Szczecinowo ( German  Szczeczynowen , also Sczecinowen , 1925 to 1945 Steinberg ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community of Stare Juchy ( Alt Jucha , 1929 to 1938 Jucha , 1938 to 1945 Fließdorf ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ) .

Geographical location

Szczecinowo is located on the east bank of the Sonntagsee ( Jezioro Szóstak in Polish ), which is part of the Lycker Lake District . Up to the city of Elk (Lyck) there are 21 km to the southeast.

history

The place received its hand- fests from the captain from Stradaunen ( Straduny in Polish ) in 1544 as Zezinowen .

In 1867, the Sonntagsee, which is located on the spot, was lowered by several meters through the construction of a canal to a neighboring lake, with the aim of gaining agricultural land for the rural area. The area turned out to be less productive than expected, but at least several prehistoric pile dwellings could be discovered.

On May 28, 1874 Szczeczynowen was in the newly built office district Gorlowken ( Polish Gorłówko incorporated), which - in 1939 in "District Gorlau" renamed - was and until 1945 the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province East Prussia belonged.

The responsible registry office was in Gorlowken from 1874 to 1905 , whose tasks were taken over from 1905 to 1945 to Alt Jucha (1929 to 1938: Jucha, 1938 to 1945: Fließdorf, today in Polish: Stare Juchy).

On December 1, 1910, Szczeczynowen had 787 inhabitants.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Szczeczynowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Szczeczynowen 540 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On May 22, 1925, the place was renamed "Steinberg". The population decreased to 739 by 1933 and was still 675 in 1939.

After the Second World War the place came to Poland and got the Polish form of the name "Szczecinowo". Many former Aussiedlerhöfe have become deserted as a result of the expulsion of the German population, as has the German cemetery. Today the place is part of the Gmina Stare Juchy and seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and until 1998 was part of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945 Szczeczynowen resp. Steinberg parish in the Protestant church Jucha (Fließdorf) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Adalbert in Lyck ( Polish Ełk ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, on the Catholic side, Szczecinowo belongs to the parish Stare Juchy , which is integrated with a branch church in Gorłówko (Gorlowken , 1938 to 1945 Gorlau) in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents stick to the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Szczecinowo is on a side road that branches off from the voivodship road DW 655 at Pietrasze (Pietraschen , 1938 to 1945 Petersgrund) and leads to Stare Juchy (Alt Jucha , 1929 to 1938 Jucha , 1938 to 1945 Fließdorf) .

Mazomeit campaigned for German-Polish friendship during his lifetime and held several church services to reconcile the displaced (and local) Christians. He also gained regional fame because he succeeded in reconciling the quarreling Protestants and Catholics in Altrip . Mazomeit is the father of the environmental planner Johannes Mazomeit .
