Szarłaty ( German  Charlotten ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Sorkwity ( German  Sorquitten ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Szarłaty lies between the Jezioro Lampackie ( German  Sorquitter See , Lampatzki-See ) and the Pierwoysee ( Jezioro Pierwój ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 14 kilometers southwest of the district town Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

history

In 1785 Charlotten was mentioned as a "noble Vorwerk with six fireplaces". The rural community consisted only of a few small farms. From 1874 to 1945 it was part of the Sorquitten district ( Sorkwity in Polish ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Charlotten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Charlotten, 40 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

When all of southern East Prussia was surrendered to Poland as a result of the war in 1945 , Charlotten was also affected. It received the Polish name form "Szarłaty" and is today - in close relationship ("część wsi") to the neighboring village of Nibork (Neberg) - a place in the network of the rural community Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the voivodeship Olsztyn , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
