Niedźwiedzkie [ ɲɛd͡ʑˈvjɛt͡skʲɛ ] ( German  Niedzwetzken , 1926 to 1945 Bärengrund ) and Niedźwiedzkie (osada) are two localities in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . They belong to the rural community of Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

The village of Niedźwiedzkie is located in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, nine kilometers southeast of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) . Just one kilometer southeast of the village is the hamlet (osada leśna = German  forest settlement ) Niedźwiedzkie (osada).

history

The village then called Medofsky - later also with an estate - was founded in 1476. Before 1785 it was called Medwetzken , after 1871 Niedzwedzken and then until 1926 Niedzwetzken . In 1874 the place was incorporated into the Wielitzken district ( Wieliczki in Polish ), which - renamed "Wallenrode district" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On December 1, 1910, 349 inhabitants were registered in Niedzwetzken. From April 10, 1926, Niedzwetzken used the new place name "Bärengrund". The number of its inhabitants rose to 380 by 1933 and amounted to 350 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Niedzwetzken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Niedzwetzken, 271 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish form of name "Niedźwiedzkie". The hamlet of Niedźwiedzkie (osada) , for which no historical past prior to 1945 can be ascertained, is likely to have been formed during this time . The village and the osada are independent localities, but belong to the association of the rural community Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), the Suwałki Voivodeship until 1998, and the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship since then associated.

Religions

Niedzwetzken was parish in the Evangelical Church of Wielitzken in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church [Olecko | [Marggrabowa]] in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today the Catholic residents of Niedźwiedzken and Niedźwiedzken (osada) belong to the parish church of Wieliczki in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living here orientate themselves towards the churches in Ełk and Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
