Geographical location

Barany is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , twelve kilometers northwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928–1945 Treuburg ).

history

The small village called Barann before 1785 , then Barannen until 1938 , was founded in 1562. Between 1874 and 1945 it was incorporated into the Czychen ( Polish Cichy ) district, which - renamed "Bolken District" in 1938 - belonged to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Barannen had a total of 172 inhabitants in 1910. Their number decreased to 147 by 1933.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Barannen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Barannen, 128 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, Barannen was renamed “Barnen” for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 139 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village was assigned to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of name Barany . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a locality within the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in Powiat Olecki , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Barannen was parish in the Protestant parish Czychen in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish Marggrabowa (1928–1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Barany is oriented towards the Evangelical Church in Gołdap (Goldap) , a branch church of the parish in Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , or belongs to the Catholic parish church Cichy (Czychen , 1938–1945 Bolken) in the Diocese of Ełk (Elk) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
