Geographical location

Pierwój is located on the north bank of the Pierwoy Lake ( Jezioro Pierwój in Polish ) in the middle of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 15 kilometers southwest of the former district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ) and 42 kilometers northeast of today's district metropolis Olsztyn (Allenstein) .  

history

Local history

The small former manor village, called Pierwoyen before 1785, was mentioned in 1785 as "a noble pledge with 4 fireplaces". In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established Ribben district ( Rybno in Polish ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Pierwoy, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes. On September 30, 1928 Pierwoy lost its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring town of Groß Kamionken (1929 to 1945 Großsteinfelde , Polish: Kamionka Wielka , no longer existing).

When all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Pierwoy was also affected. It was given the Polish form of the name "Pierwoj", which was corrected to "Pierwój" in 2010. The place is today as "część wsi" closely interwoven with the neighboring village of Kamionka ( German  Steinhof ). Both together belong as localities in the network of the urban and rural community Biskupiec (Bishop's Castle) in Powiat Olsztyński ( Olsztyn district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

The Protestant and Catholic churches in Pierwoy were noticeably different in size: at the census on December 1, 1905, 40 of the 41 residents were Protestant and only one resident Catholic.

Until 1945 Pierwoy was parish in the Protestant Church of Sorquitten in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and until 1894 in the Catholic parish of Bischofsburg , from 1894 to 1945 in the parish of Kobulten in the then diocese of Warmia .

Pierwój also belongs to the two parishes today: to the Protestant parish Sorkwity , today located in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , and to the Catholic parish Kobułty , which now belongs to the Archdiocese of Warmia within the Polish Catholic Church , which was newly formed in 1992 .
