Geographical location

Długochorzele is located on the west bank of the Langseer See (until 1897 Dlugochoreller See , in Polish Jezioro Długie Chorzelskie ) in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . The county seat is 17 kilometers to the north.

history

The former Dlugochorellen was an elongated village on the lake. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established Gorczitzen District ( Gorczyce in Polish ), which a few years later was renamed the Borken District ( Borki in Polish ). It belonged to 1945 the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 Government district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On May 8, 1897, the neighboring towns of Downaren and Dlugochorellen were combined to form the municipality of Langsee . Downaren lost its name and was completely absorbed in dlugochorelles.

In 1910 there were 232 residents registered in Langsee. Their number rose to 241 by 1933 and was only 190 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Langsee belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Langsee, 160 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, Langsee came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and, with reference to the earlier name, received the Polish form of name Długochorzele . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Prostki (Prostken) association in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945 Dlugochorellen was parish in the Protestant Church Ostrokollen (1938-1945 Scharfenrade , Polish Ostrykół ) in the Ecclesiastical Province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Adalbert in Lyck (Polish Ełk ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

It belongs to the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the parish in Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
