history

Around 1600 the place called Catrinowen after 1818 and Katrinowen until 1938 was founded.

In 1874 he was incorporated into the newly established district of Wischniewen (1938 to 1945 Kölmersdorf , Polish Wiśniowo Ełckie ). It belonged to 1945 the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The manor district of Katrinowen had a total of 101 inhabitants in 1910.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Katrinowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Katrinowen, 40 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not.

On September 30, 1928, he gave up his independence and was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Goldenau ( Kopijki in Polish ).

On June 3, 1938, the village was renamed to "Katrinfelde" for political and ideological reasons to ward off foreign-sounding place names .

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Katarzynowo". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a village in the Gmina Prostki (Prostken) association in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
