Lipnik [ ˈlipnik ] ( German  Lipnik , 1938 to 1945 Falkenhöhe ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Ruciane-Nida ( urban and rural community Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden ) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ).

The small forest settlement ( Polish Osada leśna ) is located two kilometers from the south bank of the Spirdingsee (Polish Jezioro Śniardwy ) in the southeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

history

Before 1945, the village of Forsthaus Lipnik (after 1785 Lipnick , after 1818 Lipneck ), whose forestry belonged to the Johannisburg State Forest, was a residential area within the rural community of Konzewen ( Końcewo in Polish ). She was called from 1938 "Falk height" and belonged until 1945 to the county Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Until the end of the Second World War , Lipnik was also parish in the Protestant village church Groß Weissuhnen 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 .

As a result of the war, the forest settlement came to Poland in 1945, along with all of southern East Prussia , and was given back the previous form of the name “Lipnik”. Today it is part of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.

Ecclesiastically, the place is oriented towards its previous churches, whereby the village church Wejsuny now belongs to the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , and the parish church in Pisz to the Ełk diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
