Czerwonki [ t͡ʂɛrˈvɔnki ] ( German  Czerwanken , 1930–1945 Rotenfelde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Mrągowo ( rural community Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Czerwonki is located on the west bank of the Ixtsee ( Polish Jezioro Juksty ) in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , four kilometers southeast of the district town of Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

history

The village, called Zerwanken after 1785 and Czerwanken until 1930, was founded . in 1559 It originally consisted of a few small farms, later its importance increased with the establishment of a brick factory , which stood a kilometer north of the village. Between 1874 and 1945 the village was incorporated into the Muntowen District ( Muntowo in Polish ), which - renamed Muntau District in 1938 - belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

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 Czerwanken, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On July 28, 1930, Czerwanken was renamed Rotenfelde .

When all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Rotenfelde was also affected. It was given the Polish form of the name Czerwonki and is now a village in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn (Allenstein) Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
