Geographical location

Cicha Wólka is located in the northeast of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship not far from the Borkener Forest (also: Borker Heide, Polish Puszcza Borecka ), 16 kilometers northwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928-1945 Treuburg) .

history

The place then called Grapendorf was founded in 1789. Called Grappendorf around 1871 , the village was a large Vorwerk for Gut Czychen from its foundation , which had belonged to the newly formed rural community of Czychen (1938–1945 Bolken, in Polish: Cichy ) since September 30, 1928 . This was in the Oletzko district - called "Treuburg District" from 1933 to 1945 - in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the war, the village, renamed Kleinbolken in 1938, came to Poland with all of southern East Prussia and since then has been known as Cicha Wólka in Polish . The village is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) within the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs to.

Religions

Grappendorf was parish until 1945 in the parish of the Evangelical Church in Czychen (1938-1945 Bolken, Polish Cichy ) in the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . Since 1945, Protestant church members living here have belonged to the Church in Gołdap (Goldap) , a branch church of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

On the Catholic side , the residents of Grappendorf and Kleinbolken were oriented towards Marggrabowa (1928–1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko ) in the Diocese of Warmia before 1945 . Since 1945 they have belonged to the newly established parish in Cichy , whose once Protestant church is now a Catholic parish church. It belongs to one of the two deaneries in Olecko in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
