Piele (German Pellen ) is a small village in the north-west of the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , right on the border between Poland and Russia ( Kaliningrad Oblast ). It belongs to the rural community Lelkowo ( Lichtenfeld ) in the Powiat Braniewski ( Braunsberg district ).

Geographical location and transport links

Piele is located in the Polish-Russian border area and is the end point of two side roads that end in Piele from the vicinity: from the south from Wyszkowo ( Hohenfürst ) and from the east from Głębock ( Tiefensee ) and Grabowiec ( Schönwalde ). Until 1945, both streets continued through the town to Zinten (Russian: Kornewo), which is now part of Russia and whose catchment area included the town called Pellen at the time.

A railway connection no longer exists today, before 1945 Zinten was a railway station on the route from Heiligenbeil (Mamonowo) and Preußisch Eylau (Bagrationowsk).

history

The settlement of the area in and around Piele took place as early as the Bronze Age around 750 to 400 BC. On September 29, 1383 Pellin was first mentioned in a document. At that time there was an order yard with cattle and arable farming in the village , which in 1412 also housed the farm yard of the Zinten Chamber Office (Russian: Kornewo). The Ordenshof was presumably to the east of the later manor.

In Hunger War in 1414 and again in 1520 in Reiter war of Pellener Ordenshof was devastated. Thereupon Duke Albrecht dissolved the farm and in 1527 lent the lands together with Hasselpusch (Polish: Zagaje) as well as the jug, mill and church to Claus von Auer , the progenitor of the Auer family in Prussia until 1945.

In 1780 the Oberpräsident Friedrich von Domhardt acquired the Pellen estate from the Tribunal Councilor Friedrich Ludwig von Auer . After his early death in 1781, the owners of Pellen and Hasselpusch changed frequently. Since 1827 they belonged to the landscape director Albrecht von Brandt , heir to Kupgallen and Labehnen and district administrator of the short-lived Zinten district in 1818/1819. The last German owner on Pellen, Hans Hugo von Brandt, died in 1945 as a Soviet prisoner of war.

In 1910 there were 198 inhabitants in the Pellen manor. Their number rose to 220 in the rural community of Pellen by 1933 and was still 208 in 1939.

Until 1945 Pellen was a place in the district of Heiligenbeil in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Since 1945 Pellen has been a place in Poland under the name Piele. He belongs to the Gmina Lelkowo in the Powiat Braniewski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Elblag Voivodeship ).

Pellen district

On June 11, 1874, the administrative district of Pellen was formed from the two rural communities Hasselpusch (Zagaje) and Lauterbach (Mędrzyki) and the manor districts of Hasselpusch and Pellen . After several reclassifications or incorporations, this district still consisted of the three rural communities of Hasselpusch, Lauterbach and Pellen on September 1, 1931. This structure remained until 1945.

church

The church from the time of the order was very dilapidated in 1575 and was restored in the following years. More renovations took place over the years, and the place of worship also got through WWII well . But then it served as a warehouse and was ultimately demolished.

The bell from 1767 was supposed to be melted down for war purposes in 1942, but escaped this fate and was found again in the Hamburg bell cemetery. It has been ringing in the Paul Gerhardt Church in Hameln an der Weser since 1952 . Another bell of the church is in the Church today Dębowiec ( Eichholz ringing).

The altar of the Pellen church, which the monastery brothers of the Redemptorists of the Kreuzkirche zu Braunsberg (Braniewo) saved in time from decay together with the pulpit, is today in the church of Żelazna Góra ( Eisenberg ), the only surviving church in the former church district Holy ax (Mamonowo). The pulpit, however, is lost.

Parish

Before 1945 Pellen was a branch church in the Protestant parish Hermsdorf −Pellen (Pogranitschny / Piele). It belonged to the church district Heiligenbeil (the northern half of which is today in Russia) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The parish seat was Hermsdorf.

Today Piele is part of the new Catholic parish of Zagaje ( Hasselpusch ), which was established in 1984 . She belongs to the deanery in Pieniężno ( flour sack ) in the Archdiocese of Warmia of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are part of the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
