Dunajek ( German  Groß Duneyken , 1928–1938 Duneyken , 1938–1945 Duneiken (Kr. Goldap) ) 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

Dunajek is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the northeastern edge of the Borkener Forest (also: Borker Heide, Polish: Puszcza Borecka). It is 15 kilometers to the north to the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) .

history

The small village called Dunaykhenn at the time was founded in 1564. After 1785 the name form Groß Duneyken appeared , from 1928 then without an addition and from 1938 to 1945 in the spelling Duneiken (Kr. Goldap) . Before 1945 it was a widely scattered village with two estates and a steam mill .

When the Altenbude district (in Polish: Siedlisko ) was newly established in 1874 , Groß Duneyken came to this district, which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910, Great Duneyken had 320 residents. On September 30, 1928, the rural communities of Groß Duneyken and Wiersbianken (1938–1945 Lichtenhain, Polish Wierzbianki) and the manor district of Blandau (no longer existent) merged to form the new community of Duneyken (based in the previous Groß Duneyken). The total number of inhabitants was 454 in 1933 and was still 390 in 1939. The municipality of Duneyken was renamed Duneiken on June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 in the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign .

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland with southern East Prussia in 1945 and has been known as Dunajek since then . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish: sołectwo) and a locality within the urban and rural municipality Gołdap in the powiat Gołdapski , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs.

Religions

Until 1945 the population of Duneyken was almost without exception Protestant denomination; the village belonged to the parish of the church of Grabowen (1938-1945 Arnswald, Polish Grabowo) in the parish of Goldap within the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . After the local population fled and were expelled , only a few Protestant church members still live in Dunajek. They now belong to the parish in the city of Gołdap , a branch of the parish in Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

Before 1945 the few Catholic church members were oriented towards the parish in Goldap - at that time located in the Diocese of Warmia . Since 1945 the number of Catholics in Dunajek has increased due to Polish immigration. They are looked after by the newly established parish in Grabowo . It is part of the Gołdap deanery in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
