Geographical location

The Osada leśna (German forest / forest settlement ) Mościska is located in the southern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 22 kilometers southeast of the district town of Mrągowo (Sensburg) .

history

Before 1938 there was the rural community Galkowen-Nikolaihorst (now Polish: Gałkowo) and the Nikolaihorst forestry (now Polish: Mościska) in the East Prussian district of Sensburg . Between 1938 and 1945, the two places were renamed "Nickelshorst" - village and forestry. The forester's house was a residential area within the community, it was 1.5 kilometers southwest of the village, and in 1905 124 residents were registered there.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Nikolaihorst belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Nikolaihorst, 60 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

In 1945 as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia came to Poland , including the village and the Nickelshorst forestry. Both now received different Polish forms of name: the village was called "Gałkowo" and the forestry "Mościska". Gałkowo is now part of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (German Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) in the powiat Piski (district of Johannisburg ), and Mościska is part of the rural community of Piecki (whip village ) in the powiat Mrągowski (district of Sensburg ).

church

Until 1945, the Nikolaihorst or Nickelshorst forestry was parish in the Protestant Church of Alt Ukta in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic St. Adalbert Church in Sensburg in what was then the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Mościska belongs to the Protestant parish Ukta , a branch of the parish Mikołajki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , and also to the Catholic parish Ukta in the current Archdiocese of Warmia in the Polish Catholic Church .
