Olecko (former since 1560, colloquially also , since 1928, (リトアニア語:Alėcka)) is a city in Masuria, in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship of Poland, near Ełk and Suwałki. It is situated at the mouth of the Lega river which flows into the Great Olecko Lake (''Jezioro Oleckie Wielkie'') on its south-western shore. Olecko is the seat of Olecko County. ==History== ''Marggrabowa'' was founded as a town by Albert of Brandenburg-Ansbach, Duke of the Duchy of Prussia, on January 1, 1560. The town's Masurian Slavic-sounding name is derived from the German word Markgraf, the duke's title as the margraviate of Brandenburg's prince. The city's coat of arms still reflects the Brandenburg red eagle and the Hohenzollern black and white which go back to Albert of Brandenburg Prussia. The populace became Lutheran-Protestant within the Duchy of Prussia in 1525. At the same location as the present location of the town there has been a hunting lodge called ''Oletzko'' since 1544. At a peninsula towards the lake, across the Lega river, in 1619 the Castle of Oletzko (''Schloss Oletzko'') was established as a regional administrative seat for the Dukes of Prussia. In 1920, the East Prussian plebiscite was held in the area by the League of Nations according to the Treaty of Versailles on remaining in East Prussia or affiliation with the recreated state of Poland. In the whole district of Oletzko there were only 2 pro-Polish votes, so the county remained with Germany.〔(Urząd Miejski w Olecku Mazury Polska Poland Polen Pologne )〕 Thus the City was renamed "Treuburg" ("Loyal Castle") in 1928. Between 1818 and 1945, Marggrabowa was the seat of ''Oletzko County'' (''Kreis Oletzko'') in the province of East Prussia in the Kingdom of Prussia. Following the example of the town, in 1933 also the district was named ''Kreis Treuburg''. The whole area was transferred, this time without plebiscite, to Poland after World War II. The native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olecko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
