history

The Teufelsberg forestry was founded around 1826. It is named after the nearby Teufelsberg ( Polish: Diabla Góra ), which is 200 meters high. The Teufelsberg forestry was a residential area of the Knobbenort rural community (Podleśne in Polish) since 1929 . It belonged to the district of Angerburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On September 30, 1929 the forester's house Teufelsberg was transferred to the Heydtwalde manor district , Forst (Budziska Leśne). As a result of the war, the small town came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia . As today's small forest settlement, it was given the Polish name Czarcia Góra and was renamed Diabla Góra in 2010 . It belongs to the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) Żabinka (Zabinken , 1938–1945 open sea) in the association of the rural community Kruklanki (Kruglanken) in the powiat Giżycki , until 1998 to the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945, the Teufelsberg forestry was a parish of the community of Knobbenort in the Evangelical Church Kruglanken in the Church Province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd Angerburg in the Diocese of Warmia .
