Piasutno ( German  Piassutten , 1938 to 1945 Seenwalde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Świętajno (rural community Schwentainen , 1938 to 1945 Altkirchen (Eastern Pr.) ) In the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Piasutno is located on the south bank of the Piassutter Lake (also: Dorfsee, Polish Jezioro Piasutno ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 15 kilometers east of the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ).

history

Piassutten was founded in 1678 by the Great Elector . On March 30, 1678 Schulze von Marxöwen (1938 to 1945 Markshöfen , in Polish : Marksewo ) Friedrich Speck received "a desolate burnt-out place where the wood partly froze to death, partly processed by the booths, to create a casket village". In 1788 the assets of the then 50 casket owners were described as "bad". This condition could only be remedied after more than a hundred years.

The municipality of Piassutten, to which the Wyrog (1938 to 1945 Neuseenwalde , Polish: Wyrok ), Bergfelde and Lonk (1938 to 1945 Kleinseenwalde , Polish: Łęg ) mines were added, was incorporated into the newly established Schwentainen District ( Świętajno in Polish ) in 1874 , which - renamed the "Amt district Altkirchen (Ostpr.)" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

988 inhabitants were registered in Piassutten in 1910, there were 949 in 1933. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on the continued state membership in East Prussia (and thus approved Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Piassutten, 757 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland had one vote.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Piassutten was renamed "Seenwalde" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population was 911 in 1939.

When all of southern East Prussia was surrendered to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Sewalde was also affected. The village received the Polish name form "Piasutno" and is today - with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) - a village in the Gmina Świętajno (Schwentainen , 1938 to 1945 Altkirchen (Eastern Pr.) ) In the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . In the village, which had a total of 407 inhabitants in 2011, there are still many wooden houses from the first half of the 20th century.

church

Until 1945 Piassutten resp. Seenwalde in the Evangelical Church of Klein Jerutten in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of Ortelsburg in the Diocese of Warmia . Today, on the Catholic side, Piasutno belongs to the St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Jerutki in the Archdiocese of Warmia . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the Church of Szczytno in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

Lessons were given in a wooden building in 1880. In 1894 a new brick building, which is still preserved today, was erected - a very modern three-storey building for the time. There were three teaching posts.

In 1930 Poles set up a minority school in the Lonk dismantling, in which Jerzy Lanc taught as a teacher from 1931. Tensions arose between Germans and Poles, which, although the government intervened in Allenstein, did not prevent the - perhaps even violent - death of Jerzy Lanc. He was found dead in his apartment on March 1, 1932. In 2019 a commemorative plaque was attached to the former school building in Lonk ( Łęg in Polish ).

traffic

Piasutno is located on a side street that connects Świętajno (Powiat Szczycieński) with Powałczyn (Powalczin , 1938 to 1945 Schönhöhe ) and also Marksewo (Marxöwen , 1938 to 1945 Markshöfen) on state road 58 . From the neighboring town of Kobiel (Kobiel , 1938 to 1945 Seeblick) a country road leads to Piasutno.
