Gumniska ( German  Silzkeim ) is a small village in Poland in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ).

Geographical location

Gumniska is located on the river Liebe ( Liwna in Polish ) about three kilometers south of Barciany and about 13 kilometers north of the district town of Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) . The border with the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast runs 14 kilometers north.

history

Today's Gumniska was laid out in 1394 as a manor with an area of ​​25 Włóka under Kulmer law and mentioned in 1528 as Sylszkaymm. The name is derived from the Prussian "sylo" and "caymis, keims" and means heath village. The current Polish name is derived from "gumnisko" (space between the threshing floor and other buildings in the courtyard). In 1817 there were seven residential buildings with 64 residents in the settlement. In 1910, 82 people lived on the estate.

In 1874, Silzkeim was incorporated with the Chausseehaus Silzkeim residential area at Reichsstrasse 141 (today: Voiwodschaftsstrasse 591 ) in the newly established district of Rodehlen ( Rodele in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Rastenburg .

On September 30, 1928, the Silzkeim manor district gave up its independence and merged with the rural community and also the Dombehnen manor district ( Dębiany in Polish ) and the Rodehlen community to form the new rural community Rodehlen.

When all of southern East Prussia fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Silzkeim was also affected. It received the Polish form of the name "Gumniska". Due to an administrative reform, the village came to the Olsztyn Voivodeship in 1975 . Since its dissolution, Gumniska has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

church

Until 1945, Silzkeim was parish in the Protestant church of Barten in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic church of Rastenburg in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Gumniska belongs to Barciany with regard to both denominations : to the Catholic parish Herz-Mariä Barciany in the Archdiocese of Warmia and to the Protestant parish there, a branch of the Johanneskirche Kętrzyn in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
