Dorsze ( German  Dorschen ) is a village in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938–1945 Reimannswalde) in the Olecko district (Oletzko , 1933–1945 Treuburg) .

Geographical location

Dorsze is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the southeast slope of the Seesker Höhe (Polish: Wzgórza Szeskie), southeast of the former district town of Gołdap (Goldap) and northwest of the current district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928–1945 Treuburg) .

history

The place called Dorsch before 1581 was founded before 1564 and consisted of a large estate at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1874 the village was incorporated into the then newly established administrative district Gurnen (Polish: Górne), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 the Dorschen manor had 174 inhabitants. Dorschen gave up its independence on September 30, 1928 and was incorporated into the rural community of Hegelingen (until 1906 Pogorzellen, Polish Pogorzel).

As a result of the war, Dorschen was assigned to southern East Prussia in Poland in 1945 and has been called Dorsze since then . With the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish: Sołectwo) responsible for Dorsze and Piastowo , the village is now part of the rural community of Kowale Oleckie and thus exchanged the district of Goldap with the Powiat Olecki . Belonging to the Suwałki Voivodeship until 1998 , the place is now part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
