Geographical location

history

The former Schönwiese consisted of a few small farms before 1945 and was incorporated into the town of Goldap. 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, Schönwiese came to Poland with southern East Prussia in 1945 and has since been known as "Piękne Łąki" in Polish. The place is now independent, but in 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 .

Before 1945 , both the Protestant and Catholic residents of Schönwiese were ecclesiastically oriented towards Goldap . This has not changed for the population of Piękne Łąki after 1945.

Away from the major traffic events, Piękne Łąki can only be reached via a secondary road that leads from Gołdap via Bałupiany (Ballupönen , 1938 to 1945 Ballenau) to Mażucie (Masutschen , 1938 to 1945 Oberhofen) in the Polish-Russian border area.
