Zanie ( German  Sanien , 1938-1945 Berndhöfen ) is a village in the north-eastern Masuria in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , Powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), belonging to the municipality of Kalinowo (Kallinowen , 1938 to 1945 Dreimühlen ).

Geographical location

The village is located seven kilometers northeast of the village of Kalinowo and three kilometers west of the border with the Podlaskie Voivodeship (former German-Polish state border), 27 kilometers northeast of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) .

history

The village was founded in 1472. The place name is probably of Prussian origin.

In 1656 the Tatars, allied with Poland, invaded Sanien and caused severe destruction and the loss of a large part of the village population.

On May 27, 1874, in the course of a Prussian community reform, a new district Wierzbowen (1932 to 1938 "District Wiersbowen", 1938 to 1945 "District Waldwerder", Polish Wierzbowo ) was formed in the administrative district of Gumbinnen , from 1905 administrative district of Allenstein , which included the communities of Groß Czymochen , Kiehlen , Millewen , Sanien, Soczien , Thurowen , Wiersbowen and the manor district Czymochen included.

On December 1, 1910, there were 295 inhabitants in Sanien, in 1933 there were 254.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sanien belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Sanien, 180 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

Sanien was renamed "Berndhöfen" on June 3, 1938 in the course of the massive Germanization of Masurian place names of Baltic or Slavic origin .

In 1939 Berndhöfen (Sanien) had 251 inhabitants.

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Berndhöfen , 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, in addition to the traditional Masurian minority, replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland, especially from the Podlachian Raczki . The place was renamed "Zanie".

From 1975 to 1998 Zanie belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and is therefore part of Gmina Kalinowo .
