Geographical location
Oterki is located in the northern center of the voivodship, 14 kilometers southwest of the former district town Reszel (Rößel) and 42 kilometers northeast of today's district town Olsztyn (Allenstein) .
history
The Gutsort Klein Ottern came in 1874 to the newly established administrative district Kabienen ( Polish : Kabiny ) in the district of Rößel in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The responsible registry office was also the one in Kabienen until 1905, but then until 1945 that in Groß Köllen ( Kolno in Polish ). In 1820 there were 68 inhabitants registered in Klein Ottern, in 1855 there were 83, as many in 1905, and finally 76 in 1910.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Klein Ottern belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Klein Ottern, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not cast any votes.
On September 30, 1928, the Klein Ottern manor district gave up its independence and was incorporated into Groß Ottern ( Otry in Polish ). On the same date, the community of Groß Ottern gave up the addition in their name and from then on only called themselves “Ottern”.
When all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Klein Ottern as a district of Ottern was also affected. The former Klein Ottern was given the Polish name Oterki. Today it is a place within the rural municipality of Kolno, until 1998 part of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
Gut little otters
The former Klein Ottern manor house is now privately owned. It dates from the first half of the 19th century. The associated estate comprised an agricultural area of 350 hectares in the 1920s. At that time it was owned by the Skowronski family . The old conception of the estate park with beech avenue and walking paths as well as a single oak tree on an artificially raised hill is still recognizable

Until 1945 Klein Ottern was parish in the Protestant Church of Warpuhnen ( Polish Warpuny ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church in Groß Köllen (Polish Kolno ) in what was then the Diocese of Warmia . Today there is still a reference to Warpuny on the Protestant side, with the church now being looked after by the parish of Sorkwity ( Sorquitten in German ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland . For the Catholic church members the church in Kolno is still the center of worship, now in the Archdiocese of Warmia within the Polish Catholic Church .
