Geographical location

history

The small village, called Moneta before 1785 , Monehten after 1785 and Monethen until 1938 , was founded in 1564. At the beginning of the 20th century, the large brickworks that stood a thousand meters northwest of the town were of regional importance .

Between 1874 and 1945 Monethen was incorporated into the district of Schareyken ( Szarejki in Polish ). This - renamed in 1938 to "District Schareiken" - belonged to the district of Oletzko - from 1933 to 1945 called "District of Treuburg" - in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 Monethen had 289 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Monethen expanded to include the neighboring community of Gartenberg (until 1909: Gortzitzen, Gorczyce in Polish ) and parts of Danielle (1938 to 1945 Kleinreimannswalde , Daniele in Polish ), which were incorporated. The number of inhabitants rose accordingly to 405 by 1933 and amounted to 333 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Monethen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Monethen, 192 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

The spelling of the place name changed on June 3, 1938 to "Moneten". In 1945 the city came up with the whole southern East Prussia in consequence of the war to Poland and carries since then the Polish form of the name "Monety". The village is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and a village in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
