history

In 1386 the Teutonic Order prescribed one hundred hooves to the brothers Hans and Niclaus Witkop von Theergewisch . The named Rogenwalde is likely to have been the main town of what would later become the Theerwisch estate. In a renewal of the founding hand-held celebrations , the high master of the order Merten Truchseß issued part of the district for Jakob and Berndt von Theerwisch in 1477 . In 1615, Hans von Wildenhain became the owner of the Theerwisch goods: Theerwisch, Theerwischwolla (1933 to 1945 Theerwischwalde , Targowska Wola in Polish ) and Theerwischwolka (1928 to 1945 Waldrode , Targowska Wólka in Polish ). The Theerwisch estates have had different owners since 1800 (without Theerwischwolka since 1782): the von Massenbach , von Gotzheim , von Burghard , von Fabeck and von Osten-Fabeck families .

In 1874 Theerwisch was incorporated into the newly established Jablonken District ( Jabłonka in Polish ), both as a rural community and as an estate , which - renamed "Wildenau District" in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the East Prussian district of Rastenburg .

In 1912, Theerwisch was divided into the rural community of Theerwisch (374.5 hectares, 248 inhabitants), the rural community of Theerwischwolla (109.6 hectares, 105 inhabitants) and the estate district of Theerwisch (1582.3 hectares, with the Louisenthal suburb , Zazdrość in Polish ). Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Theerwisch belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In the village and estate of Theerwisch, 273 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while no votes were cast for Poland.

On October 17, 1928, the estate district of Theerwisch and the rural community of Theerwisch and Theerwischwolla were merged to form the new rural community of Theerwisch. The total population was 622 in 1933 and 567 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the entire southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945. Theerwisch, which received the Polish form of the name “Targowo”, was also affected. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Targowo had 351 inhabitants.

The once Protestant, now Catholic church in Targowo

Church building

Today's Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist was built between 1884 and 1934 as a Protestant church. It was the long postponed replacement of a wooden church from the 15th century, which had to be demolished in 1823 due to dilapidation. It is a simple field stone building in a neo-Romanesque style. The free-standing massive bell tower was built in 1927.

Parishes

The foundation of the church in Theerwisch resp. Targowo probably goes back to the year 1405, so it goes back to the pre-Reformation period. With the arrival of the Reformation, the church became Protestant.

Evangelical

Theerwisch was an independent parish, which was united from 1900 with the neighboring parish Jablonken (1938 to 1945 Wildenau , Polish Jabłonka ) under a rectory (seat in Theerwisch). Until then, it was of their own pastors, but also clergy from Mensguth village (Polish Dźwierzuty ) and Rhine wine ( Rańsk supplied). Until 1945 it belonged to the parish of Ortelsburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . After 1945, the evacuation and expulsion of the local population put an end to the life of the Protestant community. Evangelical residents of Targowo are now orienting themselves towards the church in Dźwierzuty or towards the church in Rańsk within the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic

The Catholic parish of Targowo was established by an episcopal decree of August 15, 1982 and dedicated to John the Baptist . A year earlier, the Catholic Church had taken over the previously Protestant and now almost dilapidated church. Before there was no Catholic church in Theerwisch, and the Catholic residents belonged to the parish church in Mensguth. Today the parish of Targowo is part of the dean's office Pasym (Passenheim) in the Archdiocese of Warmia .

school

A school was mentioned in Theerwisch as early as 1531. A new school building was built in 1938. It contained three classrooms and a teacher's apartment.
