Gajne ( German  Gaynen ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Piecki ( German  Peitschendorf ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Gajne is located west of the White Lake ( Jezioro Białe in Polish ) in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 16 kilometers southwest of the district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).  

history

The former Gaynen originally emerged as a large estate and as such was called a “noble village with 19 fireplaces” in 1785. In 1874 the manor district Gaynen was incorporated into the newly established district Borowen (1938–1945 Prausken , Polish Borowe ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905–1945 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gaynen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gaynen, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928 Gaynen lost its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring town of Ganthen ( Gant in Polish ).

When all of southern East Prussia was ceded to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Gaynen was also affected. The place received the Polish form of the name Gajne and is today a place in the community of Piecki (whip village ) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
