Baranowo ( German  Baranowen , 1938 to 1945 Neufiess ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Wielbark (city and rural community Willenberg ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Baranowo is 1 kilometer north of the Orschütz river ( Orzyc in Polish ), which forms the border with the Masovian Voivodeship , which was the German-Polish border until 1945 . The district town of Szczytno ( Ortelsburg in German ) is 29 kilometers to the northeast.  

history

The founding date of the village, named Barranowen after 1871, is not known. In 1874 the village came into the newly established district of Groß Piwnitz , which - renamed "Amtsgebiet Großalbrechtsort" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1885 Baranowen had 383 inhabitants, in 1910 there were 355 and in 1933 it was 332.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Baranowen, 227 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, Baranowen was renamed "Neuflie" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 327 in 1939.

With all of southern East Prussia , Neuflie was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war. The village was given the Polish form of the name "Baranowo" and is today - with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) - a place in the network of the urban and rural community Wielbark (Willenberg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then belonging to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The number of inhabitants was 197 in 2011.

church

Until 1945 Baranowen resp. Neufluss ecclesiastically oriented towards Flammberg (until 1904 Opalenietz , in Polish Opaleniec ): to the Protestant church there in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and to the Roman Catholic St. Joseph Church in the former Diocese of Warmia . Today the Catholics in Baranowo belong again to the parish in the village now called Opaleniec, which is now in the Archdiocese of Warmia . Due to the lack of their previous church in Opaleniec, the Protestant residents now belong to the parish in Szczytno in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

The village school founded in the reign of Friedrich Wilhelm I received a new building in 1930.
