Geographical location

Mojtyny is located in the heart of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , twelve kilometers southeast of the city of Biskupiec (Bishop's Castle ) on the west side of the Jezioro Stromek (Stromsee) . It is 24 kilometers south to the former district town of Ortelsburg ( Szczytno in Polish ). Today's district metropolis Olsztyn (Allenstein) is 40 kilometers to the west.

history

The place was founded around 1468 and was called Moten before 1785 , Moythienen until 1938 and then (until 1945) Moithienen . In the 19th century Moythienen consisted of a rural community and an estate district . In 1874 the rural community and manor district were incorporated into the newly created district of Przytullen (1938–1945 Steinhöhe , today in Polish: Przytuły). This was part of the district Szczytno in the Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 123 registered residents in the rural community of Moythienen and 156 in the manor district. On September 30, 1928, the Moythienen manor was incorporated into the rural community. In 1933 the total population was 373 and in 1939 it remained at 326.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Moythienen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Moythienen (estate and village), 218 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938 with effect from July 16, 1938, the name spelling Moythienens was changed to "Moithienen" for political and ideological reasons.

In 1945, as a result of the war, the local population had to leave the place that was given the Polish name " Mojtyny ". The village is now a Sołectwo (mayor's office) in the Gmina miejsko-wiejska (urban and rural community) Biskupiec (Bishop's Castle) in district Olsztyn (Allenstein) of Warmia and Mazury (1975-1998 Province Olsztyn ).

church

Today the population of Mojtyny is predominantly Catholic and is part of the parish of Kobułty (Kobulten) . She belongs to the deanery Biskupiec Reszelski in the Archdiocese of Warmia in the Catholic Church in Poland .
