Zawada [ zaˈvada ] ( German Sawadden , 1938 to 1945 Balz (Ostpr.) ) Is a small village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Mrągowo ( rural community Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).
Geographical location
Zawada is located on the east bank of the Ixtsee ( Polish Jezioro Juksty ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , six kilometers southeast of the district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).
history
Today's hamlet ( Polish: Osada ) Zawady was founded as a small settlement in 1544. Between 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the district of Muntowen (Polish: Muntowo ), which - renamed in 1938 to "District of Muntau" - belonged to the district of Sensburg in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
102 inhabitants were registered in Sawadden in 1910. Their number was 106 in 1933 and 97 in 1939.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Sawadden, 60 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
For political and ideological reasons, to avoid foreign-sounding place names Sawadden was on June 3 (officially bestäötigt on 16 July) 1938 in "Balz (Ostpr.)" Renamed .
As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Zawada”. The place is now part of the Schulzenamt (Polish: Sołectwo ) Śniadowo (Schniodowen , 1938 to 1945 Schniedau) and thus a place in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural community Sensburg ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn (Allenstein ) voivodeship ) , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
religion
Protestant church
Until 1945 Sawadden / Balz was parish in the parish of the Protestant church Barranowen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today the Protestant church members who live here orientate themselves towards the parish church Mrągowo in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
Catholic Church
Until 1945, the Roman Catholic parish in Sensburg , which belonged to the diocese of Warmia at the time, was responsible for Sawadden / Balz . Today the Catholics in Zawady are integrated into the church at Kosewo (Kossewen , 1938 to 1945 Rechenberg) , which has been a parish church within the current Archdiocese of Warmia of the Polish Catholic Church since the 1980s .
traffic
Despite its remote, but touristically attractive, lake location, Zawady is easy to reach in terms of transport. A side road that connects the two Polish state roads DK 16 ( formerly German Reichsstraße 127 ) and DK 59 (formerly German Reichsstraße 140 ) runs through the town. There is no longer a train connection since the train service on the railway line Mrągowo – Ełk (Sensburg – Lyck) with the nearest railway station Kosewo is no longer operated.
