Niemsty ( German  Könitzberg , 1929 to 1945 Gertrudenhof ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ).

Geographical location

The hamlet ( Polish osada ) Niemsty is located in the northeast of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, 13 kilometers northwest of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially also Oletzko , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) . To the south of the town there is an early medieval hill fort with a stone wall in the foreground, which led to archaeological investigations as early as the 19th century.

history

The former Könitzberg essentially consisted of a large courtyard, which was mentioned in 1827 as the dismantling of Jurken (1938 to 1945 Jürgen , in Polish Jurki ). The place was a Vorwerk of the community Diebowen (1938 to 1945 Diebauen , Polish Dybowo) in the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945 Treuburg district) in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1905 the place had 59 inhabitants.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the neo-baroque manor house was built in Könitzberg , which belonged to the Middendorf family in the 1920s - as the center of a large estate.

On April 5, 1929, Könitzberg was renamed “Gertrudenhof”. On April 30, 1931 the decision was made that the Vorwerk Gertrudenhof is located in both the rural community Diebowen (Dybowo) and the rural community Jurken (Jurki).

With the whole of southern East Prussia , the place came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war and has since been known as “Niemsty” in Polish. The hamlet is now part of the Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) Cichy (Czychen , 1938 to 1945 Bolken) and thus belongs to the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), before 1998 the Suwałki voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . The former manor house is still preserved today, the farmyard and the estate manager's house still exist, surrounded by trees, some of which are very old. The facility is now owned by the State Agricultural Real Estate Agency (Agencja Własności Rolnej Skarbu Państwa - AWRSP).

Religions

Until 1945, Könitzberg was parish in the Protestant Church of Czychen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of Marggrabowa (1928 to 1945 Treuburg, Polish Olecko) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Niemsty belongs to the Protestant parish in Gołdap (Goldap) , a branch parish of the parish in Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , and to the Catholic parish church Cichy in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .

Niemsty can be reached via a country road that branches off from the voivodship road DW 655 at Doliwy (Doliwen , 1938 to 1945 Teichwalde) and leads via Jurki (Jurken , 1938 to 1945 Jürgen) to Cichy (Czychen , 1938 to 1945 Bolken) .
