Nawiady ( German Aweyden ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It is located near Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ) and belongs to the rural community Piecki (Peitschendorf) .
Geographical location
Nawiady is north of the Jezioro Nawiady ( German Great Aweyder See ) in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 18 kilometers south of the district town of Mrągowo (Sensburg) .
history
The place was founded in 1397 by the Komtur zu Rhein ( Polish Ryn ) Johann von Schönfeld as part of the branches of the Teutonic Order . On April 8, 1874, it became Amtsdorf and thus gave its name to an administrative district that 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 in the Allenstein voting area , to which Aweyden belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Aweyden, 480 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.
As a result of the Second World War, Aweyden came to Poland in 1945 with the entire southern part of East Prussia and, after the expulsion of the German population, received the Polish form of the name “Nawiady”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the community of Piecki (Peitschendorf) in the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), which until 1998 belonged to the Olsztyn Voivodeship and since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
Place name
Before 1785 the village was called Nawiadt . An old legend reports that the founder Johann von Schönfeld rode through the area accompanied by his monarchs and - overwhelmed by the untouched, charming nature with its meadow landscape - exclaimed delightedly “Ah, ah, pastures!”. The name of the village has its origins in the first population who, like the founder of Schoenfeld, came from the Franconian Weiden in the Upper Palatinate .

Church building
A church in Aweyden is mentioned as early as 1437, probably the oldest in Masuria . It was replaced in 1603 by a new building made of plastered field stones, to which a tower with a wooden upper floor was added in 1687. An organ was installed in 1806. The church with its impressive interior has been restored and modernized several times, most recently in the 1990s, when it was previously a Protestant church and was now adapted to changed Catholic worship customs. It now bears the name of St. Joseph .
In the anteroom of the church, the names, dates of birth and death of those who died in the war in the parish of Aweyden from the German period on blackboards have been preserved. There is also a memorial for the German war dead from the period 1914–1918.
Parish
Evangelical
The church in Aweyden was pre-Reformation. The Reformation was introduced here in 1525 . The number of parishioners grew steadily, so that two and sometimes three clergymen did their service here. In 1925, about 7,000 parishioners belonged to the parish , which belonged to the church province of East Prussia in the church of the Old Prussian Union .
After 1945, only a small Protestant community was formed, which had to sell its church to the Catholic community in 1981 after it was illegally occupied by the newly settled Polish citizens. But she still uses the church today. The responsible rectory is that of the St. Trinity Church Mrągowo within the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
Catholic
Before 1945 there were very few Catholics in the Aweyden region - in 1905 only six of the 660 inhabitants of the village were Catholic. They were parish in Kobulten ( Polish Kobułty ) in the Diocese of Warmia . After 1945 a Catholic community was established in Nawiady, which eventually bought the Protestant church and made it its parish church in 1989. The parish belongs to the Deanery Mrągowo I in the Archdiocese of Warmia in the Polish Catholic Church .
Culture and sights
- St. Joseph's Church from 1603

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Streets
Nawiady is conveniently located on the north-south road 59 , which connects Giżycko (Lötzen) and Mrągowo (Sensburg) with Rozogi (Friedrichshof) not far from the border with the Masovian Voivodeship . In Nawiady the Voivodeship Road 601 branches off, which creates a fast connection to the national road 58 in the direction of Szczytno (Ortelsburg) . Subordinate secondary roads lead to the neighboring region.
rails
Nawiady wasn't at any train station. Until 1945, the next train station was in Peitschendorf ( Piecki in Polish ) on the now no longer used railway line Sensburg – Rudczanny / Niedersee .
education
school
The school in Aweyden was founded in 1640. A three-class building was erected in 1913 and is still used for teaching today. The former building comprised the classrooms below and two teacher's apartments above. A third teacher's apartment was in a porch. The unusually large schoolyard was striking.
