Romoty ( German Romotten ) is a community Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen) counting village in northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ).
Geographical location
The village is located eight kilometers as the crow flies south of the town of Kalinowo on a road leading from Romanowo (Romanowen , 1938 to 1945 Heldenfelde) or Borzymy (Borszymmen , 1936 to 1938 Borschymmen , 1938 to 1945 Borschimmen) to Romoty. It is located on the west bank of Lake Bialla (1938 to 1945 Engensee , Jezioro Białe in Polish ).
history
The place Romotten was built around 1500. As a manor it belonged early to the possession of the knightly noble family Gutowski from the coat of arms Slepowron (de Slepowron, von Slepowron, von Gutowski) from northern Mazovia .
The name Romotten is of Prussian origin and refers to a sanctuary of the Baltic tribe that once resided 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 Romotten being almost completely destroyed. In the report of the Lyck governor von Auer it says about the damage balance:
"14 hooves, all 7 farms burned, everything is sown over winter, all cattle and horses driven away, 14 people dragged away, 2 cut down. "
On May 27, 1874, as part of a Prussian community reform, a new Borczymmen district (from 1881: Borszymmen, today in Polish Borzymy ) was formed, which includes the communities Borczymmen , Jendreyken , Lissewen , Przepiorken , Skrzypken and Stosznen as well as the manor district Romotten and Seen. In 1908 the municipalities of Duttken , Gronsken and Romanowen and the Imionken manor district were reclassified from the previous Dluggen district to the Borszymmen district.
From 1877 to 1883 the head of Borczymmen was resident in Romotten with the landowner Schön.
In 1910 the Romotten manor had 60 inhabitants.
After the First World War , a military cemetery that still exists today was built south of Romotten .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Romotten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Romotten, 40 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
On September 30, 1928 Romotten was incorporated into the rural community Romanowen (1938-1945 Heldenfelde , Polish Romanowo ).
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 1939 the rural community of Heldenfelde counted 377 residents including Romotten.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Heldenfelde with Romotten , which belonged to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) and was heavily destroyed by the effects of the war, fell to Poland. The resident German population, if they had not fled, was largely expelled or resettled after 1945 and, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland. The place Romotten was renamed "Romoty" according to the Polish spelling and regained the status of an independent village community.
From 1975 to 1998 Romoty 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 place within the Gmina Kalinowo association .
church
Until 1945 Romotten was 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 in Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the Diocese of Warmia .
Today Romoty belongs to the parish church in Borzymy in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the parish in the town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
