Użranki [ uˈʐranki ] ( German Königshöhe , Uszranken until 1881 ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community Mrągowo (Sensburg) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).
Geographical location
Użranki is located in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 30 kilometers southwest of the former district town Giżycko (Lötzen) and eight kilometers east of today's district metropolis Mrągowo (Sensburg) .
history
The small village, called Usranken after 1785 and Uszranken until 1881, was incorporated into the district of Groß Jauer ( Jora Wielka in Polish ) between 1874 and 1945 . He belonged to the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On June 13, 1881 Uszranken was renamed "Königshöhe".
In 1910 there were 498 residents registered in Königshöhe. Their number changed to 479 by 1933 and was still 474 in 1939.
Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Königshöhe belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Königshöhe, 340 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
Until 1945 Königshöhe was assigned to the Groß Jauer registry office .
As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish form of the name "Użranki", which is based on the historical name. The site is now the location of a Schulz Office ( Polish sołectwo ) and a village in a composite of Gmina Mrągowo (Town Sensburg ) in mrągowo county (Kreis Sensburg ), before 1998 the Olsztyn Province (Olsztyn) , since the Warmia and Mazury belong.
church
Church building
In 1895 a separate church was built to relieve the localities in the southern area of the parish Rhine ( Ryn in Polish ). It was built in the neo-Gothic style with a high, exposed west tower. The building was elevated and visible from afar.
The Königshöher Church was a Protestant church for almost a hundred years . In 1994 it was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church in Poland , which renamed it Kościół Św. Apostołów Piotra i Pawła ( Church of St. Peter and Paul ) took into service.
Parish
Evangelical
History
An independent evangelical parish was founded in Königshöhe in 1892. It was assigned a manageable parish with seven villages and localities, which were branched off from the parish in Rhine (Ryn). In 1925 the parish Königshöhe had 1793 parishioners. Until 1945, the community belonged to the parish of Lötzen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Then it was integrated into the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
Today, their worship spaces are limited, and Użranki is - like Nawiady (Aweyden) - a branch of the St. Trinity Church in Mrągowo (Sensburg) .
