Skowrony ( German Schmauch ) is a village in the rural community Godkowo ( Göttchendorf ) in the Powiat Elbląski ( Elbinger Kreis ) of the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

Schmauch east of Prussian Holland , southeast of the city of Elbing and southwest of Wormditt on a map from 1910.

The village is located in the historical region of East Prussia , about 33 kilometers east of Elbing and 51 kilometers northwest of Allenstein .

history

The church in the old Prussian parish village of Schmauch was still under the patronage of the Dukes of Prussia around 1727. Up until 1804, the Schmauch farmers were obliged to do manual and tensioning services on the neighboring Gut Behlenhof.

The parish of the village covered an area of 4,220 acres around 1858 , and there were 81 houses on it.

Until 1945 Schmauch belonged to the district of Prussian Holland in the administrative district of Königsberg in the province of East Prussia of the German Empire .

Towards the end of World War II , the region was occupied by the Red Army in January 1945 . In the summer of 1945, the Soviet occupation forces placed the district together with the southern half of East Prussia and all of West Prussia under Polish administration. The Poles introduced the place name Skowrony for Schmauch . Unless the German villagers had fled, they were subsequently expelled from Schmauch by the local Polish administrative authorities .
