Geographical location

Kobylinek is located in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 16 kilometers south of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) .

history

The village, which had a few large and small farms, was founded in 1529. In 1827, the Kobylinnen manor, which today forms the core of Kobylin , was established in the municipality .

Kobylinnen was in 1874 in the newly built office district Gorczitzen ( Polish Gorczyce ) incorporated, which - after a few years in "District Borken " (Polish Borki ) renamed - the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province East Prussia belonged.

In 1910 there were 165 inhabitants registered in Kobylinnen, in 1933 there were already 217.

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.

On June 3, 1938, the spelling of the place name changed to "Kobilinnen". A year later the population was 185.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Kobylinek". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a locality within the rural community Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
