Grabowo [ ɡraˈbɔvɔ ] ( German Grabowen , 1938 to 1945 Grabenhof ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Mrągowo ( rural community Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).
Geographical location
Grabowo is located in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , nine kilometers southwest of the district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).
history
The small Masurian town of Grabowen was founded in 1554 and consisted of the village and an estate 1.25 kilometers further north. With the residential areas Freynowen (1938 to 1945 Freihof , Polish Dobroszewo ), Krzossowen (1938 to 1945 Kreuzeck , Polish Krzesowo ( Krzosowo )) and Neu Grabowen (1938 to 1945 Neugrabenhof , Polish Głazowo ) Grabowen became an official village in 1874 and thus gave its name to an administrative district which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Grabowen 400 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, Grabowen was renamed “Grabenhof” for political and ideological reasons to defend itself against seemingly foreign place names .
As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Grabowo”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn (Allenstein) Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
