Geographical location

Romany is located in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in the Dameraubergen , the highest point of which is 210 meters west of the village. Inside the village there is a small pond and gives the place an almost picturesque sight. To the southwest of the village lies the Rohmaner See ( Jezioro Romanek in Polish ), which the inhabitants used to simply call "Romanek". The district town of Szczytno ( German Ortelsburg ) is five kilometers to the south.  

history

Rohmanen was one of the oldest settlements in the Ortelsburg region. On November 11, 1399, Conrad Graf von Kyburg assigned the faithful Morawitz lands, which the latter should occupy with farmers. In 1425 there were already eight farmers. In 1717, however, the residents' financial circumstances were described as poor, in fact, they would never have been good. In the 1850s, however, a decisive improvement can be noted.

Between 1874 and 1945 Rohmanen was in the District Schöndamerau ( Polish Trelkowo ) incorporated, which the East Prussian district Szczytno belonged. The population of Rohmanen was 673 in 1910. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rohmanen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or to join Poland from. In Rohmanen, 408 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

The foundation of the Rohmanen drainage cooperative in 1921 was of great importance. Now even all of the lower-lying meadow areas could be cultivated, and the yields increased. In 1925 the village was connected to the electricity grid.

In 1933 Rohmanen had 609 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 572.

Rohmanen was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war, together with the whole of southern East Prussia , and was given the Polish form of name "Romany". Today the village with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) is a place in the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . The number of villagers in 2011 was 484.

church

On the church side, Rohmanen was oriented towards Ortelsburg until 1945 : to the local Protestant church in the church province of East Prussia, the church of the Old Prussian Union and to the Roman Catholic church of the district town - located in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Romany belongs to the Catholic Church in Trelkowo (Groß Schöndamerau) in what is now the Archdiocese of Warmia , and also to the Protestant parish of Szczytno , now part of the Masurian Diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
