Górkło ( German  cucumber ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the urban and rural community Mikołajki ( German  Nikolaiken ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Górkło is located on the south bank of the Gurkler See ( Polish Jezioro Górkło ) in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 27 kilometers east of the district town of Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

history

The village, called Gurcklen after 1785 and Gurkel until 1945 , was founded before 1477. In 1785 it is called the " Köllmisches Dorf" with 38 fire places. Between 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the administrative district of Schimonken ( Polish: Szymonka ), which - renamed in 1938 to the "administrative district of Schmidtsdorf" - belonged to the district of Sensburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (from 1905: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gurkel belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gurkel, 160 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not.

In 1945, as a result of the war, Gurkel was transferred to Poland along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Górkło”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
