history

In 1342 the place is mentioned for the first time as czu Abetimte . The name of the village is of Prussian origin. It is derived from "ape-temt" (river and swell) and refers to a nameless stream that flows into the Omel . From 1528 the village was called "Abthinthen", from 1780 "Aftinten" and "Awtinten". In the middle of the 14th century, Grand Master Ludolf König von Wattzau was entitled to an area of ​​two hooks (about 20  hectares ) for the village . At that time a mill pond belonged to the estate.

In 1437 the village consisted of a total of ten hooves , six of which were farmers hooves. There were three free goods . In 1472 the village, now with 16 Hufen area, passed from Prussian / Prussian property into German hands with Magdeburg law . By the end of the 19th century at the latest, beekeeping was practiced in Aftinten and bees were also bred. In 1885 120 people lived in the settlement.

Until 1928 Aftinten belonged to the estate district Arklitten ( Polish Arklity ), then until 1945 to the municipality Molthainen (1938 to 1945 Molteinen , Polish Mołtajny ) in the East Prussian district of Gerdauen .

Around 1890 there was a hand-painting company for tiles, tiles and pipes in the Vorwerk Aftinten , which was located on the road towards Arklitten. The two existing presses were operated with hand cranks. After 1900, it was converted to a benzene engine with 30 hp. This exploded after a few years and was later replaced by a Lanz Lokomobile . This safeguarded operations until it was closed in 1940.

In January 1945 the Red Army took the area. As a result of the war, Aftinten became part of Poland as "Aptynty". An agricultural cooperative was established and three apartment blocks were built in the following years.

church

Until 1945 Aftinten was parish in the Protestant Church of Molthainen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Insterburg (today in Russian Chernyachovsk ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Aptynty belongs to the Protestant parish in Barciany , a branch parish of the Johanneskirche Kętrzyn in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland . On the Catholic side, there is now a separate church in Aptynty, which is assigned as a subsidiary church to the parish of St. Anna Mołtajny in the Archdiocese of Warmia .
