Geographical location

Markowskie is east of the Markowskie Bagno (Markowskener ~ / Markauer Wiese) in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, eight kilometers southeast of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928-1945 Treuburg) .

history

The village, called Marckoffsken before 1785 and Markowsken until 1938 , was founded before 1600 and was a widely scattered place.

On May 27, 1874, it became Amtsdorf and thus gave its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and - in 1938 renamed "Amtsgebiet Markau (Ostpr.)" - to the district of Oletzko (1933–1945: district of Treuburg) in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province East Prussia belonged.

Markovsk had 381 inhabitants in 1910. Their number decreased to 337 by 1933 and was still 304 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Markowsken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Markowsken, 289 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, Markowsken was renamed "Markau (Ostpr.)" To avoid foreign-sounding place names for political and ideological reasons.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Markowskie”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a village in the Gmina Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938–1945 Wallenrode) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933–1945 ), until 1998 of the Suwałki voivodeship , since then the voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .
