Mniszki ( German Nonnenberg ) is a small town in the northeast of the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina (rural community) Budry ( Buddern ) and is located in the powiat Węgorzewski ( Angerburg district ).

geography

Mniszki is located about 18 kilometers north of the district town of Węgorzewo ( Angerburg ) directly on the border with Russia 's Kaliningrad region ( Königsberg region (Prussia) ) and can be reached on a rather impassable road from Ołownik ( Launingken , 1938–1945 Sanden ). Before 1945, the neighboring town, three kilometers away, was also a train station on the route from the cities of Gumbinnen (Russian: Gussew) and Darkehmen (1938–1946 Angerapp , Russian: Osjorsk) to Angerburg, which are now on Russian territory, and which are no longer in operation today .

history

The village formerly called "Nonnenberg" was before 1945 as well as Alt Eszergallen (1936–1938 Alt Eschergallen , 1938–1946 Sandenwalde ), Neusorge and Wald Illmen (the latter two, no longer existing places are now on Russian territory) a district of the community Launingken , which was the eponymous place and administrative seat of the Launingken district between 1874 and 1945. It belonged - from 1939 to 1945 renamed the "District Sanden" - until 1945 to the district of Darkehmen (1939–1945 district of Angerapp ) in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1905 Nonnenberg had 33 residents in just one dwelling.

As a result of the Second World War , Nonnenberg came to Poland, was renamed Mniszki in 1945 and moved from the Darkehmen district to the Powiat Węgorzewski ( Angerburg district ), now located in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Suwałki Voivodeship ). Mniszki belongs to the rural community Budry ( Buddern ) and is assigned to the Schulzenamt Olszewo Węgorzewskie ( Olschöwen , 1938 to 1945 Kanitz ).

Religions

Until 1945, the predominantly Protestant population of Nonnenberg was parish in the parish of Dombrowken (1938–1945 Eibenburg , since 1945: Dąbrówka). It was part of the Darkehmen church district (1938–1946 Angerapp , since 1946: Osjorsk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

The now almost exclusively Catholic population of Mniszki also belongs to the church in Dąbrówka , which is no longer a parish, but a subsidiary church and is subordinate to the Deanery Węgorzewo ( Angerburg ) in the diocese of Ełk ( Lyck ) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant church members now belong to the church in Węgorzewo in the parish Giżycko ( Lötzen ) within the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
