Leśny Dwór ( German  Grünhof ) is a small settlement in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the urban and rural municipality of Mikołajki ( German  Nikolaiken ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Leśny Dwór is in the north of the Masurian Landscape Protection Park ( Polish Mazurski Park Krajobrazowy ) in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 25 kilometers east of the district town of Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

history

Today's small forest settlement ( Osada leśna in Polish ) was founded in 1751 and initially consisted of a small homestead as a later estate. In 1874 the Grünhof estate was incorporated into the newly established Lucknainen district ( Łuknajno in Polish ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1818 there were 19 residents in Grünhof, in 1867 only 5 and in 1910 7 residents.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Grünhof belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Grünhof, 20 residents voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, the manor districts of Georgenthal ( Urwitałt in Polish ), Lucknainen ( Łuknajno ), Ossa ( Osa ), Pienkowen (no longer existent) and Grünhof were formed into the new rural community Lucknainen.

When all of south East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Grünhof was also affected. The small place received the Polish name form "Leśny Dwór" and is today a place within the urban and rural municipality Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
