Mirowo ( German  Mirau ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Dźwierzuty (rural community Mensguth ) in the Powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ).

Geographical location

Mirowo is located 1.4 kilometers east of the Great Schobensee ( Polish Jezioro Sasek Wielki ) in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 14 kilometers north of the district town of Szczytno ( German  Ortelsburg ).

history

Mirau was founded on February 15, 1861. The local office was called "Abbau Plaswich" up until then, and around 1900 the name was spelled Mierau . The place consisted of a large courtyard and until 1945 was a residential area within the municipality of Mensguth Dorf ( Dźwierzuty in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1905 Mirau had four residents.

As a result of the war, Mirau came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Mirowo”. Today's hamlet ( Osada in Polish ) is currently not inhabited, and there are no buildings. The local office belongs to the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Until 1945 Mirau was parish in the Evangelical Church of Mensguth in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of Mensguth in the diocese of Warmia at that time . Today Mirowo still belongs to the church village now called Dźwierzuty in the Catholic Archdiocese of Warmia or in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
