Iwaśki ( German Iwaschken , 1938-1945 Hansbruch ) is a village in the northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Lyck district, belonging to the municipality of Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen) .
Geographical location
The village is located four kilometers northwest of Kalinowo on a side road leading from Piętki (Pientken , 1926-1945 Blumental) to Dorsze (Dorschen) . The county town of Elk (Lyck) is located 21 kilometers to the southwest.
Place name
The origin of the Masurian place name is not clearly established. It is believed that it is derived from the first name Iwan , the Slavic form for Johannes .
history
The town was founded as Iwaszken in 1539.
A mill near Iwaschken has been recorded since 1546.
In 1656 the Tatars, allied with Poland, invaded large parts of Masuria and Iwaschken, and the village was almost completely destroyed.
On May 27, 1874, a new district of Kallinowen (1938 to 1945 district of Dreimühlen , Polish : Kaloinowo ) was formed around Iwaschken in the Lyck district as part of a Prussian community reform , which includes the communities of Alt Czymochen , Dorschen , Gingen , Iwaschken, Kallinowen , Kokosken , Kowahlen (District of Lyck), Maaschen , Marczynowen , Pientken and Trentowsken.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Iwaschken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Iwaschken, 240 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
Iwaschken was renamed "Hansbruch" on July 16, 1938 in the course of the massive Germanization of place names of Masurian origin. The renaming followed the assumption of the origin of the name Iwaschken from the name Iwan / Johannes, or Hans for short, and the connection with the geographical features of the formerly swampy area (Bruch).
In 1939 Hansbruch (Iwaschken) had 308 inhabitants.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Hansbruch (Iwaschken) , which belonged to 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, in particular from the Raczki region in Podlachia . The place Hansbruch was renamed “Iwaśki” in the Polish spelling of the historical place name Iwaschken.
From 1975 to 1998 Iwaśki 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 rural community Kalinowo .
Religions
Until 1945 Iwaschken was parish in the Evangelical Church of Kallinowen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Andreas in Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the then diocese of Warmia .
Today Iwaśki belongs to the Catholic parish in Kalinowo in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz ( German Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
