Anieliny is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sadki, within Nakło County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5km (03miles) south-east of Sadki, 70NaN0 west of Nakło nad Notecią, and 340NaN0 west of Bydgoszcz.

History

The area formed part of Poland since the establishment of the state in the 10th century. The village was annexed by Prussia in the late-18th-century Partitions of Poland, and was also part of Germany from 1871. Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Poles from Anieliny were among the victims of massacres of Poles from the county, perpetrated by the SS and Selbstschutz in the forest near Sadki in October and November 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[2]
