history

Little evidence can be found about the founding and history of Maudannen . Until 1945, it is regarded as the town of the filippians established rural community Eckertsdorf ( Polish Wojnowo ) in Sensburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Maudannen is mentioned in the 19th century as the location of a monastery of the Philipponen sect together with the monasteries in Onufrigowen ( Polish Onufryjewo ) and in Eckertsdorf ( Wojnowo ). While the Onufrigowener monastery burned down, the Maudanner women's monastery was left by the nuns because they had acquired the nicer Eckertsdorf monastery, whose monks had gone to Russia. The Eckertsdorfer monastery was the last Philipponen monastery in Germany.

In war-induced Maudannen 1945 came with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Maidan". Until December 31, 1973 it belonged to the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), since then to the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ). It is incorporated into Wojnowo (Eckertsdorf) and thus a locality within the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) , until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

On the ecclesiastical side, Maudannen was involved on the Protestant side until 1945 after Alt Ukta in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and on the Catholic side in Sensburg in the Diocese of Ermland .

Today Majdan belongs to the Evangelical Petrikirche in Ukta in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and to the Catholic Exaltation of the Cross in Ukta in the Diocese of Ełk of the Polish Catholic Church .
