Lowzwica ( German Niederwitz ) is a village in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Geographical location

Niedzwica is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, directly on the Polish-Russian state border ( EU external border ). The district town of Gołdap (Goldap) is only four kilometers away.

history

Meschkruppen is the first name of the village, authenticated around 1584, which later made a name for itself as "Gut Niederwitz". Until 1945 it belonged to the town of Goldap and was closely connected to its history. It was part of the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the war, Niederwitz came to Poland with southern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Polish name "Niederzwica". The place is independent again, but belongs to the network of the city and rural community Gołdap in the powiat Gołdapski - until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 the population belonged to the corresponding parishes in Goldap on both the Protestant and the Catholic side . That has not changed since 1945.

traffic

Niederzwica is very far away from the traffic. The village can only be reached via an impassable back road from Gołdap . Before 1945 this led to the village of Groß Dumbeln (1938 to 1946 Erlensee , Russian: Maloje Ischewskoje), which is now on the Russian side and no longer exists .

Until 1945 there was a connection to the Lyck – Insterburg (Ełk – Tschernjachowsk) railway line via the local railway station , which was not put back into operation in the northern area as a result of the war and its use was also discontinued in 1993 in the southern area.
