Nowy Młyn ( German  Neumühl ) is a place in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community of Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938–1945 Wallenrode) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district 1933–1945 ).

Geographical location

Nowy Młyn is located on the west bank of the Lega river in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, nine kilometers southeast of the district town of Olecko (Marggrabowa , colloquially Oletzko , 1928–1945 Treuburg) .

history

As Friedrichs Mühle - called Neumühle before 1785 and Neumühl after 1785 - the small estate was only mentioned in 1664. With its regionally important water mill , the place was incorporated into the municipality of Klein Oletzko (1938–1945 Herzogshöhe , Polish Małe Olecko , also: Olecko Małe ) until 1945 and belonged to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the war, the small town came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Nowy Młyn”. Today it is part of the Gmina Wieliczki (Wielitzken , 1938–1945 Wallenrode) in Powiat Olecki , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship and since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Neumühl was parish in the Protestant Church of Wielitzken in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of Marggrabowa (Treuburg) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Nowy Młyn belongs to the Wieliczki Catholic Parish Church in the Ełk Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here stick to the churches in Ełk (Lyck) and Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
