The St. Maria Magdalena Church in Rozogi ( German Friedrichshof ) is a neo-Gothic building from the last quarter of the 19th century. Until 1977 it was the Protestant parish church for the East Prussian parish Friedrichshof and is today the church of the Roman Catholic parish Rozogi in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Rozogi is located in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the national roads DK 53 and DK 59 . The church is in the center of the village, west of the main road towards Myszyniec .
Church building
Four years after the establishment of Friedrichhowen , a Protestant parish was founded here in 1649 . Initially, a shed was used for worship. In 1665 a church was built, but it burned down in 1700.
In the same year a new half-timbered church with a tower was built. The altar and pulpit were carved , the bells were cast in 1706 and 1798. In 1842 the church received an organ , which was given to the church in Kurken (now Kurki in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Osterode in 1844 . The half-timbered church had to be relocated in 1869 and the tower demolished due to its dilapidation.
The foundation stone for the construction of the third Friedrichshofer church was laid on September 10, 1882. After three years of construction, it was inaugurated on December 15, 1885 by the East Prussian superintendent Gustav Carus and the Ortelsburg superintendent Karl August Bercio . This church, which still exists today, is a yellow brick building with a five-sided apse . The Gothic-style building has a slender tower for a bell consisting of three bells. The nave and the tower are covered with slate . In the apse, which is covered with a semicircular brick vault, there are stained glass windows that form the background for the baroque altar. This altar with the main picture of the crucifixion of Christ was a gift from the Friedrichshof priest Heinrich Surminski . It was later given to the church in Fürstenwalde (Polish: Księży Lasek ), where Surminski had previously served. The Friedrichshof church received a new altar with the depiction of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the main picture. Three brass-colored chandeliers that adorned the interior of the church were donated by two families from the parish.
Until 1977 the house of God was owned by the Protestant Church. It was then given to the Roman Catholic community that formed after the war in what is now called Rozogi. The church was renovated and its furnishings adapted to the changed liturgical use. She now bears the name of Maria Magdalena .

Church history
At the time the village of Friedrichowen was founded , there were only churches in the northern part of the Ortelsburg office. The evangelical residents in the southern part had to travel long distances to the churches in Aweyden (Polish: Nawiady ), Ortelsburg (Szczytno) , Rheinswein (Rańsk) and Willenberg (Wielbark) . In 1649 the Great Elector gave the order to build a church for the people in the southern Ortelsburg area in Friedrichowen and to appoint a pastor. The spatial expansion of the parish was immense in the early years and was only reduced in the course of the years by the establishment of further parishes, although the number of parish members kept increasing: in 1817 the parish Friedrichshof had 4932, in 1824 it had 6419 people, and the number in years 1895 brought in 9,612 Protestant, 937 Catholic, 147 Baptist and 43 Jewish inhabitants.
A few years after the founding of the Protestant parish Friedrichshof, a first pastor was appointed. At that time the parish was under the inspection of Rastenburg ( Kętrzyn in Polish ). Additional assistant preachers were appointed as early as 1864, and from 1923 a further pastor's office was established.
The services were held in German and Polish until the end of the 19th century. In 1925 the parish of Friedrichshof had 7,200 parishioners who lived in what is still an extensive area with more than twenty places. Until 1945 the church Friedrichshof belonged to the superintendent district Ortelsburg in the church district of the same name in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union .
The war-related flight and expulsion of the local population in the years 1945 to 1950 was a bloodletting for the Protestant community. There were very few church members left. Polish citizens who moved in were almost all of the Catholic denomination and had been claiming the previously evangelical church since 1977. The evangelical inhabitants of the village now called "Rozogi" orient themselves towards the parish in Szczytno in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
Parish places

Roman Catholic
Parish
Only a few Catholics lived in the southern region of the Ortelsburg office when a Protestant church was founded in Friedrichshof. They were expected to go a long way when they went to church on Sundays: to Ostrołęka or Myszyniec . So people often met for church services and mass celebrations in private rooms in different villages. Real remedy was only found in 1869, when a Catholic church was built in Liebenberg (Polish: clone ). Until 1945, Liebenberg was incorporated into the dean's office Masuria I (seat: Angerburg , Polish : Węgorzewo ) in what was then the Diocese of Warmia .
After 1945 there was a strong influx of Polish citizens, mostly Roman Catholic, now also to Rozogi . They also used the Protestant church for their services and in 1977 they became the owners of the church building. On June 29, 1982, a separate parish was established here, which - like the parish in Klon - is now assigned to the Rozogi deanery, which is part of the current Archdiocese of Warmia .
