Geographical location

Kałęczyny is located in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , nine kilometers south-east of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) .

history

The village called Pogorzellen at the time , Kallenczinnen after 1785 , Kallendczynen after 1818 and Kallenczynnen until 1938 was founded in 1548. A farm and later a steam mill belonged to him .

From 1874 to 1945, the site was in the District Wischniewen ( Polish Wiśniowo Ełckie for -) incorporated, which - renamed "District Kölmersdorf" 1938 county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen : (1905 Government district Allenstein of) Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

The number of inhabitants was 256 in 1910 and rose to 285 by 1933. Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kallenczynnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Kallenczynnen, 180 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, Kallenczynnen was renamed "Lenzendorf" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The number of residents was 272 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Kałęczyny". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
