history

The state road 63 as a local passage through the wintry Perły (Pearl Forest)

In 1558 the village of Alt Perlswalde and its estate was established and was loaned to Sebastian Pörlein . It was owned by the state in the 18th century and bought by the von Boyen family in 1772 . In 1788 she founded the village of Neu Perlswalde to the north.

Both places were in 1874 in the newly established District Brosowen ( Polish Brzozowo incorporated) that the district Angerburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

The manor house, which is now privately owned, dates from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and replaced the old manor house built in 1714.

In 1910, 335 residents were registered in Alt Perlswalde (212) and Neu Perlswalde (123). The total number rose to 392 by 1933 and totaled 327 after the merging of old and new Perlswalde to form the new municipality of Perlswalde on April 1, 1938.

On January 27, 1939, Perlswalde became an official village and thus gave its name to the now dissolved district of Brosowen. Six years later, as a result of the war, Perlswaldes was transferred to Poland with the preservation of the Polish name form "Perły". Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and a village in the network of the urban and rural municipality Węgorzewo in the powiat Węgorzewski , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .

District of Perlswalde (1939–1945)

As the successor to the district of Brosowen, the district of Perlswalde was divided into two municipalities throughout its existence:

Street

The end of national road 63 near Perły before the border to Russia

The Polish state road DK 63 ends two kilometers after Perły before the Polish-Russian border . Over a length of more than 400 kilometers, it runs through northeast Poland and the Masurian area on a section of the former German Reichsstraße 131 , which at that time went via Nordenburg ( Russian Krylowo ) to Königsberg (Prussia) (Kaliningrad) - today's Russian A196 (new = 27A -028) - and continued to Pillau (Baltijsk) on the Baltic Sea . The planned Krylowo / Perły border crossing has been waiting for its construction for several years.

rail

Before 1945 what was then Perlswalde was a train station on the Königsberg – Angerburg railway line . Due to the demarcation of the border, rail traffic was interrupted and not resumed. The railway layers have been dismantled in many places on both the Russian and Polish sides. There is therefore no rail connection to Perły.
