Geographical location

history

The founding festival for Wysockigrund (after 1820 Wysokigrond , after 1876 Wyssockigrund ) is dated February 3, 1686 and mentions Caspar Bieber and Casimir Sadlowski as settlers. In 1781 it was said about the economic conditions of the farmers: " Every landlord gains about 4–6 bulbs of hay , the hay needs have to be partly met in Poland" and the farmers "deal with agriculture and cattle breeding and sell linen to Poland".

In 1874 Wysockigrund was incorporated into the newly established district of Friedrichsfelde ( Polish : Chochół ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1881, it was reclassified to the neighboring district of Farienen (Polish: Faryny ).

On January 8, 1894, the rural communities of Kokosken (1938 to 1945 Kleinlindengrund , in Polish: Kokoszki ), Lipniak (near Farienen, 1938 to 1945 Lindenheim , in Polish : Lipniak ) and Wysockigrund merged to form the new rural community of Wysockigrund in the district of Farienen. In 1910 it had a total of 256 inhabitants. 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 Wysockigrund, 164 people voted to stay with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On December 9, 1932, Wysockigrund was renamed "Lindengrund" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 219 in 1933 and 206 in 1939.

Lindengrund was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name "Wysoki Grąd". Today it is a village within the rural community Rozogi (Friedrichshof) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Ostrołęka Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship belongs. In 2011 the small town had 33 inhabitants.
