Redyki ( German  Reddicken ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural municipality Dubeninki (Dubeningken , 1938 to 1945 Dubeningen) in the Gołdap (Goldap) district .

Geographical location

Redyki is located in the extreme northeast of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, right on the border with the Podlaskie Voivodeship , which roughly follows the course of the former border between the German Empire and Poland .

history

Today's small settlement (Polish: osada) Redyki was founded before 1590 and had names like Ridicklauken (after 1590) or Reddigken (after 1785) over the centuries . In 1874 Reddicken came to the newly established Dobawen District , which - renamed "Dobauen District" in 1939 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910, 62 residents were registered in Reddicken, the number of which rose to 71 by 1933 and 72 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland with southern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Polish name "Redyki". Today the small town is a village in the group of Gmina Dubeninki in the powiat Gołdapski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Before 1945, the majority Protestant population of Reddickens was parish in the parish of the Church of Szittkehmen (the place was called between 1936 and 1938: Schittkehmen , 1938 to 1945: Wehrkirchen , Polish: Żytkiejmy) in the parish of Goldap within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholic church members were oriented towards the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia . Today the predominantly Catholic population of Redykis regards the once Protestant church in Żytkiejmy as their parish church, which now belongs to the Filipów dean's office in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents are integrated into the parish in Gołdap , a branch parish of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poland .

traffic

Redyki can be reached via a side road that branches off from Voivodship Road 651 in a southerly direction not far from Żerdziny (Serteggen , 1938 to 1945 Serteck) near Żytkiejmy . A railway connection has not existed since the Gumbinnen – Goldap railway line with the nearest railway station in Żytkiejmy was shut down immediately after 1945 as a result of the war.
