Popowo Salęckie [ pɔˈpɔvɔ saˈlɛnt͡skʲɛ ] ( German  Pfaffendorf ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Mrągowo ( rural community Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Popowo Salęckie is located on the south bank of the Salent Lake ( Jezioro Salęt in Polish ) in the heart of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , five kilometers northeast of the district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).  

history

the small village called Popowen before 1785 and Poppowen around 1785 was founded in 1566 when Duke Albrecht prescribed 55 hooves for Pfaffendorf according to Kulmer law . In 1657 the village was completely destroyed in a Tatar invasion and 77 residents were killed.

Between 1874 and 1945 Pfaffendorf was incorporated into the Seehesten district ( Polish: Szestno ), 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 Pfaffendorf, 160 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, in 1945 all of southern East Prussia, including Pfaffendorf, was transferred to Poland . The place received the Polish form of the name "Popowo Salęckie". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn (Allenstein) Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
