Dudki ( German  Duttken , 1938–1945 Sargensee ) is a village in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , 1933–1945 Treuburg district ).

Geographical location

Dudki is located on the west bank of the Duttken Lake (1938-1945 Sargen Lake , Polish Jezioro Dudeckie ) a few hundred meters east of the Duttken Mountain (Polish Dudecka Góra) in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . The district town of Marggrabowa (colloquially also Oletzko, 1928–1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) is eleven kilometers away in a northeastern direction.

history

The small village called Dudken at the time was founded in 1562 and was called Dudki until 1785 , then Dutcken and until 1938 Duttken . In 1874 it was incorporated into the Orzechowken District ( Polish Orzechówko ) and before 1908 - after the Orzechowken District was dissolved - it was reclassified to the Schwentainen District (Świętajno in Polish). In both cases the village belonged to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 318 inhabitants in Dudki. Their number decreased to 303 by 1933 and was still 283 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Duttken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Duttken, 228 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons of defense foreign-sounding place names was Duttken June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) of the year 1938 in Sargensee renamed.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Dudki . Today, the village seat of a Schulz Office (Polish sołectwo) and thus a village in the network of rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in Powiat Olecki (county Oletzko , from 1933 to 1945 county Treuburg) until 1998, the Suwalki province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong .

Religions

Until 1945 Duttken was parish in the Evangelical Church of Schwentainen in the Church Province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Today this same church as the Catholic parish church Świętajno is the closest church and is part of the diocese Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

Dudki can be reached from the Polish state road DK 65 (formerly German Reichsstrasse 132 ) both from Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928–1945 Treuburg) and from Gąski (Gonsken , 1938–1945 Herzogskirchen) .

From 1911 to 1945 the village was a train station on the Marggrabowa – Schwentainen railway line ( Polish Olecko – Świętajno ). It was used by the Treuburger Kleinbahnen and then abandoned due to the war.
