history

Local history

The foundation of the village Schöndamerau (after 1820: Groß Schöndamerau ) took place in 1391, when Colonel Spittler and Komtur von Elbing Walpot von Bassenheim issued the festival for the Schulzen Stanislaus and Mathes . In the 17th century, the economic development did not take a favorable course, the wealth of the inhabitants were also classified as "mediocre" in 1787. Only at the end of the 19th century did the village experience a lively economic upswing, supported by the savings and loan fund (Raiffeisen) founded in 1891.

On July 16, 1874, Groß Schöndamerau became an official village for an administrative district of Schöndamerau, which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Königsberg district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) of the Prussian province of East Prussia . 13 villages were assigned to him.

In 1910 Groß Schöndamerau had 616 inhabitants. Their number increased when on September 30, 1928 the manor districts of Frenzken ( Polish Fręcki , no longer existent) and Klein Schöndamerau (Polish Trelkówko ) were incorporated. In 1933 the population was 746, in 1939 it was 655.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß Schöndamerau belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Schöndamerau, 427 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Groß Schöndamerau was also affected. The village received the Polish name form "Trelkowo" and is today the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) in the association of Gmina Szczytno (rural municipality Ortelsburg ) in the powiat Szczycieński (district Ortelsburg ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Trelkowo had 411 inhabitants.

church

Church building

The church in Schöndamerau mentioned in the hand festival of 1391 was a wooden structure. It burned down in the middle of the 18th century. In 1757 the church was built in its current form. It is a simple field stone building with a massive two-story tower.

The pulpit altar dates from the time the church was founded . In 1866 the church received an organ and the church bell consisted of three bells . The equipment includes a neo-Gothic baptismal font , as well as two memorial plaques with the names of soldiers from the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War .

Two old carvings from the 15th century were given to the Ortelsburg Museum of Local History ( Muzeum Mazurskie w Szczytnie in Polish ).

Parish

Schondamerau was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period.

Evangelical

With the introduction of the Reformation , Schöndamerau took over the Protestant denomination. Initially, the branch church in Jablonken (1938 to 1945 Wildenau , Jabłonka in Polish ) was incorporated, and the parish was formerly part of the Saalfeld Inspection ( Zalewo in Polish ). The church patronage was incumbent on the Prussian king or the state authorities. In 1925 the church Groß Schöndamerau had 2,000 parish members in a manageable parish. It was incorporated into the superintendent district of Passenheim (Polish: Pasym ) in the parish of Ortelsburg ( Szczytno ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Flight and expulsion of the local population between 1945 and 1950 put an end to the Protestant parish in what is now known as Trelkowo. The former Protestant cemetery is still there. Evangelical residents living here now belong to the church in Szczytno within the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic

After 1945 the Roman Catholic Church took over the previously Protestant church in Trelkowo. Before 1945 the Catholic village inhabitants belonged to the parish in Ortelsburg , thanks to the resettlement of numerous people, especially from Eastern Poland - almost without exception Catholic denominations - a separate parish has now been established in Trelkowo . The parish and the church now bear the name of Maximilian Kolbe and belong to the Deanery Szczytno in the Archdiocese of Warmia .
