history

The current settlement ( osada in Polish ), called Gneisthöhe until 1945, was called Abbau Nagel before July 22, 1914 and was a small estate. From its origins, the place was a residential area in the municipality of Gneist and therefore closely linked to its history.

In 1945 Gneisthöhe came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish name "Knis-Podewsie". The place is today assigned to the Schulzenamt ( German sołectwo ) Knis and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
