Przesławki ( German  Preslauken, 1938 to 1945 Praßlau ) is a none village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural municipality Dubeninki (Dubeningken, 1938 to 1945 Dubeningen) in the Gołdap (Goldap) district.

Geographical location

Przesławki located in the extreme northeast of the Warmia and Mazury, two kilometers south of the state border Poland / Russia and as many kilometers to the west of the former border between the German Reich and Poland, to which the present Woiwodschaftsgrenze Masuria / Podlasie is almost parallel.

history

The small town called Barschkeppen at the time had different names over the years: Parschkeppen (after 1565), Prastfeld (before 1700), Präßlauken (before 1717), Praslauken (before 1818), and Preslauken (until 1938).

From 1874 to 1945 the village was incorporated into the Dobawen District , which - renamed "Dobauen District" in 1939 - belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

88 inhabitants were registered in Preslauken in 1910. Their number was constant in 1933 and fell slightly to 76 by 1939.

In 1938 the spelling of the name was changed from Preslauken to "Praßlau".

In 1945 the village came to Poland as a result of the war with southern East Prussia and was given the name "Przesławki". The village is now part of the Gmina Dubeninki association in the Gołdapski powiat within the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

With its majority Protestant population, Dobawen / Dobauen was parish before 1945 in the parish of the Szittkehmen church, which belonged to the church district Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholics were oriented towards the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .

Przesławki is located south of the 651 voivodeship road and can be reached via a junction between the villages of Lenkupie (Lengkupchen, Lengenfließ 1938-1945 ) and Żerdziny (Serteggen, 1938-1945 Serteck) .
