Kupin (German Kuppen ) is a village in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northeastern Poland. The place belongs to Gmina Zalewo in Powiat Iławski .

geography

Kupin is located in the moraine landscape of the Oberland , only about one kilometer southeast of Zalewo. The district of the place is bounded in the west by the Jezioro Ewingi ( Ewingsee ) and in the north by the Zalewka brook ( Mühlengraben ).

Popki : To the south-east of the village there is a single farm that was given the toponym "Popki" after 1945. The name is derived from the last German owner, Fritz Poppke.

history

Kuppen was founded by the German Order as a Hufenzinsdorf . The place name is probably derived from a Prussian field name that was attached to the area where the mill ditch flows into the Ewingsee. The village was probably founded in 1299, and in 1320 it received its second festival because the first was lost. The village comprised 60 hooves including four hooves for the pastor in Saalfeld and six hooves for the mayor . The mayor also had the right to keep a third of the fines and set up a sheep farm with 300 sheep.

A two-class elementary school existed in Kuppen from the 18th century until 1945, and since the late 19th century there was a part-time position for a handicraft teacher (usually the wife of the first teacher) in addition to the two teaching positions. The school building burned down in 1945 and was later demolished.

In 1874 an administrative district of Kuppen was formed in the district of Mohrungen , to which the rural communities of Kuppen and Sorbehnen and the manor districts of Kattern , Mitteldorf and Rombitten were assigned. Since a regional reform in 1928 (dissolution of the manor districts in Prussia), the Kuppen administrative district consisted of the municipalities of Kuppen and Sorbehnen with almost unchanged borders. The administrative district and municipality of Kuppen existed in this form until 1945.

After incorporation into the Polish state, Kuppen was renamed Kupin and added to the newly formed Gmina Zalewo. The place is today the seat of a Schulzenamt without any other associated localities.
