history

The place was founded in 1556 and originally probably only consisted of a courtyard. In 1752 Mateusz Krajewski (Matthäus Krajewsky) worked there as an organ builder and from 1760 to 1765 or 1775 Johann Christoph Ungefug .

In 1874 the place was incorporated into the newly established Lyck-Land administrative district in the Gumbinnen administrative district (from 1905: Allenstein administrative district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia.In 1905, Malleczewen had 124 inhabitants, in 1910 there were 117.

On September 30, 1928, Malleczewen was incorporated into the neighboring community of Barannen (1938 to 1945: Keipern , Barany in Polish ). On June 3, 1938, it was renamed "Maletten" for political and ideological reasons to ward off foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Maleczewo”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and a village in the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Malleczewen was parish in the Protestant parish church of Lyck in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Adalbert in Lyck in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Maleczewo still belongs to Ełk on the evangelical side , whose parish is now a subsidiary of the parish in Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland . On the Catholic side, Maleczewo is now oriented towards Nowa Wieś Ełcka (Neuendorf) , where its own parish has been established, which belongs to the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
