Lenkupie ( German Lengkupchen , 1938 to 1945 Lengenfließ ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and the seat of a Schulzenamt within the rural community Dubeninki ( Dubeningken , 1938 to 1945 Dubeningen) in the Gołdap district (Goldap) .
Geographical location
Lenkupie is located in the extreme northeast of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship on the southeast edge of the Rominter Heide (Polish: Puszcza Romincka). The northern local border is also the Polish-Russian state border, and only six kilometers to the east was the eastern border of the German Empire .
history
The former Laankuszen , then and now only a small village, found different forms of name in its history: Laankupenen (around 1565), Lauckupenen (before 1589), Lengkupgen (after 1736), Lenkupchen (after 1818), then Lengkupchen .
In 1874 the village was incorporated into the newly established district of Adlersfelde , which - rearranged to "District Unterfelde " in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
153 inhabitants were registered in Lengkupchen in 1910. Their number decreased to 134 by 1933 and was still 122 in 1939.
In the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign , Lengkupchen was given the name "Lengenfließ" on June 3, 1938.
As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia , where it was given the Polish place name "Lenkupie". The village, which was last inhabited by 21 people, is now a village with a Sołectwo (Schulzenamt) belonging to the Gmina Dubeninki group in the Gołdapski powiat and within the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Religions
The majority of Lengkupchen's population before 1945 was of the Protestant denomination. The village was part of the parish of the Szittkehmen church, which belonged to the Goldap parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholics were oriented towards the parish in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .
Since 1945 the mostly Catholic population has belonged to Żytkiejmy , whose former Protestant church now serves as a parish church. She is the dean's office Filipów in the diocese Elk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland assigned. The few Protestant church members are part of the parish in Gołdap , which is a subsidiary of the parish in Suwałki and belongs to the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poland .

A train connection via the train station in Żytkiejmy no longer exists since the Gumbinnen – Goldap railway was closed after 1945 as a result of the war.
