The German place name Eisenberg is often encountered, the Polish name Żelazna (with and without addition) occurs more often in Poland.

history

In 1308, the Eisenberg locator Hermann received the village festivals from Heinrich von Isenberg , the Komtur von Balga (today Russian: Wesjoloje) and Vogt von Natangen . In the early days Eisenberg was pledged to the Warmian cathedral curator Thomas Werner for 1,000 marks. During the time of the knightly order there was a forest office in Eisenberg , which was responsible for the area up to Birkenau (Wilki), Rehfeld (Grzechotki) and Tiefensee (Głębock).

In 1910 there were 932 inhabitants in Eisenberg. Their number fell to 795 by 1933 and rose to 813 by 1939.

Until 1945 Eisenberg was a municipality in the district of Heiligenbeil (today Russian: Mamonowo) in the administrative district of Königsberg (Kaliningrad) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1945 the place came under Polish administration and received its current name. The village now belongs to the rural community Braniewo in the Braniewski powiat in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Elbląg Voivodeship ). Almost 400 people live here today.

Eisenberg district

On June 11, 1874, a separate Eisenberg district was established with its seat in Eisenberg. It was formed from the four rural communities Eisenberg (now in Polish: Żelazna Góra), Kahlwalde (Łysaki), Rödersdorf (Grzędowo) and Schönlinde (Krasnolipie) and the Hohenwalde (Krzewno) estate . From September 1, 1931, the Eisenberg district consisted only of the four rural communities and remained with this structure until 1945.

The Church in Żelazna Góra

The parish church in Eisenberg or Żelazna Góra dates from the 14th century and was built as a fortified church . After its destruction in World War II , the church was rebuilt between 1994 and 1997. The earlier baroque tower dome has been replaced by a modern cover. The current altar stood until 1945 in the neighboring church in Pellen (now in Polish: Piele), which was destroyed in the war . After a new consecration, the church was named Kościół pw. Świętej Rodziny (" Holy Family ").
