Skup ( German  Hohenbrück ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district .

Geographical location

Skup is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the north bank of the Goldap (Polish: Gołdapa). It is 22 kilometers to the former district town of Darkehmen (1938 to 1945: Angerapp, Russian: Osjorsk), which is now in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad , and the current district metropolis of Gołdap is 13 kilometers away.

history

The former Gutsdorf Hohenbrück - also called Hohenbrücken after 1584 - was incorporated into the district of Rogahlen (Polish: Rogale) in 1874. This - renamed the “Gahlen District” in 1939 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Darkehmen district (from 1939: Angerapp district ) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 Hohenbrück had 18 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the Hohenbrück manor district gave up its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring village of Gruneyken (1938 to 1945: Gruneiken, Polish: Grunajki).

In 1945 Hohenbrück came to Poland as a result of the war and was given the Polish name “Skup”. The village was spun off from the Darkehmen / Angerapp district, which had become part of Russia , and incorporated into the Polish district of Węgorzewo (Angerburg) and belonged to the Olsztyn (Allenstein) voivodeship until 1975 . Today Skup is a small town in the Gołdap municipal and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Before 1945, the vast majority of Hohenbrück's residents were Protestant . Until 1856 the place belonged to the parish Klein Szabienen , afterwards it was parish in the church of Grabowen (1938 to 1945: Arnswald, Polish: Grabowo) in the parish of Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union .

Since 1945 the few Protestant church members in Skup have belonged to the parish in Gołdap , a branch of the Suwałki parish in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland . The majority now Catholic population belongs to the newly established parish in Grabowo , where the previously Protestant church is now a Catholic parish church. It is part of the Gołdap deanery in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland .

traffic

Skup is a little away from the general traffic and is only on a country road that bridges the Goldap River between the riverside villages of Grunajki (Gruneyken , 1938 to 1945 Gruneiken ) - already part of the rural community of Banie Mazurskie (Benkheim) - and Boćwiński Młyn (Bodschwingken Mill , 1938 to 1945 Herandstaler Mühle) . There is no rail connection.
