Modgarby ( German  Modgarben ) is a Polish village in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the Gmina Barciany (Barten) . Modgarby is a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo ), to which no other villages belong today.

Geographical location

The village is located on the river Liebe ( Polish Liwna ), about ten kilometers south of the Polish border with the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast and 19 kilometers northwest of the district town of Kętrzyn ( German  Rastenburg ).

history

The farming village was first mentioned in 1339. The area included in the settlement was nine Włóka . or 15 hooves. The Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Dietrich von Altenburg had given Nicolaus Brunsereyte this area.

In 1808 there was a primary school in the village, which was attended by 20 pupils, in 1827 there were 42.

In the middle of the 19th century a Mr. Klapper owned the property. He probably had the manor built, but was probably unable to keep it economically and declared bankruptcy .

1874 came Modgarben as a rural community and as Gutsbezirk for District Dönhofstädt in county Rastenburg in the administrative district of Kaliningrad in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

At the end of the 19th century, the Counts Egloffstein- Sillginnen took over the estate, but gave it up again at the beginning of the 20th century. Hasword was owned by a Mr. Hasword in the 1920s .

On September 30, 1928 the rural community and the estate district of Modgarben and parts of the estate district of Barten domain and the estate district of Sillginnen ( Silginy in Polish ) merged to form the new rural community of Modgarben. It was reclassified on May 23, 1929 in the administrative district Sansgarben (Polish Gęsie Góry ).

At the end of the Second World War the Red Army occupied the area and the village subsequently became part of Poland. In 1970 there was an eight-grade school and a 40-seat cinema in Modgarby. In 1973, after the dissolution of the Gromadas , Modgarby became the seat of a Schulzenamt ( sołectwo ) to which the villages of Anielin ( German  Karolinenhof ), Bogusławki (Groß Bogslack) and Kolwiny (Kolbiehnen) belonged. Modgarby was part of the municipality of Skandawa (Skandau) until 1977 , since then the village has been part of the municipality of Barciany (Barten) . In the 1970s, the front of the manor house was replaced by a concrete parapet.

Until 1998 Modgarby was part of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , then part of the newly formed Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Population numbers

In 1785 there were 17 residential buildings in Modgarben. In the year the estate and the village together counted 130 inhabitants, in 1910 there were 137. In May 1939, 307 people lived in the merged rural community.

After the village became part of the People's Republic of Poland , 307 people lived here in 1970, compared to 87 in 2011.

church

Until 1945 Modgarben was assigned to two parishes on the Protestant side : the estate and parts of the village belonged to the Barten Church , the remaining parts of the village to the Groß Wolfsdorf Church . Both parishes were in the area of ​​the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . On the Catholic side , Modgarben was parish after Korschen (in Polish: Korsze ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Modgarby belongs to the Roman Catholic parish Barciany in what is now the Archdiocese of Warmia , and also to the Protestant community in Barciany, which is a subsidiary of the St. John's Church in Kętrzyn in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
