Geographical location

history

The small village, called Dannowa around 1579 and Dannowen until 1938 , was founded in 1479 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a free estate with 20 hooves under Magdeburg law . From 1874 to 1945 it was incorporated into the Belzonzen district ( renamed Großdorf district in 1938 ), which belonged to the Johannisburg district .

In 1910 Dannowen had 233 residents; in 1933 there were 227.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Dannowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Dannowen, 140 people voted to stay with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938 (officially confirmed on July 16), Dannowen was renamed Siegenau for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign place names . The population was 195 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Dannowen or Siegenau was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of the name Danowo . The village is now the seat of a Schulzenamt and thus a place in the network of the city and rural community Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938–1945 Gehlenburg) in Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . The number of residents of Danovo in 2011 was 67.
