Stacze ( German  Statzen ) is a village belonging to the municipality Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen) in northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ).

Geographical location

The village is located ten kilometers as the crow flies southwest of the village of Kalinowo at the end of a country road leading from Sypitki (Sypittken , four bridges from 1938 to 1945 ) via Kucze (Kutzen) . It lies on both sides of the Lega River , which is also referred to here as the "Malkien River", and on the northwestern bank of the Statzener See ( Jezioro Stackie in Polish ).

history

The village Statzen was founded by the award of Tangible 1482, when the commander of the Rhine Messrs Steincko Statzke, Jan Warda, Myckoleyn and Jacob total of 30 hooves land on both sides of the little river Melkin to Magdeburg law prescribed.

In 1656 the Tatars, allied with Poland, invaded large parts of Masuria and so also in Statzen, whereby the village was almost completely destroyed.

From this time it is said that the farmer Tobias Borowy and his family were attacked while working in the fields. The mother was able to her two year old son just hide in the grain while they got themselves and her husband in captivity, and for the purpose of slavery in Turkey were deported. Borowy's wife died there. Tobias Borowy performed slave labor in Turkey for 18 years, but was then able to escape and returned to Statzen with two horses and a number of souvenirs, where he was hugged by his now grown-up son. In gratitude for his rescue, the father donated a golden Turkish candlestick to the church in Pissanitzen , which was assigned to Statzen as a parish location. The following generations of the Borowys even ran the farm until 1944. The last German owner was August Borowy. His wife and child perished on the run at the end of the Second World War , August Borowy became a mine worker in the Ruhr area after being a prisoner of war .

On May 27, 1874, in the course of a Prussian community reform, a new administrative district Sawadden ( Zawady-Tworki in Polish ) was created, to which the rural communities Brodowen , Buczylowen, Cziessen , Czyntschen , Jebramken, Klein Lasken , Krzywen , Kutzen , Ossarken, Sypittken and Statzen as well as the Sawadden Manor County belonged.

On December 1, 1910, Statzen still had 323 inhabitants.

In 1908 the administrative district Sypittken (Polish: Sypitki ) comprised the rural communities of Czießen, Czynczen, Klein Lasken, Kutzen, Rundfliess (until renaming in 1907: Krzywen), Statzen and Sypittken and the manor district of Lyck, domain office (in part).

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Statzen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Statzen, 220 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

In 1931, as part of territorial changes, the district of Sypittken included the rural communities of Czynczen, Klein Lasken, Kutzen, Rundfließ, Seeheim (until renaming in 1908: Czießen), Statzen and Sypittken.

In 1933 there were 274 inhabitants in Statzen, in 1939 there were 244.

On August 1, 1944, Statzen had around 280 inhabitants. The last German mayor was Friedrich Niklaß, who held office for more than 20 years. On August 1, 1944, the trek of the German residents under his leadership began to flee from the Red Army.

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Statzen , which belonged to the German Reich ( East Prussia ), Lyck district , fell to Poland . The resident German population, unless they had fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland. The place was renamed "Stacze".

From 1975 to 1998, Stacze 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 village in the Gmina Kalinowo association .

church

Until 1945 Statzen was parish in the Protestant church Pissanitzen (1926 to 1945 Ebenfelde , Polish Pisanica ) 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 Prwadziska ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, on the Catholic side, Stacze belongs to the parish in Pisanica in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the parish in Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

economy

Due to the location of the village on the lake and its largely intact historic village center, tourism today forms the economic focus of the inhabitants of Stacze alongside agriculture.
