Wysokie ( German Wyssocken , 1938-1945 Waltershöhe ) is a village in the northeastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), belonging to the municipality of Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen ).
Geographical location
Wysokie is located six kilometers southwest of the village of Kalinowo on the state road 16 leading from Ełk to Augustów , 15 kilometers northeast of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) .
Place name
The origin of the place name is derived from the Masurian term for German height (or hill ).
history
Wysokie was founded in 1473.
In May 1874, as part of a Prussian community reform, a new Gollupken district (1938 to 1945 Lübeckfelde , Golubka in Polish ) was formed, which included the communities Gollubien A , Gollubien B, Gollupken , Groß Skomentnen , Klein Skomentnen, Mikolayken , Saborowen , Szczudlen and Wyssocken.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wyssocken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Wyssocken, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
In 1933 there were 293 inhabitants in Wyssocken.
Wyssocken was renamed Waltershöhe on June 3, 1938 in the course of the massive Germanization of place names of Masurian, Polish or Lithuanian origin. The renaming followed the German translation of the word wysockie in height in connection with the name Walter before. In 1938, by analogous renaming, the Gollupken district became the Lübeckfelde district, which then comprised the seven newer communities Georgsfelde , Gollen , Lübeckfelde , Reichenwalde (Ostpr.) , Skomanten , Thomken and Waltershöhe.
In 1939 Waltershöhe (Wyssocken) only had 261 inhabitants.
For a long time , the mayor of the community before 1945 provided a family of landowners named Piotrowski , who owned 41 hectares of land there.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Waltershöhe (Wyssocken) , which was part of the German Empire ( East Prussia ) , fell to Poland. The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland in addition to the traditional Masurian minority. The place was renamed "Wysokie".
From 1975 to 1998 Wysokie belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then in 1999 it joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place within the rural community Kalinowo .
church
Until 1945 Wyssocken resp. Waltershöhe in the Evangelical Church Pissanitzen (1926 to 1945 Ebenfelde , Polish Pisanica ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Andreas Prawdzisken (1934 to 1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prwdziska ) in the Diocese of Warmia .
Today, on the Catholic side, Wysokie belongs to the parish in Pisanica 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 in Pisz ( German Johannisburg ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
traffic
Wysokie is conveniently located on the Polish national road 16 , which connects the three voivodeships of Kuyavian-Pomeranian , Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie . Several small back roads from the area end in Wysokie. There is no train connection.
