Muntowo [ munˈtɔvɔ ] ( German Muntowen , 1938 to 1945 Muntau ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Mrągowo ( rural community Sensburg ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).
Geographical location
Muntowo is located on the north bank of the Ixtsee ( Polish Jezioro Juksty ) in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, five kilometers northeast of the district town of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ).
history
The village, called Montow around 1785 and Alt Muntowen until around 1928 , was founded in 1437. On April 8, 1874, the place was Amtsdorf and thus eponymous for an administrative district . It existed until 1945 and belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Muntowen, 180 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
Seven places were incorporated into the Muntowen district - renamed "Muntau district" on November 15, 1938:

Around 1928 the new rural community Muntowen was formed from the communities of Alt- and Neu Muntowen . It was on June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 for political and ideological reasons preventing foreign-appearing place names in "Muntau" renamed .
As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Muntowo”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn (Allenstein) voivodeship, since then part of the Warmia-Masurian voivodeship.

religion
Protestant church
On the evangelical side, Old and New Muntowen and Muntowen (Muntau) were parish before 1945 in the parish land of the parish church Sensburg ( Polish Mrągowo ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The ecclesiastical connection to the district town still exists today in the affiliation to the parish now called St. Trinity , now in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
Catholic Church
Before 1945, the Catholic church members belonged to St. Adalbert's Church in the district town of Sensburg within the then diocese of Warmia . This church is still today the parish church for Muntowo, but today it is assigned to the Archdiocese of Warmia of the Polish Catholic Church .
traffic
Muntowo is located on the important Polish state road 59 (formerly German Reichsstraße 140 ), which runs in a north-south direction . It now connects the two district towns of Giżycko ( German Lötzen ) and Mrągowo (Sensburg) with Rozogi (Friedrichshof) , right on the border with the Masovian Voivodeship . Since the district town of Mrągowo no longer has a connection to the Polish rail network, the railway station there closest to the village of Muntowo has also been closed to this village.
