Kamionki ( German  Kamionken , 1938 to 1945 Eichicht ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Geographical location

Kamionki is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in the east of the Seesker Höhe (Polish: Wzgórza Szeskie). The district town of Gołdap is located ten kilometers to the northwest.

history

In 1564 the small village - then called Camionken - was founded. In the following years there were different spellings of names: Camniontken (after 1785), Camiontken (after 1789) and Kamionken (until 1938).

In 1874 the village came to the newly established district of Altenbude (Polish: Siedlisko), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . Kamionken had 195 inhabitants in 1910.

On September 30, 1928, the rural community expanded to include the neighboring village of Wilkassen (1938 to 1945: Kleineichicht, Polish: Wilkasy), which was incorporated. The number of inhabitants rose to 278 by 1933 and was already 284 in 1939.

Kamionken, which was renamed "Eichicht" in the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign in 1938 , came to Poland in 1945 following the war with southern East Prussia and has been called "Kamionki" since then. Today the village is part of the Gołdap municipal and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , which was part of the Suwałki Voivodeship until 1998 , and since then has been part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945, Kamionken and its predominantly Protestant population were parish in the parish of the Grabowen Church (1938 to 1945: Arnswald, Polish: Grabowo), which belonged to the Goldap parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The Catholic church members were assigned to the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .

Since 1945 there has been an almost exclusively Catholic population in Kamionki who belong to the parish church in Grabowo in the Ełk diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . On the evangelical side, there is a connection to the parish in Gołdap, which is a subsidiary parish of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Kamionken is located on a side street that branches off the Polish state road DK 65 (formerly German Reichsstraße 132 ) at Kozaki (Kosaken , 1938 to 1945 Rappenhöh) and via Wrotkowo (Friedrichowen , 1938 to 1945 Friedrichau) and Zatyki (Satticken) to Wilkasy (Wilkassen , 1938 to 1945 Kleineichicht) leads.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ a b Whether today's Kamionki is really the earlier Kamionken / Eichicht has not been proven, as the former village is said to have been located about two kilometers further southwest on the Wilkasy / Wilkassen - Nasuty / Nossuten road. But the name equality does exist
