Kije ( German  Röbel ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Świętajno ( Schwentainen ) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Kije is located in the eastern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, 18 kilometers west of the district town of Olecko ( Marggrabowa , colloquially Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg ).

history

The Gutsdorf Röbel was first mentioned in 1776.

On May 27, 1874, it was incorporated into the newly established Wessolowen district ( Wesołowo in Polish , now defunct), which belonged to the Oletzko district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . The place had 86 inhabitants in 1910.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Röbel belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Röbel, 74 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, Röbel gave up his independence and was combined with neighboring estate districts to form the new rural community Polommen ( Polish Połom ).

The Röbel manor house, which dates from the second half of the 19th century, is located on a hill above the river Elk (Polish Ełk ) in the catchment area of ​​the Borkener Forest (also Borkener Heide, Polish Puszcza Borecka ). The estate covered an area of ​​500 hectares and had a steam-powered distillery . The estate had been state property since the beginning of the 20th century.

As a result of the war, Röbel came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name “Kije”. Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a place in the network of the rural community Świętajno ( Schwentainen ) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , from 1933 to 1945 Treuburg district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

The former manor house is now privately owned.

Religions

Until 1945 Röbel was parish in the Protestant Church of Schwentainen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg , Polish Olecko ) in the then diocese of Warmia .

Today Kije belongs to the Protestant parish Wydminy ( Widminnen ), a branch of the parish Giżycko ( Lötzen ) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , and to the Catholic parish church Świętajno in the Diocese of Ełk ( Lyck ) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
