Church building

Church in Dubeninki

The first church was built in Dubeningken in 1620. In the following two hundred years, three more buildings were necessary. The third church - a wooden structure - was so badly damaged by a hurricane in 1818 that a fourth church building was necessary in 1822, now made of field stones and bricks . The current church was built in 1903/04 and has survived to this day. Wall paintings and glass windows were created by the brothers Rudolf and Otto Linnemann from Frankfurt around 1906 .

The church, previously used as a Protestant church, was expropriated in 1945 in favor of the Catholic Church. She received a new consecration with the name Kościół św. Andrzeja Boboli (Church of St.  Andrew Bobola ).

Parish

Before 1945, the population of Dubeningken was almost exclusively of the Protestant denomination. In 1620 a parish of its own was founded in Dubeningken, after a connection to the one in Szittkehmen (Polish Żytkiejmy) had existed. Originally for inspection Gumbinnen (Russian today: Gusev) belong, was the parish then Dubeningken to 1945 in the parish of Goldap in the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union incorporated.

The Hubertus Chapel and the hunting lodge in Rominter Heide with the imperial couple

The village of Jagdhaus Rominten (until 1897 Theerbude , then until 1918 Imperial Rominten , Russian: Raduschnoje) in the southeast of the Rominter Heide (Polish: Puszcza Romincka, Russian: Krasni Les), which is now on Russian territory , also belonged to the parish Dubeningken . Here Kaiser Wilhelm II had a Norwegian-style stave church built in the immediate vicinity of his newly built hunting lodge in 1893 : the Hubertus Chapel .

After 1945, as a result of flight and displacement, the number of German residents and thus also the Protestant church members in the Dubeningken parish, which was also divided by the demarcation of the border between Poland and the Soviet Union, fell. Poles who were displaced from their homeland and who were predominantly Catholic settled in the village, now called Dubeninki . Since 1962 the parish Dubeninki exists in the dean's office Filipów in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church . Protestant church members living here now belong to the parish in Gołdap , which is a subsidiary parish of the church in Suwałki (Suwalken) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
