Geographical location
Otry is located in the northern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, twelve kilometers southwest of the former district town Reszel (Rößel) and 43 kilometers northeast of today's district town Olsztyn (Allenstein) .
history
The small village, known as Groß Ottern until 1928 , originally consisted of several small farms. In 1874 it was in the newly built office district cabins (Polish Kabiny incorporated) that the county Rößel in the administrative district of Kaliningrad in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. The responsible registry office was in Kabienen from 1874 to 1905 , but it was then moved to Groß Köllen ( Kolno in Polish ).
In 1820 Groß Ottern had 74, in 1885 180, 1905 only 135 and 1910 140 inhabitants.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß 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 Groß Ottern, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.
On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Klein Ottern (Polish : Oterki ) was incorporated into the rural community of Groß Ottern, which since then until 1945 has been known as "Ottern" (without any additions).
As a result of the war, (Groß) Ottern was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Polish form of the name “Otry”. It is now linking rural community Kolno (United Köllen) in Olsztyn County (Kreis Allenstein ) until 1998, the Olsztyn province , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.
church
Until 1945 (Groß) Ottern was parish in the Protestant Church of Warpuhnen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church in Groß Köllen in what was then the diocese of Warmia .
Today, Otry continues to belong to the Warpuny Church on the Protestant side , which is now looked after by the Sorkwity parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland . On the Catholic side, there is still a connection to the parish in Kolno , which is now assigned to the Archdiocese of Warmia in the Polish Catholic Church .
