Kajmy ( German  Kaymen ) is a small village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship to the urban and rural municipality Pasłęk (Prussian Holland) in the powiat Elbląski (Elbing district) .

Geographical location

Kajmy is located five kilometers northeast of the town of Pasłęk and can be reached via a cul-de-sac that branches off from Voivodeship Road 513 . The nearest train station is Pasłęk on the state railway line from Olsztyn (Allenstein) via Morąg (Mohrungen) to Bogaczewo (Güldenboden) .

history

The manor village, known until 1945 as Kaymen , was incorporated into the newly established district of Angnitte (now in Polish: Anglity) in 1874. Until 1945 it belonged to the district of Preussisch Holland in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the village had 47 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, Kaymen gave up his independence and merged with the neighboring towns of Angnitte and Koppeln (now in Polish: Kopina) to form the rural community of Anguts.

As a result of the Second World War , Kaymen came to Poland with southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name "Kajmy". Today the very small village is a village in the Schulzenamt (sołectwo) Gulbity (Golbitten) within the urban and rural municipality Pasłęk (Prussian Holland) in the powiat Elbląski of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Elbląg Voivodeship ).

Religions

The population of Kaymen - the majority of the Protestant denomination - was ecclesiastically aligned with Prussian Holland (today in Polish: Pasłęk). The neighboring district town was the seat of a Protestant church district within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The church connection to Pasłek remained after 1945.

The inhabitants of Kajmys are today mostly Catholic and assigned to the dean's office Pasłęk I in the diocese of Elbląg of the Catholic Church in Poland . The evangelical parish of Pasłęk is today a branch parish of the parish in Ostróda (Osterode) , which belongs to the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poland .
