Geographical location

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

history

The formerly known as Groß Gerrelischken was founded before 1695 and before 1945 consisted of a few large and small farms. Before 1818 the village was called Groß Girrehlischken , after 1818 Gerelischken and until 1938 Gerehlischken .

From 1874 to 1945 it was incorporated into the Altenbude district (in Polish: Siedlisko ), which belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Gerehlischken had 63 inhabitants. Their number was already 77 in 1933 and dropped to 60 by 1939.

During the Nazi renaming action Gerehlischken received on 3 June (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 the name Gerwalde . When the village came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war with all of East Prussia , it was given the Polish form of the name Gieraliszki . Today it is part of the Gołdap City and Rural Municipality in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

The majority Protestant population Gerehlischkens and Gerwaldes was parish until 1945 in the parish of the Church of Grabowen (1938-1945 Arnswald, Polish Grabowo) in the parish of Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . Since 1945, the Protestant church members have been oriented towards the parish in Gołdap, a branch parish of the Suwałki parish in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

Before 1945, the few Catholic residents were assigned to the parish in Goldap - at that time in the Diocese of Warmia - the majority now belong to the newly established parish in Grabowo within the Gołdap Dean's Office in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .
