Połom ( German  Polommen , 1938 to 1945 Herzogsmühle ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural municipality Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Połom is located in the eastern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, 17 kilometers southwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

Pohlom , founded in 1540, consisted of a large estate and a forestry before 1945. Before 1785 the place was called Pohlomy , then until 1938 Polommen . Before 1908 was Gutsbezirk Polommen in the District Schwentainen ( Polish Świętajno ) incorporated. The population was 238 in 1910.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Polommen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Polommen, 128 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland had one vote.

On September 30, 1928, the Lycker Forst estate (Försterei Polommen and Theerbude ) and the Polommen estate merged with the Röbel estate (in Polish Kije), previously the Wessolowen district, to form the new rural municipality of Polommen. The population rose to 405 by 1933 and was 376 in 1939.

On June 3, 1938, Polommen was renamed "Herzogsmühle" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names. As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Połom”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) and a village within the Świętajno (Schwentainen) rural community in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Polommen was parish in the Evangelical Church of Schwentainen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

The nearest Protestant church today is Wydminy (Wydminy) , a filial community of the parish Giżycko (Giżycko) in the Diocese Mazury the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland . On the Catholic side, Połom belongs to the parish church Świętajno in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

Połom can be reached from the voivodeship road DW 655 via Dunajek (Duneyken , 1938 to 1945 Duneiken) and Wronki (Wronken , 1938 to 1945 Fronicken) . Via Straduny (Stradaunen) there is a connection to the Polish state road DK 65 (former German Reichsstraße 132 ).
