Romanowo ( German Romanowen , 1938-1945 Heldenfelde ) is a village in the northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), belonging to the municipality of Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen ).
Geographical location
The village is located seven kilometers south of the town of Kalinowo as the crow flies on a side road leading from Sędki (Sentken) to Borzymy (Borszymmen , 1936 to 1938 Borschymmen , 1938 to 1945 Borschimmen) . It is located north of the Wachteldorfer See ( Jezioro Przepiórka in Polish ).
Place name
The renaming name "Heldenfelde" was chosen because of a German military cemetery on site, which still exists today. During the First World War there was fierce fighting in the region.
history
The place Romanowen was founded in 1513. Three hooves went to Messrs. Nicolai and Jacob for administration. Johann Fleischer, Stephan Zibulka and Jan Zibulka then appear as other owners.
The name Romanowen is of Prussian origin and refers to a sanctuary of the Baltic tribe that once lived here , because pagan services were held in the wild, in forests and on pagans ( roms, rams: quiet, calm, devout).
In 1656 the Tatars, allied with Poland, invaded large parts of Masuria, with Romanovs being almost completely destroyed.
On May 27, 1874, as part of a Prussian community reform, a new district of Dluggen ( Długie in Polish ) was formed, which included the communities of Burnien, Dluggen , Dlugoniedzialen, Duttken , Gronsken , Kolleschnicken , Krzysewen , Prawdzisken and Romanowen as well as the Imionken manor district.
On June 24, 1908, through the creation of larger territorial units, the district of Dluggen was dissolved, the rural communities of Burnien, Dluggen, Kolleschnicken, Krzysewen and Prawdzisken came to the district of Kallinowen, while the rural communities of Duttken, Gronsken and Romanowen and the manor district of Imionken became assigned to the district of Borszymmen (Polish Borzymy ).
In 1910 Romanowen had 319 inhabitants.
In October 1913, Romanowen was connected to the district town of Lyck by a stop on the line of the Lycker Kleinbahnen , which was further extended in the direction of Kallinowen in 1915.
After the First World War , a military cemetery that still exists today was built in Romanowen .
Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Romanowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Romanowen 240 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
On September 30, 1928 Gut Romotten (Polish Romoty ) and Gut Marienhof ( Ryczywół ) were incorporated into Romanowen.
In 1931 the district of Borszymmen then included the rural communities of Borszymmen , Duttken , Geigenau , Gronsken , Jendreyken , Lyssewen , Romanowen, Stosznen and Wachteldorf (formerly Przepiorken).
In 1933 Romanowen had 411 inhabitants.
Romanowen was renamed Heldenfelde on July 16, 1938 in the course of the massive Germanization of place names of Masurian, Polish or Lithuanian origin, based on the fact that, as the name Romanowen suggests, a pagan Prussian sanctuary was located here.
In 1939 Heldenfelde (Romanowen) only had 377 residents.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Heldenfelde , which belonged to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) and was severely damaged by the effects of the war, fell to Poland. The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland in addition to the traditional Masurian minority. The place was renamed "Romanowo".
From 1975 to 1998 Romanowo belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village within the Gmina Kalinowo group .
church
Until 1945 Romanowen resp. Heldenfelde parish in the Protestant church Borszymmen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the Diocese of Warmia .
Today Romanowo belongs to the catholic parish in Pisanica (Pissanitzen , 1926 to 1945 Ebenfelde) in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant church members stick to the parish in the town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
