Zawojki ( German  Zawoyken , 1934 to 1945 Lilienfelde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Rozogi (Friedrichshof) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Zawojki is located directly on the border of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship to the Masovian Voivodeship , which was the border between the German Empire and Poland here until 1945 . To the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ) it is 26 kilometers in a north-westerly direction.

history

On April 16, 1787, the founding hand-held for Zawoyken was issued and confirmed by the king on August 22 of that year. The economic conditions were not favorable due to the remote location and the poor traffic conditions. It wasn't really until the 1920s that there was an improvement.

In 1868 a new village was established north of the village: Rosengarten ( Grodzie in Polish ).

When the district Liebenberg (Polish clone ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg was established in 1874, Zawoyken was incorporated. The population of Zawoyken was 241 in 1910 and 243 in 1933.

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 Zamoyken, 186 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names, Zawoyken was renamed "Lilienfelde" on December 28, 1934. The number of village residents in 1939 was 250.

Lilienfelde was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war, along with all of southern East Prussia . The place received the Polish name form "Zawojki" and is today with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of the rural community Rozogi (Friedrichshof) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the voivodeship Ostrołęka , since then the Voivodeship Warmia- Masuria belonging. In 2011 the number of inhabitants was 55.

church

Until 1945 Zawoyken / Lilienfelde was parish in the Evangelical Church Friedrichshof in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Liebenberg (Polish clone ) in the then diocese of Warmia .

Today Zawojki still belongs to the Catholic parish in Klon , which is now assigned to the Archdiocese of Warmia . The Protestant residents align themselves with the church in Szczytno (Ortelsburg) , which belongs to the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

The village school in Zawoyken / Lilienfelde was founded in the age of Friedrich Wilhelm III. founded. In 1939 about 50 students were taught.

traffic

Zawojki is only a few kilometers away from Rozogi and is therefore connected to the two busy national roads DK 53 and DK 59 . From Cis (Friedrichsthal) , a side road running parallel to DK 53 leads to Dąbrowy through the village.

There is no longer a connection to rail traffic . From 1915 to 1962 Zawoyki was a stop on the Puppen – Myszyniec railway line , which was operated by the Ortelsburger Kleinbahn , later by the Polish State Railway (PKP) and which was discontinued due to unprofitability.
