Puchówka ( German  Puchowken , 1929 to 1945 Wiesenfelde ) is a village in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community of Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in the powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Puchówka is located in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 14 kilometers southeast of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) .

history

In 1565 the then Rostey Wolli FSw , before 1785 Rosteckwolly and until 1929 Puchowken , was founded. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established district of Nordenthal ( Polish: Nory ), which - when the spelling of the place name was changed to "Nordental" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and to the district of Oletzko (1933 to 1945: district of Treuburg) in the administrative district Gumbinnen belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the place had 262 inhabitants.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Puchowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Puchowken, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 15, 1929, Puchowken was renamed "Wiesenfelde". The number of inhabitants was 229 in 1933 and 203 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Puchówka”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), before 1998 the Suwałki voivodeship , since then the voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .

Until 1945, Puchowken was parish in the Protestant Church of Wielitzken in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of Marggrabowa (Treuburg) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, on the Catholic side, Puchówka belongs to the parish Wieliczki in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the churches in Ełk (Lyck) and Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
