Kronowo ( German Kronau ) is the common name of a village ( Polish wieś ) and a settlement (osada) in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . Both are part of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki (district of Lötzen ).
Geographical location
The village with the settlement Kronowo is located on the west bank of the Deyguhnsee ( Polish Jezioro Dejguny ) in the north-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 13 kilometers west of the district town Giżycko (Lötzen) .
history
In 1477 the former Kronau was founded. Mentioned in 1785 as Cronau and köllmisches village with 14 fire places , in 1818 also with 15 fire places and 100 inhabitants, in 1874 the village was included in the newly established district of Groß Stürlack ( Sterławki Wielkie in Polish ), which existed until 1945 and belongs to the district of Lötzen in the Gumbinnen administrative district - 1905 to 1945: Allenstein district - belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kronau belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Kronau, 220 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
240 inhabitants were registered in Kronau in 1910. Their number was 245 in 193 and rose to 262 by 1939. On October 1, 1939, Kronau expanded to include the municipality of Birkensee (until 1929 Grzybowen, Polish: Grzybowo), which was incorporated.
As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Kronowo". A few hundred meters southwest of the village, a settlement of the same name was created. Kronowo is now the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo), which also includes the place Grzybowo . Thus, it forms a district within the urban and rural municipality Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
Religions
Kronau was parish in the Evangelical Parish Church of Groß Stürlack in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Parish Church of St. Bruno Lötzen in the Diocese of Warmia until 1945 .
Today Kronowo is part of the Catholic parish of Sterławki Wielkie in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and the Evangelical Chapel Congregation in Sterławki Wielkie , which belongs to the parish in Ryn in the Diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
