Geographical location

Kobylin is located in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 14 kilometers south of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) .

history

Within the rural community of Kobylinnen ( Kobylinek in Polish ) the manor of the same name was founded in 1827, which today forms the core of the village of Kobylin. Until 1945, the estate was integrated into the rural community, thus belonged to the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1905 the manor had 79 inhabitants. The name spelling changed in 1938 to "Kobilinnen".

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kobylinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kobylinnen 100 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, the community and the estate with all of southern East Prussia became part of Poland , with both places becoming independent and given their own name: the Kobilinnen estate is now called "Kobylin", the village " Kobylinek ". Both are also the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus places in the network of the rural community Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

With the mother community Kobylinnen resp. Kobilinnen the estate was parished before 1945 in the Evangelical Church of Ostrokollen (1938 to 1945 Scharfenrade , Polish Ostrykół ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Adalbert in Lyck (Polish Ełk ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, on the Catholic side, Kobylin belongs to the parish in Prostki (Prostken) , which looks after a branch church in the nearby Sokółki (Sokolken , 1938 to 1945 Stahnken) and belongs to the Ełk diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
