Marchewki ( German Marchewken , 1926 to 1945 Bergfelde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the Gmina Prostki ( rural community Prostken ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ).

Geographical location

Marchewki is located in the southeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 35 kilometers northeast of the former district town of Johannisburg ( Pisz in Polish ) and 17 kilometers southwest of today's district metropolis Ełk ( Lyck in German ).

history

In 1509 the village, consisting of only a few small farmsteads , was founded as Marcheffken after 1579, Marchöwken after 1785 and Marchewken until 1926 .

From 1874 to 1945 the place was incorporated into the district of Großrosen .

Marchewken had 75 inhabitants in 1910.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Marchewken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Marchewken, 60 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

In 1926 the Marchewken manor was converted into the Bergfelde rural community . The population rose to 97 by 1933 and was 87 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of name “Marchewki”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the community of Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945 Marchewken was parish in the Evangelical Church of Groß Rosinsko (1938 to 1945 Großrosen , Polish: Rożyńsk Wielki ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church in Johannisburg (Polish: Pisz ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Marchewki belongs to the Roman Catholic parish in Rożyńsk Wielki in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish of Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938 to 1945 Gehlenburg) and Ełk (Lyck) , both sub- parishes of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
