Talusy ( German  Thalussen , 1938 to 1945 Talussen ) and Talusy (Osada) are two places in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belong to the Gmina Ełk ( rural community Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ).

Geographical location

Talusy and Talusy (Osada) are located in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , nine kilometers southwest of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) . The hamlet ( Polish Osada ) Talusy is about one kilometer south of the village.

history

The village of Talusy was founded as Thalussen in 1476. Between 1874 and 1945 it was part of the Lyck-Land administrative district , which had its seat in Neuendorf ( Nowa Wieś Ełcka in Polish ). He belonged to the circle elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Thalussen had 186 inhabitants in 1910, compared to 165 in 1933. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Thalussen belonged, approved on July 11, 1920 that East Prussia would continue to belong to the state (and thus Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Thalussen, 120 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, Thalussen was renamed in the changed spelling of the name: "Talussen". A year later the population was only 155.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since borne the Polish form of the name “Talusy”.

There is no evidence of the history of the hamlet of Talusy (Osada) . Whether - apart from the name - there is a connection to the village of Talusy is not known, nor is any earlier German name. It is quite possible that the small town was only created after 1945.

Talusy is today - Talusy (Osada) should be included - the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ). Thus, both localities belong to Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Before 1945 Thalussen resp. Talussen parish in the Protestant parish church of Lyck in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic St. Adalbert Church in Lyck in the Diocese of Warmia . The church relationship between Talusy (with Talusy (Osada)) and the district town still exists today.

On September 11, 1932, the then so-called “Heroes Cemetery Thalussen” was opened on the former Wachtberg near Thalussen. 79 German and 278 Russian soldiers who died in the great winter battle in Masuria on February 14, 1915 are resting on the site . The memorial was designed by the Lyck architect Heinrich Lotz.

traffic

Talusy is located on the important east-west traffic axis of the Polish state road 16 (former German Reichsstraße 127 ), which connects the three voivodeships of Kuyavian-Pomeranian , Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie . In addition, several small back roads from the surrounding area end in Talusy. The next train station is Mołdzie (Moldzien , 1938 to 1945 Mulden) on the Czerwonka – Ełk railway line ( German  Rothfließ – Lyck ), which, however, is only used irregularly for freight traffic.
