Geographical location

Rogówko is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on Jezioro Błotne (Rogowkener See , Roggenfelder See) , eleven kilometers northwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , Treuburg from 1928 to 1945 ) .

history

In 1581 the small village, called Rogowa before 1770, was founded. After 1777 it bore the name form Rokowken , then to 1938 Rogowken .

Between 1874 and 1945 the place was part of the administrative district of Schareyken ( Polish: Szarejki ), which - renamed in 1938 to "District of Schareiken" - to the district of Oletzko - from 1933 to 1945 called "District of Treuburg" - belonged to the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Rogowken had 154 inhabitants. Their number decreased to 148 by 1933 and was still 133 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rogowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Rogowken, 107 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names, Rogowken was renamed "Roggenfelde (Ostpr.)" On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938. In 1945 the village was in consequence of the war with the southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish name "Rogówko". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and a place in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

The majority of the Protestant residents of Rogowkens resp. Roggenfeldes were parish before 1945 in the parish of the church in Schareyken (1938 to 1945: Schareiken, Polish Szarejki ) and was in the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today the Protestant church members Rogówken belong to the parish in Gołdap (Goldap) , a branch parish of the church in Suwałki in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Before 1945 the Catholic church members were oriented towards Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg, Polish Olecko ) in the Diocese of Warmia , today they belong to the newly established parish of Szarejki . It is assigned to one of the two deaneries in Olecko in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Rogówko is located west of the Polish national road DK 65 (formerly German Reichsstraße 132 ) and can be reached via a land route that leads to Szarejki (Schareyken , 1938 to 1945 Schareiken) . In town there is a country road that comes from the south of Stożne (Stoosznen , 1938 to 1945 Stosnau) and also leads to Szarejki.

The Ełk – Tschernjachowsk (Lyck – Insterburg) railway line , which has been closed to passenger traffic since 1993, runs on the eastern edge of the town . The next train station up to then was Stożne .
