history

According to tradition, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen in the later Zelonnen , after 1785 Zelonken , "his loyal Preiwis" land. Grand Master Paul von Rußdorf confirmed this privilege in 1427.

1874 came Zielonken to the recently completed District Schöndamerau ( Polish Trelkowo ), which existed until 1945 and for district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Zielonken had a total of 206 inhabitants on December 1, 1910. In 1912 the village was renamed "Seelonken". In 1933 the population of sea lions was 302.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Seelonken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Seelonken, 186 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign appearing place names, Seelonken was renamed "Ulrichssee" on June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938 and probably going back to the grandmaster name Ulrich von Jungingen . The population was 247 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Zielonka”. Today it is with the seat of a Schulzenamtes (Polish Sołectwo ) a village in the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship assigned.
