Mintowo ( German Mintwiese ) is an orphaned local authority in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Srokowo (rural community Drengfurth ) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ).

Geographical location

Mintowo is located in the northern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, twelve kilometers southeast of the former district town of Gerdauen (now Russian Schelesnodoroschny ) and 22 kilometers north of the current district metropolis of Kętrzyn ( German Rastenburg ).

history

The former Mintwiese was founded around 1437 and originally consisted of a small farm. In 1874, the Mintwiese manor district was incorporated into the newly established Bajohren district (1938 to 1945: Großblankenfelde district, today Bajory Wielkie in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Gerdauen . In 1905 the manor district had 78 inhabitants in six houses.

On September 30, 1928, the Mintwiese manor district gave up its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Löcknick ( Łęknica in Polish ).

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland . This also affected Mintwiese, which now received the Polish form of the name “Mintowo”. The place is now an "Opuszczona osada" ("abandoned settlement"). It lies in the area of the rural community Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945 Mintwiese was parish in the Protestant Church of Assaunen and in the Church of Molthainen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union , as well as in the Catholic Church of St. Bruno Insterburg (today : Chernjachowsk in Russian ).

Today Mintowo belongs on the Catholic side to the parish Asuny in the Archdiocese of Warmia , on the Protestant side to the Church Srokowo , a branch church of the Johanneskirche Kętrzyn within the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
