Piętki [ˈpjɛntki] ( German Pientken , 1926-1945 Blumental ) is a village in the northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), belonging to the municipality of Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen ).
geography
The village is located 1.5 kilometers northwest of Kalinowo on a side road leading to Iwaśki (Iwaschken , Hansbruch from 1938 to 1945 ) and Dorsze (Dorschen) .
Place name
The origin of the Masurian place name is not clearly established. The German translation from Masurian means something like "the heel ".
history
The small village of Pientken was founded in 1539. Today it includes the formerly independent communities of Pientken and Gut Trentowsken.
The pastor of Kallinowen , who is also responsible for Pientken , Bernhard Rostock (1706–1759), brought religious refugees from Salzburg to the region, which was badly affected by the plague epidemics , in 1756 and settled them on his estate in Trentowsken.
On May 27, 1874, as part of a Prussian community reform, a new district of Kallinowen (1938 to 1945 district of Dreimühlen , Kalinowo in Polish ) was formed in the district of Lyck , which includes the communities of Alt Czymochen , Dorschen , Gingen , Iwaschken , Kallinowen , Kokosken , Kowahlen (District of Lyck), Maaschen , Marczynowen , Pientken and Trentowsken.
On December 1, 1910, 175 inhabitants were counted in Pientken.
On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Pientken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Pientken, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
When the village was renamed in 1926, the former Gut Trentowsken was incorporated into Gut Blumental .
In 1939 Blumental (Pientken) had 144 inhabitants.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Blumental (Pientken) belonging to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) fell to Poland. The resident German population, if they had not fled, was largely expelled or resettled after 1945 and, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland, in particular from the Raczki region in Podlachia . The place Blumental was renamed in the Polish spelling of the historical place name Pientken in "Piętki".
After 1945, Piętki consisted of two again administratively separate parts, then almost the same name, the former village of Pientken, only referred to as Piętki , and the former Gut Trentowsken, for a short time Trętowskie , then as Piętki PGR with the headquarters of the Agricultural Production Cooperative (PGR). The PGR no longer exists. The administrative separation has recently been lifted.
From 1975 to 1998 Piętki belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Kalinowo association .
On the outskirts of the village there are still remains of a former German cemetery.
Religions
Until 1945 Pientken was in the Evangelical Church of Kallinowen (1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen , Polish: Kalinowo ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Andreas in Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the then Diocese of Warmia as a parish.
Today, on the Catholic side, Piętki belongs to the parish in Kalinowo in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents align themselves with the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz ( German Johannisburg ) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
