Bałowo ( German  Bothau ) is a district of Zyndaki in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Sorkwity ( German  Sorquitten ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

history

The small village of Bothau , consisting of an estate and farmsteads, was “a noble estate with a water grinding mill and 18 fireplaces” in 1785. From 1874 to 1945 was Gutsbezirk Bothau in the District Wahpuhnen ( Polish Warpuny ) incorporated, which for Sensburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Bothau belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Bothau, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, Bothau gave up his independence and was incorporated together with the Vorwerk Samkowen (Polish : Zamkowo ) into the rural community of Sonntag (Polish: Zyndaki ).

When all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Bothau was now also affected. It was given the Polish form of the name "Bałowo" and is now a village ( Polish: część wsi ) included after Zyndaki (Sunday) within the rural municipality of Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia Voivodeship Masuria belonging.
