Janki ( German  Klein Jahnen ) is a small place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community of Banie Mazurskie (Benkheim) in the powiat Gołdapski ( Goldap district ).

Geographical location

Janki is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 20 kilometers southeast of the former district town of Darkehmen (1938 to 1946, Angerapp, Russian Osjorsk ), which is now on Russian territory, and 12 kilometers west of today's district capital Gołdap (Goldap) .

history

At that time Klein Jahnen was a forestry within the Skallischen / Altheide state forest and in 1874 it was moved to the newly established district of Rogahlen ( Polish: Rogale ), which - in 1939, was renamed "District of Gahlen" - until 1945 to the district of Darkehmen (1939 to 1945 "Landkreis Angerapp") ) belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia in the administrative district of Gumbinnen . Klein Jahnen also belonged to this administrative district when the place was incorporated into the rural community of Groß Jahnen ( Jany in Polish ) on September 30, 1928 .

In 1945 Klein Jahnen came to Poland as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Janki”. As a small forest settlement (osada leśna in Polish) it is now part of the Banie Mazurskie rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
