Kipary ( German  Kiparren , 1938 to 1945 Wacholderau ) is a small village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Wielbark (city and rural community Willenberg ) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Kipary is located in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 23 kilometers south of the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ). The German-Polish state border - today partially formed by the border between the Masurian Voivodeship and the Masovian Voivodeship - runs past the town only about a thousand meters further east.

history

In the documents of the accounting office Neidenburg from 1719/20, the oldest information about the place can be found when there is talk of "Kyparren founded in 1701". If the financial circumstances of the inhabitants in the 18th and 19th centuries are not described very positively, the economic success of the regulation of the Omule River ( Omulew in Polish ), which was concluded in 1935, is highly praised.

Between 1874 and 1945 Kiparren was in the District United Lattana (Polish Latana Wielka incorporated), which - for - 1938 "District Großheidenau" renamed East Prussian district Szczytno belonged.

On December 1, 1910, 278 residents were registered in Kiparren. Their number rose to 290 by 1933

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 Kiparren, 228 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, and Poland received 2 votes.

For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names, Kiparren was renamed "Wacholderau" on June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, whereby the giant junior group near the Omule River was probably the godfather of the naming. In 1939 Wacholderau had 303 inhabitants.

Before 1945 there was a customs post and a gendarmerie post in Kiparren / Wacholderau .

As a result of the war, Wacholderau was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of name "Kipary". Today the small village, as the official seat of a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo in Polish ), is part of the Wielbark municipal and rural community in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Kipary had 99 inhabitants.
