Geographical location

Piece is located on the southern tip of the Great Schobensee ( Polish Jezioro Sasek Wielki ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , seven kilometers northwest of the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ).

history

The small village called Ulonsk Theer-Ofen around 1785 and Ulonsk Ofen after 1820 originally consisted of several small farms and farmsteads. The localities Ulonsk (1938 to 1945 Kleinrehbruch , Polish Ulążki ) and Davidshof , Forst ( Jęcznik ) were incorporated. After the founding festival on March 21, 1806, "five tea distillers at the Ulonsk tea-making establishment were transferred their bushel spaces, which they had been using for rent ... to establish a regular casket village ."

In 1874 Ulonskofen came to the newly established administrative district Corpellen (Polish : Korpele ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Ulonskofen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Ulonskofen, 44 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not.

Ulonskofen counted 57 inhabitants in 1910. By 1933 their number rose to 181. On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938 Ulonskofen was renamed "Schobendorf" for political and ideological reasons to defend against seemingly foreign place names. In 1939 there were 252 residents registered in the village.

In war-induced Pushed village in 1945 came with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Piece". Today the small place belongs to the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945 Ulonskofen / Schobendorf was parish in the Protestant Church of Ortelsburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of Ortelsburg in what was then the Diocese of Warmia . Today Piece belongs on the Catholic side to Grom (Grammen) in the current Archdiocese of Warmia and on the Protestant side to the Szczytno Church in the Masurian Diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
