Kiliany ( German Kiliannen , 1938 to 1945 Kilianen ) is a small village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship that belongs to the rural community of Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938 to 1945 Reimannswalde) in the powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

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

history

The small village originally called Kylian , called Killianen after 1785 and Kiliannen until 1938 , was founded in 1561. In 1817 the newly formed village called Friedensdorf ( Kilianki in Polish ) was separated.

From 1874 to 1945 Kiliannen belonged to the administrative district of Schareyken ( Polish: Szarejki ), which - renamed in 1939 to "District of Schareiken" - part of the Oletzko district - from 1933 to 1945 called "Landkreis Treuburg" - was in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Kiliannen had 197 inhabitants. This decreased to 166 by 1933 and was only 148 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Killianen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Killianen 142 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

In 1938 the name was changed to "Kilianen". Seven years later, the village came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "kiliany". The village is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki within the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

The majority Protestant population was parish in the parish of the church in Schareyken before 1945 and thus belonged to the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The Catholic church members were oriented towards Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg , Polish Olecko ) in what was then the Diocese of Warmia .

Today there is a Catholic parish in Szarejki , whose parish church is the former Protestant church. The parish belongs to one of the two deaneries in Olecko in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The few Protestant church members still living here belong to the parish in Gołdap (Goldap) , a subsidiary of the Suwałki parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Kiliany is a little remote west of the Polish national road DK 65 . The village can be reached via a cul-de-sac that branches off the side road not far from Kilianki (Friedensdorf) , which leads from Stożne (Stoosznen , 1938 to 1945 Stosnau) to Sokółki (Sokolken , 1938 to 1945 Halldorf) .
