Geographical location

Gorczyce is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , eleven kilometers north of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

The small village, called Alt Gollubien before 1785 - then Gorzitzen (after 1871) and Gortzitzen (until 1909) - was founded in 1563. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established district of Schareyken ( Polish: Szarejki ), which - renamed "District Schareiken" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and became the district of Oletzko - from 1933 called "District of Treuburg" - in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged to. On July 24, 1909, Gortzitzen was renamed "Gartenberg". In 1910 the village had 59 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gartenberg belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Gartenberg, 36 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, Gartenberg lost its independence when it merged with parts of the manor district of Danialen (1938 to 1945: Kleinreimannswalde, Polish Daniele ) and the rural community of Monethen (1938 to 1945: Moneten, Polish Monety ) to form the new rural community of Monethen.

As a result of the war, Gartenberg, like all places in southern East Prussia, came to Poland in 1945 and has been called "Gorczyce" ever since. Today it is part of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in the Powiat Olecki , until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

The predominantly Protestant population of Gartenberg before 1945 was parish in the parish of the Church of Schareyken (1938 to 1945 Schareiken , Polish: Szarejki ), which belonged to the Oletzko / Treuburg church district in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The Catholic church members were oriented towards the parish in Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg, Polish Olecko ) in what was then the diocese of Warmia .

Today the predominantly Catholic residents of Gorczyce belong to the newly established parish in Szarejki , which the once Protestant church now serves as a parish church. It is part of one of the two Dekanate Oleckos in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living in Gorczyce are assigned to the parish in Gołdap (Goldap) , a branch parish of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
