history

Thiergarten , also often spelled " Tiergarten ", was a forestry until 1945 that belonged to the Sorquitten Forest ( Sorkwity in Polish ). The forester's house - with seven inhabitants in 1905 - was located in the Sorquitten estate in the Sensburg district in the Prussian province of East Prussia , which was transferred to the Sorquitten rural community on September 30, 1928 .

With all of southern East Prussia , Thiergarten came to Poland as a result of the war in 1945 and received the Polish form of the name "Zwierzyniec". Today it is a place ( Polish "część wsi" ) assigned to the neighboring village of Stary Gieląd (Alt Gehland) within the rural community of Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship associated.
