Loje ( German  Loyen , 1938-1945 Loien) and loje (settlement) ( Polish loje (osada) ) are two villages in the network of Polish rural municipality Dubeninki (Dubeningken , 1938-1945 Dubeningen) , which in the Warmia and Mazury belonging district Gołdap (Goldap) lies.

geography

Łoje is 17 kilometers east of the district town of Gołdap, southwest of Lake Loyer (1938 to 1945: Lake Loier, Polish: Jezioro Przerośl). "Local mountain" is the 230 meter high Brandberg (Jastrzębia Góra), not far from the voivodeship border with Podlasie .

The place is conveniently located near the voivodship road DW 651 . A railway connection no longer exists today, since the former "Kaiserbahn" Goldap – Szittkehmen / Wehrkirchen with the nearest railway station in Dubeninki was decommissioned.

history

The foundation of today's village Łoje dates back to 1555. After 1590 the place was called Uscheschere , then Ussescherey . Until 1871 the place was divided into Old Loyen and New Loyen , but was then combined into a village Loyen. Until 1945 Loyen was a widely scattered village.

On March 18, 1874, Loyen became the official seat, giving its name to a newly established administrative district , which - renamed "Amtsgebiet Loien" in 1939 - existed until 1945 and was part of the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . Initially, the Loyer See manor district also belonged to the district of Loyen . In 1900/02 it was united with the Wystiter See estate (both were without residents) to form the Bredauen estate, domain office, and in 1928 it was incorporated into Loyen.

In 1910 a total of 291 inhabitants were registered in Loyen. Their number decreased to 242 by 1933 and was still 231 in 1939.

On June 3, 1938, the spelling of the place name was changed to "Loien".

As a result of the war, the village and southern East Prussia became part of Poland in 1945 and received the Polish name “Łoje”. Between 1975 and 1998 it still belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has been assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and is located in the powiat Gołdapski in Gmina Dubeninki .

Loyen / Loien district (1874–1945)

Established on March 18, 1874, the district of Loyen was renamed on July 25, 1939 in "district of Loien". Initially, it consisted of ten, and in the end, nine municipal units:
