history

The oldest mention of the place Myncwin can be found in 1408 , when the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen awarded Mr. Friedrich von Sapoten land. In 1468 the entire goods complex Rheinswein ( Rańsk in Polish ), Erben ( Orzyny ), Rogallen ( Rogale ) and Mingfen came to the Küchmeister von Sternberg brothers . In 1784 the remainder of the aristocratic Besotzes in Mingfen was divided between four local farmers.

In 1874 Mingfen was incorporated into the newly established Saleschen District (also: Salleschen, Zalesie in Polish ) - separately in Adlig Mingfen and Königlich Mingfen - which - changed to " Rheinswein District " in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Ortelsburg district in East Prussia . Before 1898, the nobles and royal Mingfen were merged to form the rural community of Mingfen.

In 1910 706 inhabitants were registered in Mingfen. Their number rose to 774 by 1933 and totaled 773 in 1939. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Mingfen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or the connection to Poland. In Mingfen, 487 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

In war-induced Mingfen 1945 came with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Miętkie". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) and a place in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Manesguth) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
