Kadyny [ kaˈdɨnɨ ] ( German Cadinen or Kadinen ) is a village in the municipality of Tolkmicko (Tolkemit) in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in Poland, northeast of Elbląg (Elbing) on the Frischer Haff on the Baltic Sea .

history

The first mention of a settlement on the site of Kadyny comes from a document from 1255, in which the place is mentioned as terra Kadinensis . In 1354 it was called Kudien . The name is derived from the Prussian “kudas” and means “lean, miserable”. The Cadina was an old Prussian castle that was located where a monastery ruin has been preserved. According to legend, the name goes back to Cadina, the daughter of a Prussian chief.

From 1415 the Baysen family owned the place. The Cadinen estate has changed hands several times, including being owned by the von Schlieben family from 1624 to 1787 . Around 1720 the family had a stone two-story manor house built, which was later rebuilt several times. After the Prussian general Wilhelm von Schwerin acquired the manor in 1787, extensive changes were made to the buildings and the surrounding area. This is how the Cadiner Chaussee was laid out. In the period that followed, the estate changed hands more often, including Gotthilf Christoph Struensee from 1804 to 1814.

In 1898, the indebted Braunsberg district administrator Arthur Birkner left the country estate to the German Kaiser Wilhelm II , who had it expanded into his summer residence.

Since then, Cadinen has also been called a castle . For the emperor, the great forests around the town in a topographically highly structured landscape with a steep coast to the Frischen Haff were initially interesting for the emperor. The emperor immediately placed these forests under protection in order to be able to organize hunts here . In 1904, Wilhelm initiated the establishment of a majolica workshop on the site, the products of which were used as Cadiner tiles at several subway stations in Berlin , where Kadiner Strasse was so named in 1902 , at the Old Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg and other representative buildings.

He had a representative stud built in which both Trakehner and Holstein horses were bred. From 1899, the emperor's builders not only built the stud farm and the imperial residence, but also redesigned the entire site. Cadinen became a seaside resort. After the Second World War , the People's Republic of Poland took over the stud, which after 1989 also mastered the transition to the Third Polish Republic . The whole place has been placed under a preservation order and has become a popular destination for tourism .
