Geographical location

Lipowo is located south of the Borkener Forest (also: Borker Heide, Polish Puszcza Borecka ) in the north-east of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship. The former and present district town Giżycko (Lötzen) is 23 kilometers to the west.

history

The small village, called Lippowen after 1785 and Lipowen until 1928 , was incorporated into the Orlowen District ( Orłowo in Polish ) in 1874. It was renamed "District Adlersdorf" in 1938 and was until 1945 the county Lötzen in the administrative district of Allenstein (until 1905: Administrative district Gumbinnen ) of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910, a total of 327 inhabitants were registered in Lipowen.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Lipowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Lipowen, 320 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On March 5, 1928, Lipowen was renamed and given the name "Lindenheim". In 1933 the village had 340 and in 1939 288 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since been called "Lipowo". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring village Majerka , and a village in the network of the rural community Kruklanki (Kruglanken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
