Local history

Complaints by residents from 1804 “about the inadequate drainage conditions” are documented, and they were similar in 1824: “The drainage conditions are in dire straits everywhere. In spring, when the snow melts, the water stays there too long, so the meadows only provide sour grass ”. A decisive improvement in the situation actually only occurred in the 1930s with the deepening of the receiving waters, the Deutschwalder Fließ and the shoots .

On July 16, 1874 Fürstenwalde was a village official and thus its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and for district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

church

Church building

Today's church in Księży Lasek replaced the church built in 1815 and 1816 and demolished in 1927 due to dilapidation - a simple wooden structure with a (wooden) tower. Karl Friedrich Schinkel had given the designs for its construction .

In the years 1928 to 1931, today's church building was made of bricks and provided with a roof tower . Inside there is a baroque altar connected to the pulpit , which was brought here from the Friedrichshof church ( Rozogi in Polish ). Some parts are said to come from Isaak Riga from Königsberg (Prussia) (Russian: Kaliningrad ). The Fürstenwalde Church was a Protestant church until 1945. Then it became a Roman Catholic Church, with changes to the structure and other liturgical customs.

Parish

In the year 1816 a Protestant parish was founded in Fürstenwalde, which had its own church and a specially established pastor's office. Until 1945 it was incorporated into the superintendent district of Ortelsburg in the parish of Ortelsburg within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The number of parishioners who lived in eleven parish towns was 1850 in 1925. Flight and expulsion of the local population put an end to Protestant parish life in Księży Lasek after 1945.
