Baranowo [ baraˈnɔvɔ ] ( German  Barranowo , also: Baranowo , 1938–1945 Hoverbeck ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Mikołajki ( town and country municipality Nikolaiken ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Baranowo is located in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, northwest of the Masurian Landscape Protection Park ( Polish Mazurski Park Krajobrazowy ). It is eleven kilometers to the northwest to the district town of Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

The writer Arno Surminski states that he considers the birch avenue between Nikolaiken and Barranowen to be the most beautiful country road in East Prussia .

history

The year of foundation of Barranowen (common name spelling also: Baranowen ) cannot be determined with certainty. The place was first mentioned in the 16th century. Until 1945 it was characterized by a large estate with a correspondingly large park.

Barranowen manor complex in 1850

Until 1928, the Barranowen manor was a separate communal administrative district from the rural community .

On April 8, 1874, Barranowen became the official seat and eponymous for an administrative district in the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905–1945 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . It existed until 1945. a .: Barranowen (village), Barranowen (Gut), Faszen (1938–1945 fasting , Polish : Faszcze ) and Zudnochen (1938–1945, Siebenhöfen , Polish : Cudnochy ), later also Vollmarstein (Polish: Nowe Nadawki ).

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Barranowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Barranowen, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons of defense foreign-sounding place names Barra Owen was on June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 in "Hoverbeck" renamed . In 1945 the village came to Poland with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Baranowo . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the network of the urban and rural municipality Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) in Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn (Allenstein) Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Incorporations

church

Church building

The Catholic, once Protestant church in Baranowo

A - then Protestant - church was built in Barranowen between 1904 and 1907 and was consecrated on Thanksgiving Day in 1907. It is an eclectic building with a tower and an attached choir . After 1945 the building became a Catholic property. After several structural changes, in 1984 it became a parish church consecrated to the "Mary Mother of the Church" ( Kościół Najświętszej Maryi Panny Matki Kościoła ) .

Parish

Evangelical

In 1902 a Protestant parish was founded in Barranowen. In the parish of the neighboring villages of the parishes were Mragowo and Mikolajki umgepfarrt. In 1925 the parish had a total of 2,700 members and until 1945 belonged to the parish of Sensburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . After 1945, the evangelical community in Baranowo had to flee and displaced the local population . Few Protestant church members who live here today now adhere to the church in Mikołajki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic

While only a few Catholics lived in the Barranowen region before 1945, their number rose sharply after the Second World War due to the resettlement of Polish citizens. Soon a congregation was constituted here that used the previously evangelical church as its church and inaugurated it as a parish church in 1984. A branch church was assigned in Zełwągi (Selbongen) . The parish is part of the Mikołajki deanery in the Ełk diocese of the Polish Catholic Church .

Gut Barranowen / Hoverbeck

manor

The Barranowen / Hoverbeck manor in Baranowo

In Baranowo there is still the old mansion of the Barranowen estate, which has since fallen into disrepair but has been externally restored. It was built in 1838 on the foundations of a previous building that had previously burned down. In the 1990s, the building was renovated so that it now has an outwardly appealing appearance.

Landowner

At the end of the 16th century, the Barranowen estate belonged to a Wilhelm Milowski . In a prescription document from the year 1613, a "... Mr. Foxes ... 50 hooves in Barranowen in the Rhineland  ..." were prescribed. In 1640 Johann von Hoverbeck received the 81 Hufen village of Barranowen from the Great Elector in recognition of his services.

In 1764 the widow von Hoverbeck sells the estate with all its accessories to Stephan K. von Bieberstein . The estate remained in this family until the foreclosure auction in 1830. Via the Rogalla von Bieberstein family , the estate came into the possession of the Barons von Ketelhodt by inheritance in 1900 , who managed it until 1945. There was cattle and sheep breeding, a distillery and a sawmill. The estate was 617 hectares. The last owner was Vredeber Frhr. from Ketelhodt . He was able to flee from East Prussia and found acceptance in Behringen in Thuringia .

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Barranowen has been a train station since 1911. Until 1945 it was assigned to the Sensburg – Lyck line , after 1945 the Czerwonka – Ełk line. The line is no longer used today, in 2017 it was brought back to life for two months, but then closed again. Today there is no rail connection for Baranowo and the Mrągowo region.

Baranowo is also connected to the neighboring towns of Faszcze (Faszen , fasting from 1938 to 1945 ) and Małoszewo (Wiesenau) via a side road .

Agricultural Research Institute

The former manor house, used after the Second World War as the administrative seat and residence of a state estate, has been a research institute for agricultural biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (“Polska Akademia Nauk” - PAN) since the 1980s . It is now planned to set up an ecological training center as a primary school with a grammar school.
