history

Gronsken was founded in 1484.

With the Prussian territorial reform of May 27, 1874, Gronsken belonged administratively as a rural community to the district of Dluggen ( Polish: Długie ) in the Lyck district , which included the communities of Burnien, Dluggen , Dlugoniedzialen, Duttken , Gronsken, Kolleschnicken , Krzysewen , Prawdzisken and the Guts districts Imionowen and the Romanowen .

On June 24, 1908, the rural community of Gronsken, which had previously belonged to the Dluggen district, came to the Borszymmen district with Duttken and Romanowen .

On December 1, 1910, 303 inhabitants were counted in Gronsken.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gronsken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gronsken, 180 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

In 1933 there are 262 inhabitants in Gronsken.

Gronsken was renamed on August 18, 1938 in the course of the massive Germanization of place names of Masurian, Polish or Lithuanian origin in "Steinkendorf".

In 1939 Steinkendorf (Gronsken) had 244 inhabitants.

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Steinkendorf , which was part of the German Empire ( East Prussia ), fell to Poland. The resident German population, if they had not fled, was largely expelled or resettled after 1945 and, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland. The place Steinkendorf was renamed in the Polish spelling of the historical place name Gronsken in "Grądzkie" with the addition "Ełckie".

From 1975 to 1998 Grądzkie Ełckie belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the Gmina Kalinowo association .

Religions

Until 1945 Gronsken was in the Protestant Church Borszymmen (1936 to 1938 Borschymmen , 1938 to 1945 Borschimmen , Polish Borzymy ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in Diocese of Warmia as a parish.

The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the Pisz (Johannisburg) parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
