Otole ( German  Ottilienhof ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Pasym (urban and rural community Passenheim ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Otole is located on the northeast bank of the Großer Kalbenseess ( Polish Jezioro Kalwa ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 16 kilometers northwest of the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ).

The small former estate Ottilienhof was founded in 1853 and was a residential area of the town of Passenheim ( Pasym in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg until 1945 .

In 1945 the city came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Otole". As a hamlet ( Osada in Polish ) it is now a village within the urban and rural community Pasym (Passenheim) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Ottilienhof was ecclesiastically aligned with the town of Passenheim until 1945 - with the Protestant church there as well as with the Roman Catholic parish. The connection to the city exists to this day, both on the Catholic side and on the part of the Protestant Church .

Ottilienhof can be reached on a side road that branches off from Landesstraße 53 (former German Reichsstraße 134 ) at Pasym (Passenheim) and leads to Siedliska (Freythen , 1938 to 1945 Freithen) . There is a connection to rail traffic via the train station in Pasym.
