Geographical location

Grunajki is located on the north bank of the Goldap ( Polish Gołdapa ) in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It is 21 kilometers to the former district town of Darkehmen (1938 to 1946: Angerapp, Russian Osjorsk ), which is now in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast ( Königsberg (Prussia) area ) , and 14 kilometers to today's district metropolis Gołdap (Goldap) .

history

In the history of the village there are different forms of name: Grüneycken (after 1745), Grüneicke (after 1818), Groneyken (after 1871) and Gruneyken (until 1938). Between 1874 and 1945 it was assigned to the Rogahlen district , which - renamed "Gahlen District" in 1939 - belonged to the Darkehmen district (called "Angerapp district" from 1939 to 1945) - in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

50 residents were registered in Gruneyken in 1910. Their number rose to 87 by 1933 and was 78 in 1939.

On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Gruneyken expanded to include the Hohenbrück manor district ( Skup in Polish ), which was incorporated. On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938, the spelling of the place name changed to "Gruneiken".

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Grunajki”. Today the place is part of the rural community Banie Mazurskie in the powiat Gołdapski , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945, Gruneyken and its predominantly Protestant population were parish in the parish of the church in Benkheim ( Polish: Banie Mazurskie ) and belonged to the Goldap parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The number of Protestant church members in today's Grunajken has decreased after flight and expulsion. You are now part of the parish in Gołdap , a subsidiary of the parish in Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

The Catholic population Gruneykens was above 1945 Darkehmen (1938 and 1945 was: Osjorsk: Angerapp, Russian) oriented towards whose Parish to Bistum Ermland belonged.
