history

Local history

The former Glaubitten was founded in 1362 when the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order , Winrich von Kniprode , granted a Prussian eight Hufen land under Kulmischen law . The place was shaped by a very large estate .

In 1830 Johann Leopold Boehm from Königsberg (Prussia) ( Kaliningrad in Russian ) took over the estate, cultivated the heavy soil and cultivated grain, potatoes and sugar beets. He also started breeding horses and cattle.

The town of Korschen ( Korsze in Polish ) owes it to his son Otto Boehm that it developed into an important railway junction : the town of Schippenbeil ( Sępopol in Polish ) refused to build the Pillau – Königsberg – Lyck – Prostken railway , while the Glaubitten estate owners Otto Boehm provided the necessary building land for a railway connection in Korschen. A train station was planned in Korschen with a siding for Gut Glaubitten - and the right for the landowner to drive to Königsberg free of charge with his own saloon car. The first train ran on November 1, 1867. In 1871, the construction of the Berlin – Thorn – Insterburg – Tilsit – Memel railway through Korschen followed and crossed the southern line here.

Otto Boehm was also the builder of the neo-Gothic mansion from 1853.

On April 30, 1874 Believe activities office Village and thus its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and the county Rastenburg in the administrative district of Kaliningrad in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Otto Boehm's one son , Julius, took over the Glaubitten estate in 1896. His brother Otto married the later founder of the rural women's association, Elisabet Steppuhn, and received the Lamgarben estate ( Garbno in Polish ) for their wedding .

373 inhabitants were registered in Glaubitten in 1910. After the merger of the rural community of Groß Langwalde and the manor district of Glaubitten to form the new rural community of Glaubitten on September 30, 1928, the number of inhabitants rose: in 1933 there were 461 and in 1939 it was 447.

In 1939 the estate was 1267 hectares in size. The last German owner was Jochen Boehm , who was drafted into the Volkssturm and fell on January 29, 1945. The manor house built in 1853 burned down during acts of war in the same month.

When the whole of southern East Prussia was surrendered to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , this also affected the town of Glaubitten. He received the Polish name form "Głowbity" and is now a small settlement ( Polish Osada ) within the urban and rural community of Korsze (Korschen) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
