Szarejki ( German Schareyken , 1938 to 1945 Schareiken ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938 to 1945 Reimannswalde) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko / Treuburg district) .
Geographical location
Szarejki is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 12 kilometers northwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , also: Oletzko , Treuburg from 1928 to 1945 ) .
history
Today's Szarejki is a settlement founded in 1566 by the village mayor Schareyko , who gave the place its name. Before 1785 the village was also called Scharecken , after 1785 Scharreicken . On May 27, 1874, it became the official seat and thus gave its name to a newly established district , which until 1933 belonged to the Oletzko district - called Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 - in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Schareyken had 253 inhabitants in 1910. Their number rose to 264 by 1933 and in 1939 was already 309.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Schareyken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Schareyken, 226 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
Due to the political and ideological defense, the spelling seemed foreign to the place name Schareykens on June 3, 1938 (officially confirmed on July 16) changed to "Schareiken". As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Szarejki”. The village is now the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish: Sołectwo) and a village in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs to.

church
Church building
The church built in the 1560s burned down in 1677 and was replaced by a new building in 1719. It is a plastered stone church with altar and pulpit from the workshop of Friedrich Pfeffer in Königsberg (Prussia) from 1720. The church was a Protestant place of worship until 1945 , since then it has served as a Catholic worship center and has been named Kościół św. Matki Bożej Różańcowej .
Parish
Evangelical
Since the establishment of a parish in Schareyken, it has been oriented towards the Lutheran creed. Until 1945 it belonged with its 21 villages counted parish to parish district Oletzko / Treuburg in the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Prussian Union of churches . Because of the flight and displacement of the local population , church life came to a standstill in the place then known as Szarejki. Protestant church members living here again today belong to the parish in the distant Gołdap , a subsidiary parish of Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
Catholic
Only after 1945 did Catholic life flourish in Szarejki due to the influx of new settlers. The village became a parish again, but now subordinated to the Catholic deanery in Olecko Niepokalanego Poczęcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny and belonging to the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The parish comprises ten localities and also looks after the branch chapel parish in Stożne (Stoosznen , 1938 to 1945 Stosnau) .
