Geographical location

Ginie located seven kilometers east of the village Kalinowo in Prawdziska north outgoing from the further Augustow leading remote Straße 16 . It lies directly on the border with the Polish Podlaskie Voivodeship , before 1945 as the easternmost point of the German Empire on the German-Polish border.

history

The place Gingen was founded in 1471.

With the Prussian territorial reform of May 27, 1874, Gingen belonged administratively as a rural community to the district of Kallinowen in the district of Lyck , which included the communities of Alt Czymochen , Dorschen , Gingen, Iwaschken , Kallinowen , Kokosken , Kowahlen, Maaschen , Marczynowen , Pientken and Trentowsken (11 communities) included.

On December 1, 1910, 226 residents were still registered in Gingen.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Gingen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Gingen, 160 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

In 1931 the district of Kallinowen was restructured with the now associated villages Blumental , Dluggen , Dorschen, Finsterwalde , Gingen, Hennenberg , Iwaschken, Kallinowen, Kolleschnicken, Kreuzborn , Maaschen, Martinshöhe and Prawdzisken .

In 1933 there are 186 inhabitants registered in Gingen, in 1939 Gingen had 180 inhabitants.

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Gingen , which was part of the German Empire ( East Prussia ) , fell to Poland. The resident German population, as far as they had not fled, was largely expelled after 1945 and replaced by new citizens from other parts of Poland in addition to the traditional Masurian minority. The place was renamed Ginie.

From 1975 to 1998 Ginie belonged to what was then the Suwałki Voivodeship , then joined the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1999 . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Kalinowo association .

Religions

Until 1945 Gingen was parish in the Evangelical Church in Prawdzisken (1934-1945 Reiffenrode , Polish Prawdziska ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the local Roman Catholic Church of St. Andrew in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Ginie is still a Catholic part of Prawdziska , whose church “St. Apostle Andreas “is now included in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents orientate themselves towards the parish in the district town Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
