Bronisze ( German  Wittichsfelde ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Geographical location

Bronisze is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, southeast of the district town of Gołdap . The Ełk – Tschernjachowsk (Lyck – Insterburg) railway runs on the western edge of the village .

history

The image of the village, named Brunisch before 1581, was shaped by a large estate with an extensive park before 1945 . In 1874 it was incorporated into the administrative district Gurnen (Polish Górne). He belonged to the district of Goldap in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 the Wittichsfelde manor district had 156 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928 Wittichsfelde gave up its independence and merged with the neighboring towns of Babken (1938–1945 Steinbrück, Babki in Polish) - without the district of Scheelhof (Siedlisko in Polish, no longer existent) - as well as Gurnen (Górne in Polish) and Pröken (Przecka , no longer existent) to form the new rural community Gurnen.

With all of southern East Prussia , Wittichsfelde was assigned to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and has been called Bronisze since then . The village is now a small town in the Gołdap municipal and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat . If it belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship until 1998 , it is now part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

The majority Protestant population of Wittichsfeld was parish in the parish of the church Gurnen before 1945 and thus belonged to the parish of Goldap within the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholic residents were oriented towards Goldap ( Diocese of Warmia ).

Today the predominantly Catholic population of Broniszes belongs to the newly established parish in Górne , which belongs to the Gołdap deanery in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here belong to the parish in Gołdap , which is a subsidiary of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Bronisze is a little out of the way, but is via two side streets that branch off from the voivodship road DW 651 near Jurkiszki (Jörkischken , 1938–1945 Jarkental) and Pluszkiejmy (Plautzkehmen , 1938–1945 Engern) .

Until 1993 there was a rail connection via the Górne station to the Ełk – Chernyakhovsk railway line , which is now closed to passenger traffic.
