Milejewo ( German Trunz ) is a village in the powiat Elbląski in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship near the Baltic Sea coast . The village is the seat of the rural community of the same name with around 3400 inhabitants.
geography
The village is located in the former West Prussia , about 17 kilometers northeast of Elbing in the moraine landscape Wysoczyzna Elbląska ( Elbinger Höhe , also Trunzer Berge ). The highest point of the place is the Milejewska Góra (Butter Mountain) with 196.9 m npm height.
history
The village emerged under the name Trunz in the course of the medieval German settlement in the east . On November 22, 1320, the Commander-in-Chief Hermann von Elbing transferred the Schulzenamt and the duties of the locator in Trunz and Königshagen to a Martin .
The parish church of Trunz is a single-nave brick building, built at the beginning of the 14th century. After the Reformation it was the church of the Protestant community. The north tower on the north side was added in 1856–1860, and six wooden apostles remain from an altar consecrated in 1389.
When the rule of the Teutonic Order came to an end ( Battle of Tannenberg ), a long period of growth and peace also came to an end. The following centuries were marked by several armed conflicts, including the Swedish-Polish Wars , the Northern War and the Seven Years War . Around 1785 Trunz was owned by the city of Elbing with 44 fireplaces (households).
After the Second World War , the German population was expelled from Trunz by the local Polish administrative authority . The Poles introduced the place name Milejewo for Trunz . Today there is a high school and two libraries in the village.
