Lwowiec (German Löwenstein ) is a village in Poland in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the powiat Bartoszycki and the Gmina Sępopol .

geography

Lwowiec is located in northern Poland, about eight kilometers south of the Polish state border with the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast . Neighboring villages are Dzietrzychowo and Dobroty in the north, Marłuty in the south and Leśniczówka Stary Dwór and Romankowo in the west .

history

The construction of today's Lwowiec took place in 1366 according to Kulmer law with the approval of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Winrich von Kniprode . The village had an area of ​​64  Włóka . The village received the hand-fest in 1386 from the Commander of Balga . The village was mortgaged by the elector in 1620. In order not to become dependent on the nobility, the peasants took out a mortgage loan and used it to redeem the elector's pledge. The pledgee, possibly one of Dönhoff's , was angry about it and had Schulzen von Löwenstein flogged for it. In the middle of the 16th century the church became part of the parish in Garbno . In 1785 there were 37 houses in the village.

At the end of the Second World War , the area was taken by the Red Army and subsequently passed to Poland. In 1970 there was an eight-class elementary school, a library and a 45-seat cinema in Lwowiec, which now has 276 inhabitants. In 1973 Lwowiec became the seat of a Schulzenamt ( sołectwo ) in the Skandawa municipality to which the Kościelne settlement belonged. In 1977 the municipality of Skandawa was dissolved and Lwowiec became part of the municipality of Sępopol.

Church building

church

The village church was built between 1372 and 1374. The hall building received a tower with substructure and high niche around 1400. Based on the church of Rastenburg ( Kętrzyn ), the east gable was 7-part. In 1680 the church was restored. The ceiling painting was renewed in the 18th century. The organ was built by Johann Preuß in Königsberg (Prussia) in 1773/75 . In 1800 the gable had to be rebuilt after a collapse and was Gothicized in the process. On January 17, 1818, a storm damaged the church tower; repairs were carried out in the 1870s. In 1932 parts of the ceiling painting from the 15th century were exposed. The altar from the 15th century has been preserved.

Parish

Löwenstein was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. From 1535 - after the Reformation was introduced - until 1554, the church in Dietrichsdorf (now in Polish: Dzietrzychowo) was connected to Löwenstein. In 1554 the parish of Laggarben (Garbno) came to Löwenstein for a long time, which at that time belonged to the Rastenburg (Kętrzyn) inspection . Until 1945 Löwenstein was then a parish in the parish of Gerdauen within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

A predominantly Roman Catholic population has lived in Lwowiec since 1945 . It is now the seat of the parish Matki Bożej Szkalerznej in the deanery Sępopol (Schippenbeil) in the Archdiocese of Warmia of the Catholic Church in Poland . As before 1554, Dzietrzychowo (Dietrichsdorf) is a branch municipality. Protestant church members living here are integrated into the parish of Bartoszyce (Bartenstein) , which belongs to the parish of Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
