Nowiny ( German  Neusaß ) is a small place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Olecko (Oletzko / Treuburg) district.

Geographical location

Nowiny is located in the northeast of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship on the southeastern edge of the Borkener Forest (also: Borker Heide, Polish: Puszcza Borecka). The district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) can be reached in 16 kilometers in a south-easterly direction.

history

The small settlement of Neusaß was founded in 1815 . Basically the place only consisted of a large courtyard. Neusaß was assigned to the Czychen (Polish: Cichy) estate . Czychen had been an official village since 1874 and gave its name to an administrative district , which was renamed "Amtsgebiet Bolken" in 1939 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district (from 1939 " Treuburg district ") in the Gumbinnen district in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the war, Neusaß came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Nowiny". Today it is a small, inconspicuous settlement in the network of the rural community Świętajno (Schwentainen) in the Powiat Olecki , until 1998 part of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Before 1945 Neusaß was parish with its majority Protestant population in the parish of Czychen (1938 to 1945: Bolken , Polish: Cichy) and belonged to the parish of Marggrabowa / Treuburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Today the residents of Nowiny are almost exclusively Catholic . Parish church is the former Protestant village church in Cichy, whose parish belongs to the Dean's Office Olecko - Niepokolanego Poczęcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny in the diocese of Ełk of the Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Nowiny is away from the main traffic and can be reached via a side road that leads from Cichy via Cichy Młyn directly into the village. Before 1945 Griesen (Polish: Gryzy) was the next train station. It was on the - in the meantime no longer operated - railway line Marggrabowa / Treuburg – Kruglanken (Olecko – Kruklanki).
