The former small village of Bergenthal is closely connected in its history with the - now part of Russia - and former city of Nordenburg ( Russian: Krylowo ), which is now part of the urban community of Schelesnodoroschnyim Pravdinsk Raion and is barely more than a kilometer away.

As a result of the war, the city of Nordenburg with northern East Prussia came to the Soviet Union in 1945 , while Bergenthal with southern East Prussia was assigned to Poland . Since then, the place has borne the Polish name form "Zielony Ostrów". Today it is a village within the urban and rural municipality of Węgorzewo in the powiat Węgorzewski , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
