Kamień ( German Kamien , 1938 to 1945 Keilern ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Ruciane-Nida ( urban and rural community Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden ) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ).

Today's hamlet ( Polish Osada ) Kamień, located on the west bank of Lake Beldahn (Polish Jezioro Bełdany ), was founded in 1707 and its core consisted of a brick factory with a few farmsteads. Until 1938 "Kamien" was his place name. In 1874, the place was incorporated into the newly established district of Nikolaiken (Polish: Mikołajki ), which - after 1931 in "District of Bubrowko", 1938 in "District of Biebern" - to the district of Sensburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (from 1905: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian Province of East Prussia belonged. Kamien counted 46 inhabitants in 1910, 30 there were in 1925. On October 1, 1937, Kamien was incorporated into the municipality of Isnothen ( Iznota in Polish ) together with the neighboring village of Gonschor (1938 to 1945 Gonscher , Polish Gąsior ) . For political and ideological reasons of the defense against foreign appearing place names, Kamien was renamed “Keilern” in 1938. Until 1945 the place was a parish in the Protestant church Alt Ukta in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic church Sensburg in the diocese of Warmia .

In 1945 southern East Prussia and with it also boars were transferred to Poland as a result of the war . The place was given the Polish form of name "Kamień" and now belongs to the association of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) in the powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia Voivodeship Assigned to Masuria . In terms of traffic, Kamień is connected to the secondary road from Ruciane-Nida to Iznota via a spur road, while there is no rail connection. Kamień is ecclesiastically oriented towards Ukta : to the parish of the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Petrikirche, a subsidiary church of the parish of Mikołajki in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
