Suczki ( German  Sutzken , 1933-1945 Hitlershöhe ) is a small town in the northeast of the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Gołdap (town and country municipality Goldap ) in the powiat Gołdapski ( Goldap district ).

Geographical location

Suczki is located on the northwest slope of Szeskie Wzgórza (Seesker Höhe) not far from Wronki Wielkie (Groß Wronken , 1938–1945 Winterberg) on Voivodeship Road 650 , which leads from Gołdap (Goldap) via Węgorzewo (Angerburg) to Barciany (Barten) . Until 1945 there was a connection to the railway line from Goldap via Benkheim (now Polish: Banie Mazurskie) to Angerburg (Węgorzewo) via the Grabowo station .

Place name

Suczki, which is now Polish, bore the place name Sutzken until 1933 , which at that time appeared several times in the province of East Prussia . The current place name Suczki occurs more often in today's Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

On March 9, 1933, the community of Sutzken with its allegedly 95% National Socialist (compared to 5% German national) population applied for the name to be changed to "Hitler's height". Hitler's consent was given on April 12, 1933, provided that the competent administrative authority gave its consent. This ordered the name change on October 27, 1933. After the Second World War, the place was renamed Suczki .

history

The former Sutzken was on March 18, 1874 one of 13 rural communities that formed the district of Skötschen (1939–1945 Grönfleet , today in Polish: Skocze). Until 1945 it belonged to the district of Goldap in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 Sutzken had 154 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 160 and in 1939 133.

As a result of the Second World War , Sutzken, alias Hitlershöhe, came under Polish administration and was given the name Suczki . The place, in which 40 people live today, is part of the Gmina Gołdap in the powiat Gołdapski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (from 1975 to 1998 Suwałki Voivodeship ).

church

Sutzken and Hitler's height belonged with predominantly Protestant population until 1945 to the parish of the New Church Goldap in the parish of Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The Catholic church members were incorporated into the diocese of Warmia .
