 8, 1874, it became the official seat and thus gave its name to an administrative district , which - renamed "District Julienhöfen" on November 15, 1938 - existed until 1945 and to the district of Sensburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (from 1905: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province East Prussia belonged. On October 1, 1874, Wosnitzen also became the seat of a registry office .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wosnitzen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Wosnitzen, 460 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, the municipality of Wosnitzen expanded to include Julienthal ( Lelek in Polish ) and Klein Grabnick ( Grabnik Mały ), which were incorporated into the Wosnitzen station, Karlshorst ( Pszczółki ) and Kettnershof. For political and ideological reasons of defense foreign-sounding place names Wosnitzen was on June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 in "July courtyards" renamed .

As a result of the war, southern East Prussia came to Poland in 1945 and with it the village of Wosnitzen and Julienhöfen, which received the Polish form of name “Woźnice”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
