Miłuki ( German  Millucken ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Sorkwity ( German  Sorquitten ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Miłuki is located on the west bank of the Jezioro Lampackie ( German  Sorquitter See , Lampatzki-See ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , twelve kilometers southwest of the district town of Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

history

The Millucken Manor was founded around 1378. In 1785 it was mentioned as "a noble village and Vorwerk with 26 fireplaces". Before 1908, the Millucken manor district was incorporated into the Sorquitten district ( Polish Sorkwity ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Millucken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Millucken, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928 Millucken lost its independence and merged with the manor districts of Groß Joachimowen, Klein Joachimowen and Sorquitten to form the new rural community of Sorquitten .

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Millucken was also affected. It was given the Polish form of the name "Miłuki" and is now a village in the rural community Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
