Hermanowa Wola ( German  Hermanawolla , 1928 to 1945 Hermannshorst ) is a small settlement ( Polish osada ) in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the urban and rural community of Ryn (Rhine) in the Giżycki powiat ( Lötzen district ).

Geographical location

Hermanowa Wola is located in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 17 kilometers southwest of the district town Giżycko (Lötzen) and two kilometers east of the city of Ryn (Rhine) .

history

The small manor village, called Hermanawolla until 1929 , was founded in 1709 as a Schatulldorf , consisting mainly of a jug . In 1785 Hermannowolla was named as a casket with two fireplaces , and in 1818 as Hermano-Wolla and köllmisches Gut with one fireplace for eight souls.

When the district of Lawken ( Ławki in Polish ) was formed in 1874 , Hermanawolla was incorporated. He was - in 1938 renamed "District Lauken" - to 1945 and belonged to the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the Hermanawolla manor had 30 inhabitants.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Hermanawolla belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Hermanawolla, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, Hermanawolla lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Lawken (1938 to 1945 Lauken, Polish Ławki), and for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names, Hermanawolla was renamed "Hermannshorst" on October 14, 1929 .

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has been called "Hermanowa Wola" ever since. It is now integrated into the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) Ławki - as a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Hermanawolla was parish in the Evangelical Parish Church of the Rhine in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of St. Adalbert in Sensburg ( Polish Mrągowo ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Hermanowa Wola belongs to the Protestant parish in Ryn in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and to the Catholic parish Church Immaculate Conception of Mary in Ryn in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

Hermanowa Wola is located on a side street that leads from the town of Ryn in an easterly direction to Stara Rudówka (Alt Rudowken , 1938 to 1945 Hammerbruch) . A rail connection has not existed since the Reimsdorf – Rhine railway line of the former Rastenburg small railways with the railway station in Rhine was finally decommissioned in 1971.
