history

German harvesters who had established the Dutch villages of Synogać, Deutsch-Gotzke, Przedworszyzna and Gałczyczki had settled in the forest of the landowner Karski. The place was officially founded by German colonists in 1784.

The place had different place names in the past. Today it belongs to the rural community of Wierzbinek. This is located near Sompolno in the Powiat Koniński of the Greater Poland Voivodeship in Poland. Originally the place or the colony was called Deutsch Gotsche or Deutsch Goczki. In the literature one also finds the name Klemmer Holland for it. On the Gilly map 1802-1803 for South Prussia, the place is shown as Königlich Gotzki. Later he was named Goczki Niemieckie.

The place should not be confused with the neighboring Polish Goczki (referred to as Adlich Goczki on the Gilly map). Today it is called Goczki Polskie. The place name was renamed after the first German colonist by the inhabitants of German descent: The settler family was called Grün, in Polish Zielon, from which the name Zielonka came about.
