Stożne ( German  Stoosznen , 1938 to 1945 Stosnau ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community of Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938 to 1945 Reimannswalde) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Stożne is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on Jezioro Stożne , nine kilometers northwest of the district town of Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg , Polish Olecko ).

history

1560 was the founding year of the small village called Stosznen after 1785 and Stoosznen until 1938 , which was incorporated into the newly established administrative district of Schareyken ( Szarejki in Polish ) in 1874. This - renamed in 1938 to "District Schareiken" - belonged to the Oletzko district until 1945 - called "Treuburg district" from 1933 to 1945 - in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Stoosznen had 344 inhabitants. Their number rose to 364 by 1933 and totaled 412 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Stoosznen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Stoosznen, 268 residents voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons, in order to avoid place names that sound alien, Stoosznen was renamed "Stosnau" in 1938. As a result of the war, the village and southern East Prussia became part of Poland in 1945 and since then has borne the Polish name form "Stożne". Today the village is part of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in the Powiat Olecki of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Stoosznen resp. Before 1945 Stosnau was parish in the Protestant parish Schareyken (1938 to 1945: Schareiken , Polish Szarejki ) in the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Since 1945 the Protestant church members Stożnes belong to the parish in Gołdap , a branch parish of Suwałki in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

Before 1945 the Catholic church members were oriented towards Marggrabowa or Treuburg ( Polish Olecko ) in the Diocese of Warmia , today they are parish in the newly established parish of Szarejki . Associated with this is a chapel in Stożne, dedicated to St. Joseph . The parish belongs to one of the two deaneries in Olecko in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
