Pogorzel ( German Hegelingen , until 1906 Pogorzellen ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Geographical location

Pogorzel is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, southeast of the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) in the east of the Seesker Höhe (Polish: Wzgórza Szeskie). The southern local border also forms the border with the Olecko (Treuburg) district .

history

The village, once called Hegelingen , found different forms of name in the course of its history: Pogorz (before 1581), Cachanski (after 1581), Pogorzielle (after 1587), Pogorszehlen (after 1818) and Pogorzellen (until 1906). In 1874 the place was incorporated into the then newly established administrative district Gurnen (Polish: Górne), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On April 17, 1906, Pogorzellen changed its name to "Hegelingen".

The village had 245 inhabitants in 1910. On October 22, 1927, part of the Dorschen estate (Polish: Dorsze) was incorporated into Hegelingen, the rest followed on October 31, 1928. The number of inhabitants in Hegelingen rose accordingly to 373 by 1933 1939 still on 361.

As a result of the war, Hegelingen was incorporated into Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Polish name "Pogorzel". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish: Sołectwo) and a village in the Gołdap municipal and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat . Until 1998 it belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship and has since been assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

The majority of the population of Hegelingen was Protestant before 1945 and parish in the parish of the church Gurnen (Polish: Górne) in the parish of Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today the Protestant church members of Pogorzel belong to the parish in Gołdap , a branch of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

The few Catholic church members before 1945 belonged to the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia . Since 1945 the Catholics have been in the majority and integrated into the parish in Górne. A small chapel was built in Pogorzel. The parish is part of the Gołdap Dean's Office in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Pogorzel is conveniently located on the Polish state road DK 65 (former German Reichsstraße 132 ), which runs from the Russian-Polish to the Polish-Belarusian border. Two side streets from the surrounding area end in Pogozel: from Lakiele (Lakellen , 1938 to 1945 Schönhofen) via Borkowiny (Borkowinnen , 1938 to 1945 Jarken) in the east and from Grabowo (Grabowen , 1938 to 1945 Arnswald) via Nasuty (Nossuten) and Wilkasy ( Wilkassen , 1938 to 1945 Kleineichicht) in the west.

In 1879 what was then Pogozellen became a railway station on the important East Prussian north-south railway line from Insterburg to Lyck . In 1993 the railway line, which was operated by the Polish State Railways for almost 50 years , was closed to passenger traffic.
