Żelazki ( German  Szielasken , 1936 to 1938 Schielasken , 1938 to 1945 Hallenfelde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the urban and rural community Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district .

Geographical location

Żelazki is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 15 kilometers southeast of the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) and directly on the voivodeship border between Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie . The former state border between the German Empire and Poland was a few kilometers further east-southeast.

history

The small village called Selasken at the time was founded in 1561. In 1874 the rural community of Szielasken was incorporated into the newly established administrative district Gurnen (Polish: Górne), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . 502 inhabitants were registered in Szielasken in 1910.

On September 30, 1928, Szielasken expanded to include the Gutsdorf Babken (Polish: Babki), which - without the originally associated Vorwerk Scheelhof (Polish: Siedlisko, no longer existed) was incorporated. On May 1, 1937, the border between the communities Schielasken (that was the name of the place between 1936 and 1938) and Gurnen was straightened, whereby the border course now corresponded to the course of the straightened river Jarke (Polish: Jarka).

The number of inhabitants was 572 in 1933 and 504 in 1939.

On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, Schielasken received the name "Hallenfelde" as part of the National Socialist renaming campaign . As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with southern East Prussia and has been called "Żelazki" ever since. Today the village with its 120 inhabitants is part of the Gołdap urban and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat . Until 1998 it was part of the Suwałki Voivodeship , but since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship that was formed at the time .

church

The population of Szielaskens resp. Before 1945, Hallenfeldes was predominantly of Protestant denomination and was parish in the parish of the Gurnen Church (Polish: Górne). The village thus belonged to the Goldap parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . After 1945, the Protestant church members in Żelazki belonged to the parish in Gołdap , a subsidiary of the Suwałki parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

The few Catholics before 1945 had their parish church in Goldap, which belonged to the Diocese of Warmia . Since 1945, the majority Catholic population Żelazkis the newly built parish include Gorne , incorporated into the dean's office Gołdap in the Diocese of Elk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Żelazki is a little out of the way and is only accessible via a subordinate side street that branches off the Polish state road DK 65 (formerly German Reichsstraße 132 ) at Dzięgiele (Dzingellen , 1938 to 1945 Widmannsdorf) and to Mieruniszki (Mierunsken , 1938 to 1945 Merunen) in the Podlaskie Voivodeship leads to achieve.

A rail connection has ceased to exist since 1993 when passenger traffic on the Ełk – Tschernjachowsk (Lyck – Insterburg) line with the nearest station Pogorzel (Hegelingen , until 1906 Pogorzellen) was discontinued.
