history

Local history

The establishment of Lehmanen might be doing before 1408 ,. It was first mentioned in a document in 1427. In 1496, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Johann von Tiefen granted the village mayor Peter Obestroy special privileges.

In 1785, the economic situation in the village was not exactly described as favorable, as it says: “The farmers live from agriculture , cattle breeding and spinning . Because the flax doesn't turn out for a year, they have to buy. The hay yield is not enough. The financial circumstances are bleak ”. As part of reform measures in the first half of the 19th century, the number of farms increased.

In 1910 there were 261 residents registered in Lehmanen. Three years later Lehmanen was in the tradition of Beutnerdorf ( Polish Bartna Strona , no longer in existence) seat and namesake of a new administrative district that existed until 1945 and for district Szczytno in the administrative district of Olsztyn in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Lehmanen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Lehmanen, 198 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

The population of Lehmanens was 244 in 1933 and 249 in 1939. The Great Silvensee ( Jezioro Lemańskie in Polish ) belonged to the village at that time . From time immemorial , the farmers had fishing rights on it , which they used until shortly before the expulsion . This began in the last years of the Second World War . As a result of the war, the entire southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945. Thus also Lehmanen, whose Polish form of the name became "Lemany". Today the place with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) is a place in the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Lemany had 347 inhabitants.
