Siwoszewo ( German  Schiffus ) is an orphaned local authority in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and is located in the area of ​​the rural municipality Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ).

Geographical location

The Siwoszewo site is located directly on the Polish-Russian border in the northern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, nine kilometers southeast of the former district town of Gerdauen (now in Russian Schelesnodoroschny ) and 27 kilometers north of today's district metropolis Kętrzyn ( German  Rastenburg ).

history

Schyffys was founded in 1406 and was called Schiffuss around 1785 . The rural community of Schiffus came in 1874 to the district of Wandlacken ( Russian Swerewo ) in the East Prussian district of Gerdauen , which in 1930 became part of the district of Altendorf (Russian Wischnjowoje ).

In 1910 Schiffus had 223 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 288 and in 1939 249.

As a result of the war, Schiffus came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia, only a few hundred meters from the border that northern East Prussia had transferred to Russia . The place received the Polish name form "Siwoszewo", but was hardly populated at all precisely because of its location in the border area. As "Opuszczona osada" ( German  Abandoned Settlement ), the site is now even deserted and without a building.

church

Until 1945 Schiffus was parish in the Protestant Church Assaunen (today Asuny in Polish ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Bruno in Insterburg (today in Russian Chernyachowsk ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

traffic

Due to its border location, the Siwoszewo branch can no longer be reached directly. The Russian trunk road 27A-083 (ex A 196 , former German Reichsstrasse 131 ) runs just a few hundred meters to the north, but cannot be reached due to the lack of a border crossing. There is also no connection to rail traffic .
