Sulejki ( German  Suleyken , 1938 to 1945 Suleiken ) is a Polish village in the rural municipality Świętajno (Schwentainen) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1938 to 1945 ) in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

Sulejki is located on the southwest bank of the Schwentaier See ( Polish Jezioro Świętajno ) and on the northwest bank of the Dworatzker See (1934 to 1945 Herrendorfer See, Polish Jezioro Dworackie ) in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also: Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) is 14 kilometers away, and it is 43 kilometers to the Polish state border with the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast .

history

The small village, then called Sulleiken , was founded in 1550. After 1785 Sulleyken and until 1938 called Suleyken it came in 1874 to the administrative district Schwentainen ( Polish Świętajno ), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 323 inhabitants registered in Suleyken, in 1933 there were 364. The small town of Sedan in the south belonged to the municipality (no longer existing today).

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Suleyken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Suleyken, 245 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - the spelling of the place name was changed to "Suleiken". In 1939 Suleyken had 335 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, Suleiken came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Sulejki”. Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko / Treuburg district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Before 1945 Suleyken resp. Suleiken in the Evangelical Church of Schwentainen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish of the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross in Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Sulejki is located near the Evangelical Church of Wydminy (Widminnen) , a branch church of the Giżycko parish in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland . On the Catholic side, it is incorporated into the Świętajno Parish Church . It belongs to the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Sulejki is located south of the voivodship road DW 655 and can be reached in a few kilometers via the junction in Dunajek (Duneyken , 1938 to 1945 Duneiken) on a side road that leads to Połom (Polommen , 1938 to 1945 Herzogsmühle) . In addition, a side road from the south of Krzywe (Krzywen , 1938 to 1945 Bergenau) ends in Sulejki.

A rail link has not existed since 1945, when the Marggrabowa (Oletzko) / Treuburg – Schwentainen line of the Oletzkoer (Treuburger) Kleinbahnen with the nearest railway station Schwentainen was shut down.

Mention in the literature

Hasso von Etzdorf attributed Suleyken to the fictional German diplomat " Edmund Friedemann Dräcker " , whom he first imagined in 1936, as the place of birth.

The setting for the Masurian stories published in 1955 by the German writer Siegfried Lenz under the title So Tender Was Suleyken is a fictional village called Suleyken .
