history

Place name

The German translation of the Polish place name is "Kaltes Wasser".

Local history

The place called after 1820 Zymnowoda was founded before 1811 and consisted of a few small farms. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established Salleschen district ( Zalesie in Polish ), which - renamed " Rheinswein district " ( Rańsk in Polish ) in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Ortelsburg district in East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 51 residents registered in Zimnawodda. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Zimnawoddda belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Zimnawodda, 38 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On February 27, 1933, Zimnawodda was renamed "Hirschthal" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population in the same year was 48, and by 1939 it had dropped to 40.

1945 Zimnawodda resp. Hirschthal in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland handed over and received the Polish form of the name "Zimna Woda". Today the small place "część wsi Jeleniowo" ("part of the village Jeleniowo") within the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs.

church

Until 1945 Zimnawodda (Hirschthal) was parish in the Protestant Church of Rheinswein in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of Mensguth in the diocese of Ermland at that time .

Today the Catholics in Zimna Woda orientate themselves towards the parish churches in Targowo (Theerwisch) and Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the present Archdiocese of Warmia . On the evangelical side, the church in Rańsk is still responsible, which is now a branch church of the parish in Szczytno in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
