Kibisy ( German  Kybissen , 1938 to 1945 Kibissen ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the Gmina Prostki ( rural community Prostken ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ).

Geographical location

Kibisy is located in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 34 kilometers northeast of the former district town of Johannisburg ( Pisz in Polish ) and 15 kilometers southwest of today's district metropolis Ełk ( Lyck in German ).  

history

The small village, called Kibissen after 1579, Kibbissen after 1785 and Kybissen until 1938 , was founded in 1511 and consisted of several small farms and homesteads.

From 1874 to 1945 it was incorporated into the Großrosen district.

In 1910 there were 72 inhabitants registered in Kybissen. Their number decreased to 64 by 1933. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, the spelling of Kybissen was changed to "Kibissen". In 1939 the population was 57.

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

In 1945 the city came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "Kibisy". Today the place is included in the Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) Dybowo (Dybowen , 1938 to 1945 Diebau) together with the neighboring village Ciernie (Czernien , 1938 to 1945 Dornberg) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Kybissen was parish in the Evangelical Church of Groß Rosinsko in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church in Johannisburg ( Pisz in Polish ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Kibisy belongs to the Catholic parish in Rożyńsk Wielki in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the churches in Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938 to 1945 Gehlenburg) and Ełk (Lyck) , both affiliated churches of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
