Mieduniszki Wielkie ( German Groß Medunischken , 1938 to 1945 Großmedien ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community of Banie Mazurskie (German Benkheim ) in the powiat Gołdapski ( Goldap district ).
Geographical location
Mieduniszki Wielkie is located on a loop of the Angerapp ( Polish: Węgorapa ) and only a few hundred meters south of the Polish-Russian border in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The district town of Gołdap (Goldap) is 21 kilometers to the east. The former district capital Darkehmen (1938 to 1945 Angerapp, Russian Osjorsk ) is located on Russian territory and is eleven kilometers to the north.
history
The Gutsdorf, once called Madunischken , has been mentioned since 1539. Name forms are: Medunisken (after 1565), Maidunischken (before 1577) and Groß Medunischken , also Medunischken without an addition (until 1938).
The place was shaped in its history by the great estate, which was administered in 1523 by the Counts of Schlieben . In the 18th and 19th centuries it was owned by the von Fahrenheid auf Beynuhnen ( Russian Uljanowskoje ), after which it was inherited by Anna von Bujack, who married the later major general Eduard Schmidt von Altenstadt , in whose family the estate remained until 1945.
In 1874, Groß Medunischken and six other places were incorporated into the newly established district of Groß Sobrost ( Zabrost Wielki in Polish ), which - from 1939 only called "District Sobrost" - existed until 1945 and became the Darkehmen district (1939 to 1945 "Angerapp district “Called) in the administrative district of Gumbinnen belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Great Medunischken merged on September 30, 1928 with the Ramberg estate ( Russian Juchowo, no longer existent ) to form the new rural community Medunischken.
Groß Medunischken had 215 inhabitants in 1910. Their number rose - after the merger with Ramberg - to 281 by 1933 and remained almost constant at 280 until 1939.
On June 3, 1938, (Groß) Medunischken was renamed "Großmedien" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.
As a result of the war, the village and southern East Prussia became part of Poland in 1945 . Today it is part of the rural community Banie Mazurskie in the powiat Gołdapski , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Religions
Before 1945, Groß Medunischken was in the Protestant church Szabienen / Schabienen (1938 to 1945 Lautersee, Polish Żabin ) in the Darkehmen / Angerapp church district in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and also in the Catholic parish Goldap in the dean's office Masuria II (seat: Johannisburg , Polish Pisz ) parish in the Diocese of Warmia .
Today the population of Mieduniszki Wielkies mainly belongs to the parish Żabin in the Gołdap deanery in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland or to the church in Gołdap , a branch church of Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
Individual buildings
The old manor house burned down in World War I and was rebuilt in neo-baroque style. In 1922 it burned down again and was rebuilt in the original style. The house, surrounded by a large park, has been preserved to this day. After 1945 a Soviet state estate ran here until its dissolution. After that, the building began to decline. Twice it came into private hands afterwards, there was even a plan to expand the mansion into a private pension. In 2003, however, it fell into flames again. Since then, he has been threatened with decay.
