Jelonek ( German  Grünheyde , 1938 to 1945 Grünheide ) is a small forest settlement in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community of Kruklanki (Kruglanken) in the Giżycki powiat ( Lötzen district ).

Geographical location

The forestry ( Polish leśniczówka ) Jelonek is located in the extreme southeast corner of the Borkener Forest (also: Borker Heide, Polish Puszcza Borecka ) in the south of Lake Litigaino (Polish Jezioro Litygajno ) in the north-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It is 20 kilometers to the east to the former district town of Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Oletzko), and 28 kilometers to the east to today's district metropolis Giżycko ( German:  Lötzen ).

history

Today's small forest settlement ( osada leśna in Polish ) is the northern part of the village Grünheyde (1938 to 1945 Grünheide ), which once belonged together , the southern and main part of which under the same name Jelonek is now part of the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen , 1938 to 1945 Altkirchen) ) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

The village of Grünheide with the forestry department has existed since 1709, when it was founded - at that time under the name of Zielonken , after Heyde , after 1785 . The two districts of Forsthaus Grünheyde and Klein Grünheyde belonged to the village . The village belonged to the Wessolowen district , which - renamed "Fronicken District" in 1938 - was assigned to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

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

As a result of the war, Grünheide (this form of name has existed since 1938) came to Poland with all of East Prussia . The district Forsthaus Grünheide was separated from the village, has since been called as the village also "Jelonek", but forms a small village with currently 22 residents in the rural community Kruklanki (Kruklanki) in giżycko county (district Giżycko ), before 1998 the Suwalki province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.

Religions

The village of Forsthaus Grünheyde / Grünheide was before 1945 in the Protestant Church Orlowen (1938 to 1945 Adlresdorf, Polish Orłowo ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, the Jelonek forestry belongs to the Catholic parish Orłowo in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Protestant parish in Wydminy (Widminnen) , a subsidiary of the parish of Giżycko (Lötzen) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

  2. ↑ The separation into two municipalities and districts can be justified by the fact that now all forestry departments of the southern Puszcza Borecka belong to the Gmina Kruklanki in the powiat Giżycki and are not assigned to different districts as before
