Puchałowo ( German  Puchallowen , 1936 to 1945 Windau ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Janowo in the powiat Nidzicki ( Neidenburg district ).

Geographical location

Puchałowo is located in the southwest center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , 20 kilometers east of the district town of Nidzica ( German  Neidenburg ).

history

The small village called Puchalowen after 1785 was founded in 1707. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established district of Roggen (Polish: Róg ) in the East Prussian district of Neidenburg . Puchallowen counted 320 inhabitants in 1910, in 1933 there were 317.

For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names, Puchallowen was renamed "Windau" on August 8, 1936. The number of inhabitants was 315 in 1939.

1945 Windau was in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland transferred. The place was given the Polish form of the name "Puchałowo" and is now part of the rural community Janowo in the powiat Nidzicki ( Neidenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Puchałowo had 18 inhabitants.

church

Evangelical

Until 1945 Puchallowen / Windau had a Protestant church, a simple building that was identified as a place of worship by a small roof turret with a bell. Next to it stood the parsonage, in which from October 1, 1901 the post holders of the second pastorate of the Muschaken parish , and from 1913 regular local pastors, had their official residence.

The pastors officiated at the church in Puchallowen / Windau:

  • Fritz Mrotzeck, 1901–1904 and 1913–1932
  • Johann Gustav Boehm, 1904–1905
  • Ernst Max Friedrich Thews, 1905–1907
  • Eugen Waldemar Gayk, 1908–1909
  • Erhard Torinus, 1932–1941
  • Siegfried Sonnenberg, 1941–1945

The parish was assigned to the church of the Old Prussian Union with the mother church Muschaken of the church province of East Prussia . Flight and expulsion of the local population as a result of the war put an end to the life of the community here and in Muschaken. Protestant church members living in Puchałowo today belong to the parish in Róg (Roggen) , a subsidiary of the parish in Nidzica (Neidenburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

Roman Catholic

Before 1945 Puchallowen / Windau was parish in the Roman Catholic Church Neidenburg , today Puchałowo belongs to the parish church in Muszaki (Muschaken) in the Archdiocese of Warmia .

traffic

Puchałowo is located on the busy Voivodship Road 604 , which connects the cities of Nidzica (Neidenburg) and Wielbark (Willenberg) . Until the early 1950s, a side street led from Małga (Malga) via Niedźwiedź (Malgaofen) and Sadek (Saddek , Gartenau from 1938 to 1945 ) to Puchałowo. Together with the three locations, the road was destroyed for the purpose of creating a military training area.

Puchallowen became a train station on the Nidzica – Wielbark railway line ( PKP line 225) in 1900 , but it is currently not used.
