Geographical location
The city is located in the historical region of East Prussia , on the Łyna (Alley) , about 25 kilometers north of Olsztyn (Allenstein) . The Olsztyn Lake District extends south of the city as part of the Masurian Lake District .
history
1325 the place in the Gudicus landscape in the old Prussian district Glottowia (Glottau), a Untergau of Pogesanien , was first mentioned as Guthinstat . The city was built in 1326. Founded by the Bishop of Warmia , the regularly rectangular settlement area replaced an old Prussian refuge. The descendants of the settlers from Lower Silesia preserved their dialect, so that a Lower Silesian language island existed in Guttstadt until 1945. The name was derived from the Prussian "gudde" bushes. According to medieval custom, the name was literally Latinized to Bona Civitas , and was converted to Dobre Miasto in the 16th century by the Polish settlers who settled in the neighboring area around Allenstein after the equestrian war . In 1329 Guttstadt received the Kulmische town charter and in 1371 a town hall.
Between 1347 and 1811 Guttstadt was the seat of the collegiate monastery for the Most Holy Redeemer and all saints . The monastery chapter originally included twelve, in 1782 five canons .
Between the Peace of Thorner of 1466 and 1772, the city belonged to the part of Prussia that remained from the Teutonic Order , which was subject to the suzerainty of the Polish crown. With the first partition of Poland in 1772 Guttstadt came to Prussia, where it was from 1818 to 1945 in the county Heilsberg , Administrative district Königsberg , Province of Prussia . The town was a garrison site that in 1782 housed three infantry companies .
At the beginning of June 1807, during the Fourth Coalition War , Guttstadt was the headquarters of the allied Prussians and Russians during the fighting with Napoleonic troops on the Allee and around Heilsberg . On June 6, 1807, the Russians defeated the French here, but then had to retreat to Bartenstein . On June 9th, Napoleon Bonaparte stayed in the building of the collegiate monastery.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Guttstadt had a Protestant church, which was built in 1830–1834 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel at the instigation of Friedrich Wilhelm III. had been built, as well as two Catholic churches (including the cathedral), a synagogue (built in 1855), a district court and an iron foundry. The well-attended pilgrimage site Glottau was near Guttstadt . The synagogue was burned down on November 9, 1938 ; later the Jewish community was forced to sell the building to the NSDAP.
At the end of the Second World War , the city was partially destroyed in the spring of 1945. After the end of the war, Guttstadt was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, together with the southern half of East Prussia. The immigration of Polish civilians began. Guttstadt received its current Polish name Dobre Miasto .
