Zieliec ( German  (large) Radzienen , 1938 to 1945 Hügelwalde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Wielbark (city and rural community Willenberg ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Zieliec is located in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 18 kilometers southeast of the district town of Szczytno ( Ortelsburg in German  ).

history

The oldest mention of the village took place in 1719, when a "Radziener Theerofen" was mentioned in the Willenberg official bill. In 1724 the tar furnace was mentioned under the name "Zielietz", and in 1763 information was found about a "Schatulldorf Radzienen alias Zielietz". When around 1800 three individual farmsteads of " Klein Radzienen " (today in Polish Targetsiec Mały ) were recorded, the place name "Groß Radzienen", which later only stood for a place to live within the rural community of Radzienen, was increasingly found.

Between 1874 and 1945, the Radzienen community was incorporated into the Fürstenwalde district (in Polish: Księży Lasek ), which belonged to the Ortelsburg district of East Prussia . In 1910 Radzienen had 641 inhabitants, and in 1933 there were 536.

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 Radzienen, 444 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received 6 votes.

On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, Radzienen was renamed to "Hügelwalde" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names, the name probably being chosen after the Mühlenberg located in the village boundary . A year later the village had 533 inhabitants.

The transfer of all of southern East Prussia to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war also affected (Groß) Radzienen alias Hügelwalde, which received the Polish form of the name “Zieliec”. Today the village with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) is a place in the network of the urban and rural community Wielbark (Willenberg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Zieliec had 141 inhabitants.

church

On the evangelical side , (large) Radzienen resp. Hügelwalde was incorporated into the Church of Fürstenwalde (Polish: Księży Lasek ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 . Today Zieliec belongs to the Protestant parish in Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poen .

Before 1945, the parish in Groß Leschienen ( Lesiny Wielkie in Polish ) in what was then the Diocese of Warmia was responsible for the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the village - and it is still today, but now belongs to the Archdiocese of Warmia .

school

The school in Radzienen / Hügelwalde was under the government of Friedrich Wilhelm III. founded. In 1939 she had two classes, in 1936/38 the sanitary facilities were rebuilt.

Zieliec is a little off the beaten track, but several side streets from towns in the neighboring region meet in town. There is no connection to rail traffic .
