In the northeast of the village is the formerly so-called soldiers mountain , in the east of the Jezioro Dybowskie (Dybower See or Diebauer See) .

history

The old church village, once called Roßinsken , was founded in 1471. After 1540 the place was called Roschinsken , then it was called Groß Rosinsko until 1938 .

On April 8, 1874, Groß Rosinsko became an administrative village and gave its name to the administrative district of Rosinsko.

In 1910 there were 561 inhabitants registered in Groß Rosinsko. Their number decreased to 538 by 1933 and was still 496 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß Rosinsko belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gross Rosinsko, 360 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons with the intention of giving up foreign-sounding place names, Groß Rosinsko was renamed "Großrosen" on June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938.

As a result of the war, the village and southern East Prussia became part of Poland in 1945 , and since then it has borne the Polish form of the name “Rożyńsk Wielki”. Until 1954, the place was the seat of Gmina Różyńsk Wielki. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish: Sołectwo) and a locality within the rural community Prostki , now in the powiat Ełcki , until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Church building

A wooden church from the 16th century was demolished in 1894. A neo-Gothic brick church with a tower in front was built on a hill by the brook from 1889 to 1892 . The three-winged altar from 1662 is now in the Skansen open-air museum in Olsztynek (Hohenstein) in the central village church. The church in Groß Rosinsko was a Protestant church for over 400 years . After the war it was given to the Roman Catholic Church , which now uses it as a parish church dedicated to St. Stephen .

Parish

The Rosinsko parish already existed in the pre-Reformation period, but Lutheran services were held here as early as the mid-16th century . Initially, the Protestant parish was a subsidiary of Drygallen (1938 to 1945: Drigelsdorf, Polish: Drygały). Until 1945, the then independent parish with its 2,953 parish members (1926) belonged to the Johannisburg church district in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholic church members were parish in the church in Lyck in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, Rożyńsk Wielki has a predominantly Catholic population. The former Protestant church is now their parish church. She belongs to the deanery Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938 to 1945 Gehlenburg) in the diocese of Ełk of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here now belong to the parish of Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938 to 1945 Gehlenburg) , a branch of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
