Gaj ( German (Passenheimer) Stadtförsterei ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Pasym (urban and rural municipality Passenheim ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).
geography
Gaj is located on the northwest bank of the Great Kalbensee ( Jezioro Kalwa in Polish ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 18 kilometers northwest of the district town of Szczytno ( Ortelsburg in German ).
In the place of today's forest settlement (Polish: Osada Leśna ), the city forester's office of Passenheim (Polish: Pasym ), officially called Passenheim city forester's office , was located before 1945 . With its 5 inhabitants (in the 1905 census year) it was a place to live in the town of Passenheim in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . Today a small settlement has arisen here, which is integrated as a partially independent village into the urban and rural municipality of Pasym in the Powiat Szczycieński .
Ecclesiastically, the city forester's office belonged to the city of Passenheim until 1945, both on the Protestant and Catholic sides. The same goes for the Osada leśna Gaj today.
