Geographical location

Kilianki is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, eleven kilometers northwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

Friedendorf was founded in 1817 by separating from Kiliannen (1938 to 1945: Kilianen , in Polish Kiliany ). Before 1945, the place consisted of several small farms.

From 1874 to 1945 Friedensdorf was incorporated into the administrative district of Schareyken (1938 to 1945: Schareiken, Polish Szarejki ). Until 1945 it belonged to the Oletzko district - called "Treuburg district" from 1933 to 1945 - in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . The population of Friedensdorf was 49 in 1910. It decreased to 40 by 1933 and was still 38 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Friedendorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Friedendorf, 42 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

In 1945, Peace Village came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and has since been leading the Polish form of the name "Kilianki". Today the place belongs to the association of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945, the Protestant church members were parish in the parish of the Church of Schareyken (1938 to 1945: Schareiken, Polish Szarejki ) in the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today the evangelical inhabitants of Kilianki belong to the parish in Gołdap (Goldap) , a branch parish of the Suwałki parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

On the Catholic side , the Friedensdorfer were oriented towards Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg, Polish Olecko ) in what was then the Diocese of Warmia until 1945 . Today the former Protestant church in Szarejki is the parish church of the Catholics. It belongs to one of the two deaneries in Olecko in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
