Babięty ( German  Babanten ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and is located in the Gmina Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Babięty is located on the west bank of the Little Babant Lake ( Polish Jezioro Babięty Małe ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 21 kilometers northeast of the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ).

history

The place, named Babandin after 1785, was founded under Elector Georg Wilhelm in 1624. It consisted of several small farms. Georg Christoph Küchmeister was named among the five owners in 1717 . In 1874 Babanten was incorporated into the newly established Przytullen District ( Przytuły in Polish ), which - renamed "Steinhöhe District" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

72 inhabitants were registered in Babanten in 1910, in 1933 their number was 92 and in 1939 it was 74.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Babanten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Babanten, 51 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, Babanten was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of the name “Babięty”. Today the place is integrated into the village Jeleniowo (Jellinowen , 1938 to 1945 Gellen (Ostpr.)) ("Przysiółek wsi Jeleniowo") - within the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
