Rogajny ( German  Rogainen , Lithuanian Rogainiai ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community Dubeninki (Dubeningken) in powiat Gołdapski (Goldap) .

Geographical location

Rogajny is 14 kilometers east of the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) on the southern edge of the Rominter Heide (Polish: Puszcza Romincka). A few hundred meters further east rises the 258 meter high - once called Amber Mountain - Lisia Góra .

history

The former Rogainen already existed in the 16th century. The village estate was founded in 1555. In the 1920s it covered an area of ​​330 hectares. The manor house from the second half of the 19th century and the manor chapel in the park are still preserved today.

The village and the manor district of Rogainen were assigned to the newly established district in 1874 and gave it the name. This existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In Rogainen there were 232 inhabitants registered in 1910, of which 144 lived in the rural community and 88 in the manor district. On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Rogainen and the two manor districts Katharinenhof ( Zawiszyn in Polish ) and Rogainen merged to form the new rural community of Rogainen. The total number of inhabitants rose to 429 by 1933 and was 396 in 1939.

As a result of the Second World War , Rogainen was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name "Rogajny". The village with its 2006 183 inhabitants is the seat of a Schulzenamt (sołectwo) and belongs to the group of Gmina Dubeninki in the Powiat Gołdapski . Between 1945 and 1975 it was incorporated into the Białystok Voivodeship and from 1975 to 1998 into the Suwałki Voivodeship . Since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Rogainen District (1874–1945)

church

Before 1945, the population of Rogainen was predominantly of Protestant denomination. The village was parish in the parish of the Dubeningken church, which belonged to the Goldap parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholics were oriented towards Goldap, where the parish church belonged to the diocese of Warmia .

Church relationships have been reversed since 1945: the predominantly Catholic population uses the former Evangelical Church in Dubeninki as their parish church, which is included in the Filipów deanship in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The lower number of Protestant church members belongs to the parish in Gołdap , a branch of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poland .

traffic

Rogajny is conveniently located on the voivodship road DW 651 , which connects the district towns of Gołdap / Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and Sejny / Podlaskie Voivodeship . In Rogajny, a side road that comes from the Rominter Heide via Budwiecie (Budweitschen , 1938 to 1945 Elsgrund) ends and is not insignificant for tourists. Rogajny no longer has a train connection. Until 1945 Meschkrupchen (1938 to 1945: Meschen, Polish: Meszno) was the nearest train station on the Goldap – Szittkehmen / Wehrkichen railway line, also known as the “Kaiserbahn” , which was no longer activated after the war.
