Marcinowo ( German Marczynowen , 1928–1945 Martinshöhe ) is a village in the north-eastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), belonging to the municipality of Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen ).
Geographical location
The village is located four kilometers north of Kalinowo on a side road leading to Dorsze . Up to the city of Elk (Lyck) is 23 kilometers to the southwest.
Place name
The origin of the Masurian place name is not clearly established. It is believed that it is derived from the first name Marcin , the Slavic form for Martin , as the names of neighboring villages have corresponding similarities.
history
The place was founded in 1472. In 1656 the Tatars, allied with Poland, invaded large parts of Masuria and Marczynowen, and the village was almost completely destroyed.
In 1792/93, 21 boys and 12 girls were recorded in a school list at the school in Marczynowen.
With the Prussian territorial reform of 1874, Marczynowen belonged as a rural community to the district of Kallinowen in the district of Lyck . The head of office of Kallinowen had his seat in Marczynowen (Martinshöhe) himself until 1931.
On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Marczynowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Marczynowen, 220 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
Marczynowen was renamed in 1928 in the course of the increasing Germanization of place names of Masurian, Polish or Lithuanian origin in "Martinshöhe". The renaming followed the assumption of the origin of the name Marczynowen from the name Marcin / Martin and the connection with the geographical situation of a slight hill in the local area.
In 1933 there were 305 inhabitants in Martinshöhe, in 1939 Martinshöhe had only 271 inhabitants.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Martinshöhe, which was part of the German Empire (East Prussia), fell to Poland. The resident German population, if they had not fled, was largely expelled or resettled after 1945 and, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland, in particular from the Raczki region in Podlachia . The place Martinshöhe was renamed in the Polish spelling of the historical place name Marczynowen in "Marcinowo".
From 1975 to 1998 Marcinowo belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the Gmina Kalinowo association.
Religions
Until 1945 Marczynowen resp. Martinshöhe in the Evangelical Church of Kallinowen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Andreas in Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the then diocese of Warmia .
Today Marcinowo belongs to the Catholic parish in Kalinowo in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz ( German Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
