Degucie ( German Dagutschen , 1938-1945 Zapfengrund ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . The village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) within the rural community Dubeninki ( Dubeningken , 1938–1945 Dubeningen ) in the Gołdap district (Goldap) .
Geographical location
Degucie is located on the extreme southeastern edge of the Rominter Heide landscape park (Polish: Park Krajobrazowy Puszczy Rominckiej) in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . The Polish-Russian border runs just a few kilometers to the north, and the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) can be reached in a westerly direction. Before 1945, the state border between the German Empire and Poland ran just a little more than five kilometers southeast of the village .
history
The former town of Dagutschen , which currently has 70 inhabitants (as of 2006), is a former Salzburg village . Before 1945 it consisted of an estate and three farms, and one kilometer southwest of the village was the forestry department of the same name.
In 1874 Dagutschen was incorporated into the newly established district of Adlersfelde ( Orliniec in Polish ), which was transformed into the Unterfelde district in 1938 ( Golubie in Polish , the place no longer exists) and until 1945 belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
In 1910 114 inhabitants were registered in Dagutschen. Their number decreased to 83 by 1933 and amounted to 80 in 1939.
In the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign , Dagutschen was given the name Zapfengrund on June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938 . In 1945 the village came to Poland as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia and has been called Degucie since then . Today the place is a village in the group of Gmina Dubeninki in powiat Gołdapski . It was assigned to the Suwałki Voivodeship from 1975 to 1998 and has been part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship since then .
Religions
Before 1945, the vast majority of the population of Dagutschen was of Protestant denomination. The village was part of the parish of the Szittkehmen Church , which belonged to the Goldap parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholic church members oriented themselves towards the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .
Church relationships have been reversed since 1945: the majority Catholic population uses the once Protestant church in Żytkiejmy as their parish church, which is assigned to the Filipów dean's office in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members who live here belong to the parish in Gołdap , a subsidiary of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poland .

traffic
Degucie is 26 kilometers east of Gołdap and can be reached via the voivodship road 651 , which connects the two district towns of Gołdap and Sejny , via a strait from Żytkiejmy (Szittkehmen / Schittkehmen , 1938–1945 fortified churches) . A train connection has not existed since 1945. Until then, Szittkehmen was the nearest train station; it was on the Gumbinnen – Goldap railway line , which was closed due to the war.
