Geographical location

Kruklin is located on the south bank of the Kruglinner See (1938 to 1945 Kraukelner See , in Polish Jezioro Kruklin ) in the north-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The district town of Giżycko (Lötzen) is ten kilometers to the west.

history

In 1552 the village called "Kracklienen" around 1818, "Kruklinnen" after 1871 and then "Kruglinnen" until 1938 was founded. In 1785 it was mentioned as a village with a water mill and 17 fire places, in 1818 with 35 fire places and 190 souls.

When the Staßwinnen district ( Polish Staświny ) was established in 1874 , Kruglinnen was incorporated. The county - 1938 "District Eisermühl" renamed - belonged until 1945 to the county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

533 residents were registered in Kruglinnen in 1910. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kruglinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kruglinnen, 400 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes. The population decreased to 528 by 1933 and amounted to 488 in 1939.

On June 3, 1938, Kruglinnen was renamed to "Kraukel" for political and ideological reasons to ward off foreign-sounding place names.

In 1945 the place came to Poland as a result of the war with the whole of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name "Kruklin". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a place within the Gmina Giżycko (rural community Lötzen) in the powiat Giżycki (district Lötzen), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Kruglinnen or Kraukel was parish in the Protestant Church Milken ( Polish: Miłki ) 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 .

Today Kruklin belongs to the Catholic parish in Bystry (Biestern) with the branch chapel in Upałty Małe (Klein Upalten) in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Evangelical Parish Church in Giżycko in the Diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

An elementary school was founded in Kruglinnen in 1743. In 1945 it was run in two classes.
