Lejkowo ( German  Röblau ) is a small village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Wielbark (urban and rural community Willenberg ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Lejkowo is located in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 17 kilometers south of the district town of Szczytno ( Ortelsburg in German  ).

The Röblaufloss ( Polish : Lejkowska Struga ) runs through the village, flowing 29 kilometers from north to south and - most recently called "Großer Graben" (Polish: Wielki Rów ) because of its structural expansion - into the Omulef (Polish: Omulew ) flows out.

history

Röblau was one of the six villages that were created as part of the drainage measures of the Lattanabrbruch ( Bagna Łatana in Polish ) towards the end of the 18th century. So it was not built as a closed settlement on royal orders, but with farms built and scattered on the respective lands. The success of the drainage measures was limited; it was not until the 1930s that they ensured economic success.

Between 1874 and 1945 Röblau was in the District United Lattana (Polish Latana Wielka incorporated), which - for - 1938 "District Großheidenau" renamed East Prussian district Szczytno belonged.

In 1910 Röblau had 143 inhabitants. Their number rose to 148 by 1933 and totaled 133 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Röblau, 92 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

With the entire southern East Prussia Röblau was in consequence of the war in 1945 Poland transferred. The village received the Polish name form "Lejkowo" and is today with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of the urban and rural community Wielbark (Willenberg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945, Röblau was ecclesiastically oriented towards the city of Willenberg (Wielbark) : towards the Protestant church in the church province of East Prussia, the Church of the Old Prussian Union, as well as the Roman Catholic parish there in the diocese of Warmia . Even today, Lejkowo is catholic connected to Wielbark, which now belongs to the Archdiocese of Warmia . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the parish in Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
