Zawady Oleckie ( German  Sawadden , 1938 to 1945 Schwalgenort ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community of Kowale Oleckie (Kowahlen , 1938 to 1945 Reimannswalde) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

Zawady Oleckie is located in the northeast of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship on the eastern edge of the Borkener Forest (also: Borker Heide, Polish Puszcza Borecka ). The district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , also: Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg ) is 18 kilometers to the southeast.

history

The village, called Groß Sawadden before 1785 , was founded in 1541. Until 1938 it was called Sawadden (without an addition). In 1874 the place came to the newly established district Schwalg ( Polish Szwałk ), but was reclassified to the district Czychen before 1908 . This belonged - renamed in 1938 to "Bolken District" - until 1945 to the Oletzko district (called "Treuburg District" from 1933 to 1945) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Sawadden had a total of 336 inhabitants in 1910. Their number rose to 340 by 1933 and was only 302 in 1939.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Sawadden belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Sawadden, 292 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, Sawadden was renamed "Schwalgenort" for political and ideological reasons to turn away from supposedly foreign sounding place names.

In 1945 the village was in consequence of the war with the southern East Prussia to Poland , where it now has since called "zawady oleckie". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and a village in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Before 1945 Schwalgenort was parish in the Protestant parish of the Church of Czychen (1938 to 1945: Bolken, Polish Cichy ) in the parish of Oletzko / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Gołdap (Goldap) is the responsible church, a branch church of the parish Suwałki in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Before 1945 the responsible Catholic parish church was that in Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945: Treuburg, Polish Olecko ) in the Diocese of Warmia . Today the parish in Cichy is responsible, which maintains a branch church in the closer Sokółki (Sokolken , 1938 to 1945 Halldorf) . She belonged to one of the two Dean's offices Olecko in the current diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
