history

Until 1945

The rural community Walburg existed from 1928 to 1945 , which was divided into three localities: Klein Blumenau , Kowallik and Waldburg.

Klein Blumenau

The rural community of Klein Blumenau ( Kwiatuszki Małe in Polish ), founded before 1811, was before the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Century incorporated into the rural community of Kowallik.

Kowallik

The date of the establishment of the rural parish of Kowallik is unknown. In 1820 the small village is mentioned as Kowalik . The sawmill, 750 meters to the south, gave the place regional importance.

In 1874, Kowallik was incorporated into the newly established district of Farienen (in Polish: Faryny ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . The population of the village with the district of Klein Blumenau was 228 in 1910. Based on 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 to Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Kowallik, 208 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Waldburg was incorporated into the rural community of Kowallik, and at the same time Kowallik was renamed "Waldburg". This naming of the municipality remained until 1945, Kowallik was now only a residential area of the "new" municipality, before the former name is taken up again in the Polish name form.

Forest castle

There is no reliable information about the development of the Gutsdorf Waldburg. There are place names like Mosdzien , after 1754 Katzmarcik Piecisko , after 1785 Kaczmarskie , around 1815 Pieczysko , until 1857 the entry “Chatoullée was only created in 1822” and the three places Klein Blumenau, Kowallik and Chatoullée = Waldburg were named .

Like the rural communities of Klein Blumenau and Kowallik, the manor district of Waldburg was also incorporated into the district of Farienen ( Faryny in Polish ) in 1874. In 1910 the Gutsdorf Waldburg had 35 inhabitants. In the rural community of Waldburg a total of 307 inhabitants were registered in 1933, and 287 in 1939. In the referendum on July 11, 1920, 44 residents of Waldburg voted to remain with East Prussia, while no votes were cast for Poland.

Until 1945 there was a customs border inspection post in Waldburg .

After 1945

As a result of the war, Waldburg and its three localities came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia . The village was given the Polish form of name "Kowalik" and is now the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ). As such, it is integrated into the association of the rural community Rozogi (Friedrichshof) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Ostrołęka Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Kowalik had 173 inhabitants.

church

Waldburg with its three living spaces was aligned to the Evangelical Church Friedrichshof in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and to the Roman Catholic parish in Liebenberg (Polish clone ) in the then diocese of Warmia .

The relationship to the church in Rozogi is today on the Catholic side. The parish church belonged to the current Archdiocese of Warmia . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the church in Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

During the reign of Friedrich Wilhelm III. founded school was destroyed in World War I and rebuilt in 1921.
