history

The village later called Mertenheim was founded in 1395. In 1785 Martenheim is mentioned as a Köllmisches village with 20 fire places , in 1818 with 27 fire places and 190 inhabitants.

From 1874 to 1945 Mertenheim was incorporated into the Groß Stürlack district (in Polish, Sterławki Wielkie ). He belonged to the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 a total of 374 residents were registered in Mertenheim. Their number decreased to 341 by 1933 and was still 328 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Mertenheim came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Martiany". Today the place is incorporated into the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) Pożarki ( German Pohiebels ) and thus belongs to the Gmina Kętrzyn (rural municipality Rastenburg ) and the powiat Kętrzyński (district Rastenburg ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .  

Religions

Until 1945 Mertenheim was parish in the Evangelical Parish Church Groß Stürlack in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of St. Bruno Lötzen in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Martiany belongs to the chapel community Sterławki Wielkie of the parish Ryn (Rhine) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and to the Catholic parish church in Sterławki Wielkie in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Martiany stop on the Głomno – Białystok railway line

When the railway line from Königsberg (Prussia) through Masuria to Prostken and later on to Brest-Litowsk was built in 1868 , Mertenheim became a separate stop that still exists today, even if the railway line is only operated on Polish territory.

Martiany is located on the important Polish provincial road DW 592 (formerly German Reichsstrasse 135 ), which connects the three districts of Bartoszyce (Bartenstein) , Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) and Giżycko (Lötzen) . Coming from the north a side road from Kronowo (Kronau) ends in Martiany, from the south one from Salpik (Salpkeim) .
