history

Place name

Local history

The establishment of the small town, which consists of several small farms and farms and was named Caspersgut after 1785 and Kasperngut after 1820, dates back to July 22, 1437, when the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Heinrich von Plauen awarded land to the "Faithful Mathes and Gerge", because “he took to heart the humility of the land at Caspersgut”. Even in 1787 the economic conditions were still described as “very mediocre”, because the inhabitants “often suffer from flooding of the Kaspe”. In 1850 the situation had not changed much. It was not until 1909 that the construction of the Bischofsburg – Ortelsburg railway line brought the residents a few advantages.

Between 1874 and 1945 Kaspersguth was in the District Schöndamerau ( Polish Trelkowo incorporated) of the East Prussian district Szczytno belonged. In 1910 the population of Kasperguth was 97. It rose to 110 by 1933 and was 92 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kaspersguth belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kaspersguth, 59 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

When all of southern East Prussia was surrendered to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Kaspersguth was also affected. It was given the Polish form of the name "Kaspry" and is now a village within the rural community of Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodship . In 2011 Kaspry had 59 inhabitants.

church

Until 1945 Kaspersguth was ecclesiastically oriented towards Ortelsburg : to the Protestant parish church there in the church province of East Prussia, the Church of the Old Prussian Union and the Roman Catholic Church, which belonged to the diocese of Warmia at that time .

On the evangelical side, the church in Szczytno is also part of the parish church for the residents of Kaspry , now part of the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland . On the Catholic side, there is now a relationship with the church in Trelkowo (Groß Schöndamerau) in the current Archdiocese of Warmia .

school

Until 1911 Kaspersguth belonged to Rohmanen ( Romany in Polish ). Afterwards, a classroom was set up in a private house and a teacher's apartment was created in another residential building. Finally, in 1926, a school building could be built. The school children were taught here until 1945 Achodden (1938 to 1945 Neuvölklingen , Polish Ochódno ) and partly children from Old Keykuth ( Stare Kiejkuty ).
