Kiersztanowo [ kʲɛrʂtaˈnɔvɔ ] ( German Kerstinowen , 1938 to 1945 Kersten ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Mrągowo ( rural community Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).
Geographical location
Kiersztanowo is east of the river Deine ( Polish Dajna ) between the Kerstinower See (1938 to 1945 Kersten-See , Polish Jezioro Kiersztanowskie ) and the Juno-See (Polish Jezioro Juno ) in the middle of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , eight kilometers northwest of the district town Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).
history
The village, then called Schwartzenburgk , Schwarzburg in 1422 and Kerstinowen until 1938 , was founded before 1454. During the Thirteen Years' War (also: "Prussian City War") from 1454 to 1466 the village was completely destroyed. Once again it was razed to the ground during the Tatar invasion in 1657 and most of the population was murdered.
On April 8, 1874, Kerstinowen became an official village and thus gave its name to an administrative district that - renamed " Amts Bezirk Kersten" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . A place within the rural community Kerstinowen was Kleinsruh (Polish Sobięcin ).
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Kerstinowen, 380 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938, Kerstinowen was renamed “Kersten” for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names .
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 "Kiersztanowo". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn (Allenstein) voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian voivodeship .
