history

The small town of Bartken (after 1818 Barthken ) was founded between 1508 and 1511. Today's hamlet ( osada in Polish ) consisted of only two small farms before 1945. Between 1874 and 1945 Bartken was incorporated into the Babken District ( Babki Gąseckie in Polish ), which - renamed Babeck District in 1938 - belonged to Oletzko District (1933–1945 Treuburg District ) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 65 residents registered in Bartken. Their number decreased to 55 by 1933 and was 45 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Bartken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Bartken, 43 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since borne the Polish form of name Bartki . Today it is part of the rural community Wieliczki (Wielitzken) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , 1933–1945 Treuburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Bartken was parish in the Protestant parish of Gonsken (Herzogskirchen) in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish of Marggrabowa (Treuburg) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Bartki belongs to the nearest Protestant church in Ełk ( German  Lyck ), a branch church of the parish of Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , as well as to the parish church in Gąski in the Ełk diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
