Kąp ( German  Kampen ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the Gmina Giżycko ( rural municipality Lötzen ) in the powiat Giżycki (district Lötzen ).

Geographical location

Kąp is located in the northeastern Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, six kilometers southeast of the district town of Giżycko (Lötzen) .

history

The small Masurian village, which wrote itself “camping” until 1918, was mentioned in 1785 as a village with 28 fire places, in 1818 with 21 fire places and 132 souls.

In 1874 the newly established administrative district Sulimmen ( Sulimy in Polish ) came about - within the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

208 inhabitants were registered in 1910 in Kampen - with its district Upalten-Bahnhof ( Polish: Upałty ) on the Lötzen – Johannisburg railway line . Their number rose to 229 by 1933 and was already 241 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kampen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kampen, 140 people voted to stay with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

In 1945, the village came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "Cape". Nearby, but already in the municipality of Miłki (Milken), is the settlement of Kąp with the same name , but apart from the name, no relationship between the two places can be proven. The village of Kąp is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( sołectwo in Polish ) and a village in the Gmina Giżycko (rural municipality of Lötzen ) in the powiat Giżycki (district of Lötzen ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Kampen belonged to the Evangelical Parish Church Lötzen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Parish Church of St. Bruno Lötzen in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Kąp belongs to the Evangelical Parish Church in Giżycko in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland , and on the Catholic side, the village is oriented towards the district town - in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

school

A school was founded in Kampen in 1741. In 1945 it was divided into two classes.

traffic

The Polish national road DK 63 (former German Reichsstraße 131 ) and the voivodship road DW 655 meet in Kąp . Both are of great importance, as they establish a connection to the north-eastern part of Poland with the Podlaskie Voivodeships as well as Mazovia and Lublin .

In the local area of ​​Kąp, the Upalten ( Polish: Upałty ) train station had been on the Lötzen – Johannisburg railway line since 1906 , although operations were discontinued in 1945 as a result of the war and most of the facilities were dismantled.
