Geographical location
Skomętno Wielkie is located north of the Skomentner See (1938 to 1945 Skomantener See , also Skomant-See , Polish Jezioro Skomętno ). The village is located three kilometers southwest of the village of Kalinowo on state road 16 .
Place name
The place name Skomenten is derived from the Sudauer prince Skomand . At the neighboring Skomantsee (also Skomantener See) there was a castle of the Baltic Sudauer until the 13th century , of which the remains of a Prussian ring wall are still preserved.
history
The village of Skomentnen was founded in 1473 under the locator Peter Jeckeln, who was granted land with 30 hooves at this point .
In 1656 the Tatars, allied with Poland, invaded large parts of Masuria and Skomentnen, with large parts of the village being destroyed.
With the Prussian territorial reform of 1874, Skomentnen belonged administratively as a rural community to the district of Gollupken (from 1938: district "Lübeckfelde") in the district of Lyck .
In 1893, Groß was combined with the neighboring Klein Skomentnen to form a municipality of Skomentnen.
On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Skomentnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Skomentnen, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
In 1929 the Skomentnen farmer Jeziorski came across a copper kettle while digging, which was under a heavy capstone. The container contained silver jewelry from the time of the Sudauer - a necklace, two arm spirals and two horseshoe brooches, which were attributed to a Sudauer duchess who was buried here.
The find of Skomentnen with a silver weight of 675 grams was well known in the following time and was exhibited in the Prussia Museum in Königsberg . The whereabouts after 1945 are unclear.
Skomentnen was renamed in the course of the increasing Germanization of place names of Masurian, Polish or Lithuanian origin on July 16, 1938 in "Skomanten".
In 1933 there are 325 inhabitants in Skomentnen, in 1939 there were only 308 inhabitants.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Skomanten , which belonged to the German Empire ( East Prussia ) , 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, by new citizens from other parts of Poland. The place was renamed Skomętno. Before that, the Polish wielkie was set for large , which means that the place is actually translated as it was before 1893 as Groß Skomentnen.
From 1975 to 1998 Skomętno Wielkie belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then in 1999 it joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a town in the Gmina Kalinowo .

Skomanten in the Protestant Church Kalli Owen (1938-1945 Dreimühlen , Polish Kalinowo ) in the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Prussian Union of churches and the Roman Catholic Church of St. Andrew in Prawdzisken (1934-1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the then Diocese of Warmia eingepfarrt .
Today, on the Catholic side, Skomętno Wielkie belongs to the parish in Kalinowo in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz ( German Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
