Geographical location

Kukówko is located on the south bank of the Kukowker See (1938 to 1945 Groß Heinrichstaler See, Polish: Jezioro Kukowino ) in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, twelve kilometers southwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , also colloquially: Oletzko , 1933 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

The small village called Kuckowken after 1785 and Kukowken until 1938 was founded in 1472.

From 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the Gonsken district ( Gąski in Polish ), which - renamed "Herzogskirchen district" in 1938 - belonged to the Oletzko district (Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1904 the neighboring village of Leschnicken (1938 to 1945 Kleinheinrichstal, in Polish Leśniki) was incorporated into Kukowken.

The rural community of Kukowken had 178 inhabitants in 1910. Their number decreased to 170 by 1933 and was still 166 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kukowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kukowken, 111 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, Kukowken was renamed "Herzogskirchen" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Kukówko". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Kukowken was parish in the Evangelical Church Gonsken (Polish Gąski) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Kukówko belongs to the protestant church Ełk (Elk) , a filial community of the parish Pisz (Johannesburg) in the Diocese Mazury the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland , and the Catholic church Gąski the diocese Elk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
