Geographical location

The desert lies in the west of the Masurian Lake District , which belongs to the Baltic ridge . The Wardęga River connects Lake Serwent with Lake Tumiań , which is located further north of Grabowo.

geology

The landscape was shaped by the Fennoscandian ice sheet and is a post-glacial , hilly, wooded ground moraine with numerous channel lakes and rivers. Characteristic for the area are numerous lakes, swamps, ponds as well as coniferous and mixed forests, which cover 53% of the municipal area of ​​Purda.

history

Originally this Prussian landscape ( Gau Barten ) was settled by the pagan Prussians . After Zwangschristianisierung by the German order of knights that was the diocese of Warmia from 1243, part of the German Order of the country .

After the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466, Warmia was subordinated to the Crown of Poland as an autonomous duchy of Warmia . Grabowo was first mentioned in 1656 in the “Prestation Tables”. With the first partition of Poland in 1772, Warmia became part of the Kingdom of Prussia .

In May 1874 the administrative district Preylowen (after the Germanization of the place names from 1938 to 1945 Preiwils ) was formed with the manorial district Grabowo. From November 1920, the Grabowo residential area (after the place names were Germanised from 1938 to 1945 Buchental ) belonged to the Nerwigk rural community .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Grabowo belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Grabowo, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, and Poland received 20 votes.

A weir was built on the river and a sawmill with a grist mill was operated. The largest farm with 30 hectares in the years 1930-1945 was owned by Andreas Koitka.

In the course of the East Prussian operation , Buchental was captured by the Red Army on January 25, 1945 and placed under the Soviet command. Four residents of the village were deported to the Soviet Union by the NKVD , of which only one returned home after two years. To the west of the village, three deceased were buried in the spring of 1945. Grabowo has belonged to the Republic of Poland since spring 1945 . The village was continuously abandoned by residents and has been a desert since 1971. Not far are the Rax and Poludniewo (Gut Paulshof) desert areas.

Religions

The pagan Prussians worshiped the Baltic and Lithuanian deities . After the forced Christianization by the Teutonic Order, the Diocese of Ermland was part of the Teutonic Order Land from 1243.

With the establishment of the parish Wartenburg in 1364, Grabowo belonged to the local parish with the St. Anna Church until 1871 . A branch church of the parish Wartenburg was built in Groß Bartelsdorf at the end of the 14th century . In the 16th century a new church was built in place of the old one, which burned down completely in 1620. In 1702 a church in Bartelsdorf was rebuilt and consecrated . In 1871 the church in Groß Bartelsdorf was branched off from the parish of Wartenburg and the independent parish of Groß Bartelsdorf with the Jakobuskirche was established.

The residents of the Protestant denomination visited the church in Bischofsburg , after 1836 in Wartenburg and after the First World War the small church in Raschung .
