Kurkławki ( German  cork varnish ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Barciany (rural community Barten ) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ).

Geographical location

Kurkławki is located just a few hundred meters south of the Polish state border with the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast (Königsberg region (Prussia)) in the northern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , five kilometers southeast of the former district town of Gerdauen (now Schelesnodoroschny in Russian ) or 27 kilometers north of today's District metropolis Kętrzyn ( German Rastenburg ).  

history

The former Korklauken - after 1438 Korcklack , after 1785 to 1945 called Korklack - was founded before 1382. On April 9, 1874, small Gutsort an office village was and thus its name to a newly built office district in the county Gerdauen in Administrative district Königsberg within the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the Korklack manor had 268 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, the exclave Henriettenfeld ( Polish Sławosze ) of the manor district Korklack was umgemeindet to Assaunen (Polish Asuny ). On the same day, the Korklack manor district merged with the rural community Doyen (1938 to 1945 Dugen , Duje in Polish ) and the two manor districts Kanoten ( Kanoty in Polish , no longer existent) and Posegnick ( Sori in Russian , no longer existent) to form the new rural community Posegnick. On March 6, 1932, the Korklack district was accordingly renamed the Assaunen district.

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland . This also affected the cork lacquer, a few hundred meters from the northern part of East Prussia, which was transferred to Russia and which received the Polish name form "Kurkławki". Today the settlement ( Osada in Polish ) belongs to the rural community of Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . Kurkławki seems to be uninhabited today and to be assigned to the places that disappeared in the post-war period.
