Geographical location

Zajdy is located on the east bank of the Sayder See (1938 to 1945 Saider See , Polish Jezioro Zajdy ) in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , nine kilometers southwest of the district town of Olecko .

history

Which at the time Soldtmann before 1785 Zaiden and until 1938 Sayden called village was founded 1557th Between 1874 and 1945 it was incorporated into the Gonsken district ( Gąski in Polish ), which - renamed the Herzogskirchen district in 1938 - belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district ) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Sayden had 513 residents. Their number decreased to 477 by 1933 and was still 405 in 1939.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sayden belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Sayden, 343 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 the spelling of the name “Sayden” was changed to “Saiden”.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945, along with all of southern East Prussia , and since then has borne the Polish form of name "Zajdy". There is now a name connection with the small village Zajdy, only three kilometers to the northeast and already in the area of ​​the municipality of Świętajno (Schwentainen) . However, there is no evidence of a historical connection between the two places before 1945, so there is also the assumption that the neighboring town was only founded after 1945.

Zajdy, located in the municipality of Olecko , is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a district of the urban and rural municipality of Olecko in the Powiat Olecki , which before 1998 belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945 Saiden was parish in the parish of the Evangelical Church of Gonsken in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish of the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross in Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Zajdy belongs to the Protestant parish Ełk ( German  Lyck ), a branch of the parish in Pisz (German Johannisburg ) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and to the Catholic parish church Gąski in the Ełk diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

Zajdy can be reached via a side road that branches off the Polish state road DK 65 (former German Reichsstraße 132 ) at Ślepie (Schlepien , 1938 to 1945 Schlöppen) and leads directly into the village.
