Kowalik (also: Kowalik Piski , German  Kowallik , 1938 to 1945 Müllershof ) is a village in the Nida (Nieden) district of Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny- , 1938 to 1945 Lower Sea / -Nieden) in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

Kowalik is located on the eastern bank of the Lower Lake ( Jezioro Nidzkie in Polish ) in the south-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. It is 17 kilometers to the east to the district town of Pisz ( Johannisburg in German ).  

history

In 1698 the small town called Kowallig after 1785, Kowallick after 1818 and Kowallik until 1938 was founded. Originally it consisted of four small villages that no independent place, but rather in their entirety a dwelling place in the rural community Nieden ( Polish Nida ) formed and until 1945 the Johannesburg district in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province East Prussia belonged to. Since 1938 Kowallik has had the place name "Müllershof".

In 1945, as a result of the war, the municipality of Nieden was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia . The former Kowallik now received the Polish form of the name Kowalik , probably also: Kowalik Piski , and until 1954 belonged to the Gromada and Gmina Ukta (Old Ukta) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ). With the place Nida , Kowalik then came to the Gromada Ruciane (Rudczanny , 1938 to 1945 Niedersee) , which was reclassified to Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ) in 1955 and merged with Ruciane in 1958. When Ruciane and Nida were raised to the town of Ruciane-Nida on January 1, 1966 , Kowalik probably went up in the Nida district.

Religions

Before 1920 Kowallik was parish on the Protestant side in the parish Alt Ukta ( Polish Ukta ), then in the newly formed church village Rudczanny in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Johannisburg in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Kowalik belongs to the parish in Ruciane-Nida in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the parish of Pisz - with the Wejsuny (Weissuhnen) branch church - in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
