history

Before 1945, Labab was a very large Vorwerk and was founded in 1565. The small town belonged to Groß Steinort (from 1928 Steinort , Polish Sztynort ) in the district of the same name in the district of Angerburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Not quite two kilometers to the east of the village was - with its windmill visible from afar - the residential area Mühle Labab , which no longer exists today.

Labab came in 1945 in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "Łabapa". Today the small town is part of the urban and rural municipality Węgorzewo in the powiat Węgorzewski , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Labab was parish in the Protestant Church of Rosengarten in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Angerburg in the then diocese of Warmia .

Today Łabapa belongs to the Catholic parish Radzieje in the current diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Protestant parish in Węgorzewo, a branch of the parish in Giżycko (Lötzen) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Łabapa is located directly on the lake shore and can be reached via a side street from Stawiska (Stawisken , 1938 to 1945 ponds) . There is also a land route from Sztynort (Groß Steinort , 1928 to 1945 Steinort) to here.

The next train station is Kamionek Wielki (until 1928 officially "Groß Steinort", then called "Steinort") on the Kętrzyn – Węgorzewo (Rastenburg – Angerburg) railway, which is no longer regularly operated .
