Sędki [ˈsɛntki] ( German  Sentken ) is a village belonging to Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , district Ełk .

geography

The village in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship is located eight kilometers northeast of the district town of Ełk ( German  Lyck ) and lies on the north bank of the Great Selmentsee ( Polish Jezioro Selmęt Wielki ) at the confluence of the Lega river into the lake.

history

In 1472 Sentken was founded as a plowing village (also called Oratzen ) starting from Lyck by internal migration . "To plow the Vorwerk fields, hay-and the introduction of hay for the duties that are like a prescription from 1565 standing Vorwerk to pay and help in all buildings in the Barbican, to drive a fixed amount of wood and finally deliver Naturalabgaben" .

On May 27, 1874, after a Prussian municipal reform, the rural communities of Buczken , Groß Mrosen , Koszycken , Leegen , Seliggen , Sentken, Sordachen and Zielassen as well as the manor districts of Klein Mrosen , Leegen and Regelitzen became the district of Selment. The head of office initially has his seat in Klein Mrosen .

In January 1908 there was a territorial restructuring of the district of Selment, which now includes the rural communities Groß Mrosen , Koszycken , Leegen , Seliggen , Sentken, Sordachen and Zielasen as well as the manor districts of Leegen, Lyck, Lycker Forst (in part) and after the reorganization of Buczken Rules sitting includes.

In 1910 Sentken had 259 residents. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sentken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Sentken, 140 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

In November 1928 was Gutsbezirk Big Sell Ment Lake incorporated into the rural community Sentken. In January 1929 the rural communities of Leegen and Sentken, Ropehlen and the manor districts of Leegen and Lycker Forst (partially) merged to form the new rural community of Sentken. Ropehlen (1910: 135 inhabitants), which until then belonged to the neighboring district of Pissanitzen , is renamed "Kleinsentken" as a locality of the rural community Sentken.

In September 1931, the district of Selment comprised the communities Kozycken (from 1935 Selmenthöhe ), the merged of Groß Mrosen and Klein Mrosen Mrossen (from 1938 Schönhorst ), Seliggen, Sentken, Sordachen (from 1938 Sorden ), Sybba (from 1938 Walden ) and Zielasen (from 1938 Zielhausen ).

In 1933 Sentken had 523 inhabitants due to the enlargement of the community. On November 15, 1938, the Selment district was renamed "Schönhorst District (Ostpr.)". In 1939 Sentken only had 483 residents.

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Sentken, which belonged to East Prussia in the Lyck district , and which had burned down in the fighting except for two farms, fell to Poland .

The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland. The place was renamed "Sędki".

Kleinsentken (until 1929 Ropehlen , Polish Ropele , no longer exists today) was completely incorporated into the village of Sędki in the following years.

From 1975 to 1998 Sędki belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship and joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 .
