Kolniszki [ kɔlˈniʂki ] ( German Collnischken , 1938 to 1945 Burgfelde ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Geographical location

Kolniszki is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, southeast of the district town of Gołdap (Goldap), not far from the 268-meter-high Castle Hill (Polish: Zameczna Góra), which is located in the middle of a military area (tereny wojskowe).

history

The small village with the former name Schloßberg was founded around 1500 next to a Prussian refugee castle . In the years 1709 to 1711 the great plague claimed many victims here.

In 1874 the town was in the newly built office district incorporated Goldap mill, which - July 25, 1939 in " District Bodenhausen " (until 1938: Butt Kuhnen, Polish: Botkuny) renamed - existed until 1945 and for district Goldap in Administrative district Gumbinnen of belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .

While 430 inhabitants were registered in Collnischken in 1895, their number was 360 in 1910, 459 in 1933 and 431 in 1939.

In the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign , the village was renamed "Burgfelde" in 1939. Seven years later in the aftermath of the war it was assigned to Poland , the place was given the Polish name "Kolniszki" and is now a small town in the Gołdap municipality in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

In 1570 the intention was to turn the then Schloßberg into a church village. In a dispute with Gurnen (Polish: Górne ) , the plan was thwarted in favor of Goldaps , who was able to build the later Old Church and to whose parish Collnischken belonged until 1945. It was thus in the Protestant parish of Goldap within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholics belonged to Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .

Since 1945 the population of Kolniszki has been predominantly Catholic, and the Old Church in Gołdap is now its parish church within the Gołdap Dean's Office in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living here belong to the parish in Gołdap, which is now a subsidiary of the Suwałki parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

Collnischken received a school building in 1801. The teachers created a local chronicle that could be saved after the war.
