history

Local history

The Gutsort, named Reinswein after 1820 , was founded in 1386 when the order's high master Konrad von Rothenstein prescribed the brothers Hans and Claus Witkop “100 Huben zu Rogenwalde bei dem Reynswin”. A mill in Rheinswein was mentioned in 1414.

In 1468 Heinrich Reuss von Plauen lent the "Rheinsweinschen property" to the Küchmeister von Sternberg family . The chefs were named as owners until 1780. In their place they were followed by the von Boyen, von Taubenheim , von Gröben and von Berg owners families .

In 1874 the Rheinswein manor district (with Julienhof ( Polish Julkowo )) and the rural community Rheinswein (with Heering (Polish Śledzie )) were incorporated separately into the newly established district of Salleschen (Polish Zalesie ). This was - in 1938 renamed "District Rhine wine" - to 1945 and belonged to the circle Ortelsburg in Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . At that time the manor district covered about 669 hectares, the rural community about 243 hectares. In 1910 the manor had 149 inhabitants and the rural community 163.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rheinswein belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Dorf und Gut Rheinswein, 236 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not cast any votes.

On September 30, 1928, the manor district and the rural community merged to form the new rural community Rheinwein. Its population was 295 in 1933 and also in 1939. The Salleschen district was renamed on November 15, 1938 as the Rheinswein district.

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Rheinswein was also affected. The village received the Polish form of the name "Rańsk". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 the population was 221.

The church in Rańsk is now a field stone building with a half-timbered tower, built between 1815 and 1817 . The pulpit and the altar date from the middle of the 19th century and form a whole. The altar from the 16th century was given to the Ortelsburger Heimatmuseum in the 1920s.

In 1925, the Rheinswein parish had more than 2,700 parishioners who lived in a widely scattered parish . Until 1945 it belonged to the parish of Ortelsburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

The Rheinswein church is one of the few places of worship that remained Protestant even after 1945. The parish is now a subsidiary of the parish in Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
