history

Place name

Karl Marks was the name of one of the eight Scharwerk builders who were given land after the hand-held festival in 1548. The German - perhaps also the Polish - name form goes back to him.

After 1945 the village was called "Marksoby" for many years, now it is officially called "Marksewo". But colloquially, both names are used synonymously. In the vicinity of the village is the former Marxöwer or Markshöfer See, which is officially called “Jezioro Marksoby” in Polish.

Local history

On October 26th, 1548, the hand festival is dated, by which Roman Specka was commissioned to stock 38 Hufen with farmers. An elevation from 1592 shows a village complex that has been preserved up to the most recent times. The Tartar invasion in 1652 brought great hardship to the residents when the majority of them were murdered or kidnapped. The so-called Tatar song originates from this period and has survived into the 20th century. The great plague of 1709/11 also claimed heavy victims .

In 1788 the name Neu Marxöwen appears for the first time , which led to the name change from the previous Marxöwen to "Alt Marxöwen".

In 1874 Alt Marxöwen (as well as Neu Marxöwen) was incorporated into the newly established Salleschen district (also: Saleschen, Zalesie in Polish ), which - renamed " Rheinswein District " in 1938 - belonged to the Ortelsburg district of East Prussia . Two years later, the old and new Marxöwen were combined to form the Marxöwen rural community. In 1910 it had 371 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 308.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Marxöwen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Marxöwen, 242 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Marxöwen was renamed “Markshöfen” for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. A year later the population was 261.

In 1945 Marxöwen was / Mark courts in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland transferred. The village was given the Polish form of name “Marksoby” and is now officially called “Marksewo”. It is now a village within the rural municipality of Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945 Marxöwen or Markshöfen was parish in the Evangelical Church of Klein Jerutten ( Jerutki in Polish ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of Ortelsburg .
