Popowa Wola ( German  Pfaffendorf ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to Gmina Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Popowa Wola is located in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 23 kilometers north of the district town of Szczytno ( Ortelsburg in German  ).

history

The oldest news about Pfaffendorf comes from the year 1468. At that time the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Heinrich Reuss von Plauen assigned the brothers Friedrich , Günther and Balthasar Küchmeister von Sternberg 271.5 Hufen land, including the Pfaffendorf estate. It remained in the possession of the Küchmeister family until the 17th century. After that it found different owners.

Pfaffendorf - divided into "rural community" and "manor district" - was moved to the newly established Przytullen ( Polish: Przytuły ) district in 1874 , which - renamed "Steinhöhe District" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg .

In 1910 Pfaffendorf had 286 inhabitants, of which 213 belonged to the village and 73 to the estate. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Pfaffendorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Dof and Gut Pfaffendorf, 222 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland received four votes.

On September 30, 1928, the Pfaffendorf manor district was incorporated into the Pfaffendorf rural community. In 1933 there were 305 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 307.

As a result of the war, Pfaffendorf was transferred to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Popowa Wola”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011, 282 residents were registered in Popowa Wola.

Owner episode

The Küchmeister von Sternberg family owned the Pfaffendorf estate until the 17th century . In 1645 Hans Günther Küchmeister sold his share (38½ hooves) to Albrecht von Habicht . In 1713 the estate was divided between Stach von Goltzheim and the Taubenheim family . In 1887 Eduard (II) Michael Rogalla von Bieberstein became the new owner as "Lord of Talten and Pfaffendorf". He sold the Pfaffendorfer Gut in 1895 to his cousin Willebald Rogalla von Bieberstein , after which it passed to his daughter Margarethe , who kept it until 1945.

Estate

Of the manor complex - the estate had a land area of ​​375 hectares - only the manor house has survived today, it was built in the second half of the 19th century and is structurally well preserved. The farm buildings were considerably rebuilt, only the old stables made of field stone and bricks remained in their original form.

Johann Larass once laid out the manor park. Only the northern part of it still exists.

church

Until 1945 Pfaffendorf was parish on both the Protestant and Catholic sides to Kobulten ( Polish : Kobułty ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union or in the Diocese of Warmia .

The reference to Kobułty - now located in the Archdiocese of Warmia - no longer exists for Catholics today. The parish in Kobułty is responsible for them. In Rańsk (Rheinswein) , however, the church stands for the Protestants - now part of the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

The elementary school founded in the age of Frederick the Great received a new building in 1920.
