Geographical location

Dzięgiele Oleckie is located in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 13 kilometers south of the district town of Olecko in the south of the Powiat Olecki.

history

In 1527 the village called Dzengeln at the time was founded. It developed into a place consisting of several small courtyards and homesteads. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established Babken District (Polish: Babki Gąseckie), which - renamed Babeck District in 1939 - belonged to Oletzko District until 1933 , then to Treuburg District in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia until 1945 .

The number of inhabitants of Dzingellen was 71 in 1910. It rose to 108 by 1933 and was 93 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Dzingellen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Dzingellen, 62 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons in order to avoid foreign-sounding place names, Dzingellen was renamed Dingeln on June 3, 1938 (officially confirmed on July 16, 1938) . As a result of the war, the village came to Poland with southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of the name Dzięgiele Oleckie .

Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt (sołectwo) and a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Olecko in Powiat Olecki in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . Until 1998 the village belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship .

Religions

The population of Dzingellen was predominantly of the Protestant denomination until 1945. The village was parish in the parish of the church Gonsken (from 1938 Herzogskirchen, Polish Gąski) in the parish of Oletzko (Treuburg) within the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholic church members were oriented towards the parish church in Marggrabowa (from 1928 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

The majority of the residents of Dzięgiele Oleckies are now Catholic and parish to the church in Gąski . She belongs to the Dean's Office Olecko in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The small number of Protestant church members now belongs to the parish in Ełk , which is a subsidiary parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) within the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Dzięgiele Oleckie is a little off the beaten track on a side road that connects Gąski (Gonsken) on the Polish state road DK 65 (former German Reichsstraße 132 ) with Wólka Kijewska (Kiöwenhorst) and Kijewo (Kiöwen) . Kijewo was the nearest train station until 1999; it was on the Ełk – Tschernjachowsk railway , which is no longer in operation for passenger traffic.
