Drozdówko ( German  Salzwedel ) is a place in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938–1945 Reimannswalde) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko / Treuburg district ).

Geographical location

The former Gutsdorf Salzwedel , founded in 1818, was incorporated into the newly established district of Bialla ( Biała Olecka in Polish ) in 1874. This - from 1903 to 1945 called the district of Billstein - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district ) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The Salzwedel manor district had a total of 56 inhabitants in 1910.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Salzwedel belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Salzwedel, 48 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, he gave up his independence and merged with the neighboring towns of Buttken ( Polish: Budki ) and Drosdowen (1934–1945 Drosten, Polish: Drozdowo ) to form the new rural community of Buttken.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name Drozdówko . Today the place is part of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in the Powiat Olecki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

The predominantly Protestant population of Salzwedel was parish until 1945 in the parish of the Mierunsken Church (1938–1945 Merunen, Polish Mieruniszki ) in the parish association Mierunsken / Sczeczinken (1916–1945 Eichhorn, Polish Szczecinki ) and was part of the church district of Oletzko / Trevuburg in the Eastern Prussian Church District of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today the few Protestant church members in Drozdówko belong to the Suwałki parish with a branch parish in Gołdap (Goldap) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

Until 1945 Catholic church members were oriented towards Marggrabowa (1928–1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko ), at that time in the Diocese of Warmia . Today they make up the majority in Drozdówko and belong to the newly established parish in Kowale Oleckie , belonging to one of the two deaneries based in Olecko , in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .

Drozdówko is located on a side street that branches off at Drozdowo (Drosdowen , 1934-1945 Drosten) from the Polish Voivodeship Road 652 (former German Reichsstraße 137 ) and leads to Kucze (Kutzen) . Until 1945 Drozdowo was the next train station and was on the Treuburg – Garbassen ( Olecko - Garbas Drugi ) line of the Treuburg Kleinbahnen , which is no longer in operation today .
