Kątki (Warmia-Masuria)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kątki (German small edges ) is a desert in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northeastern Poland. The former district belongs to Gmina Zalewo in Powiat Iławski .

geography

Kątki was in the moraine landscape of the Oberland , about 7 kilometers east of Zalewo. The agriculturally used hilly landscape dominates the central and eastern part of the district, there is also its highest point at 135.3 meters above sea ​​level . A windmill that could be seen from afar stood near it until after 1930. The western part of the district lies deeper and was originally covered by swamp forests in which peat was cut. These breaks are drained by a brook, which is one of the source brooks for a river that was called Damerau until 1945 and flows into the Jezioro Jeziorak (German Geserichsee ). At its northern border, the district was in a U-shape around the Jezioro Czarne (German Black Lake ), the water area itself already belonged to the Großanten estate. The former district boundary between Groß and Klein ridges forms part of the border between Gmina Małdyty ( Groß ridges , Polish: Kęty , renamed Kanty in 2009 ) and Gmina Zalewo.

history

The district of Klein Kante originally belonged to the manor Großanten , which was founded by the Teutonic Order as a manor of a great free . In a settlement process, the south-western third of the edge of the estate was settled by tenant farmers, whose farms remained in the upper ownership of the estate .

In 1848, Klein edges was a noble village belonging to the noble estate of Groß edges . It housed 48 residents in eight residential buildings, all of whom were Protestant and German-speaking. It was parish in the parish of Simnau . In judicial matters it was subordinate to the patrimonial court Großanten in Mohrungen .

In 1857 Klein edges had an unchanged 48 inhabitants.

From the second half of the 19th century, Klein edges had the status of a rural community . In 1874 it was subordinated to the Hanswalde district in the Mohrungen district . Between 1920 and 1928 the reindeer Karl Hoffmann was the head of the Hanswalde district in Kleinanten. In 1928, Klein edges was finally incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Groß Hanswalde .

Until 1945, a 15 hectare peat quarry belonged to Gut Kattern ; the goods address book from 1932 also recorded two farmers with properties of 30 and 46 hectares.

In 1945 the village was annexed by Poland and renamed Kątki by ministerial decree of April 4, 1950. After the expulsion of the German population of East Prussia not enough Polish settlers were ready to fill the gaps. So Kątki was given up as a place to live and the houses were leveled. The associated corridors are still used for agriculture.
