Krzyżewko ( German  Krzysöwken , 1927 to 1945 Kreuzdorf ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community of Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Krzyżewko is located in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and only 500 meters from the Voivodeship border with Podlasie , which was the state border between Germany and Poland until 1939 . It is eight kilometers to the west to the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

In 1539 the place called Jan Kirschner , before 1785 Krziesöffken , after 1785 Krzysewken , until 1927 Krzysöwken was founded. It only consisted of a few small yards.

From 1874 to 1945 the place was incorporated into the district of Markowsken ( Polish: Markowskie ), which - renamed in 1938 to "District of Markau (Ostpr.)" - belonged to the district of Oletzko (1933 to 1945 district of Treuburg) in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Krzysöwken had 51 inhabitants in 1910.

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

From April 1, 1927, the place was called "Kreuzdorf". The number of inhabitants remained constant at 51 in 1933 and had fallen to 49 by 1939.

As a result of the war, the small town came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Krzyżewko". Today it is part of the rural community Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in the powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ) , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Krzysöwken was parish in the Eichhorn parish ( Polish: Szczecinki ) of the evangelical parish Mierunsken / Eichhorn in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of Marggrabowa (Treuburg) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Krzyżewko belongs to the Catholic parish Szczecinki with the branch church in Krupin (Krupinnen) in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the parish of Suwałki with the branch church in Gołdap in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Krzyżewko is a little away from the traffic and is on secondary roads from the west of Krupin (Krupinnen) , from the south from Markowskie (Markowsken , 1938 to 1945 Markau (East Pr.)) And from the east from Nieszki (already in the Podlaskie Voivodeship) located).
