Sokoły ( German  Sokollen , 1938 to 1945 Hainholz (Ostpr.) ) Is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district .

Geographical location

Sokoły is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the east bank of the Goldap (Polish: Gołdapa). The district town of Gołdap (Goldap) can be reached in ten kilometers in a north-easterly direction.

history

The small place formerly called Sokollen was first mentioned in 1567. It is a village with a few small farms.

Between 1874 and 1945 Sokollen was incorporated into the Grabowen District (Polish: Grabowo), which - renamed "Arnwald District" in 1939 - belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In Sokollen the number of inhabitants was 45 in 1910. It was 44 in 1933 and 37 in 1939.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) in 1938, Sokollen was renamed to "Hainholz (East Pr.)" For political and ideological reasons to ward off foreign-sounding place names. In 1945, the village came in consequence of the war with the southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Sokoły". Today the small village is part of the Gołdap urban and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Sokollen or Hainholz, with its almost exclusively Protestant population, was parish before 1945 in the parish of the Church in Rogahlen (1938 to 1945: Gahlen, Polish: Rogale) and belonged to the Darkehmen / Angerapp church district within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The parish of the few Catholics had its seat in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today the church conditions are reversed: the predominantly Catholic population of Sokoły belongs to Rogale in the newly formed parish Żabin (Klein Szabienen / Schabienen , 1938 to 1945 Kleinlautersee) in the Gołdap deanery in the Ełk diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . The few Protestant church members belong to the parish in Gołdap, a subsidiary of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Sokoły is a little away from the traffic on a secondary road that connects the district town of Gołdap and Skocze (Skötschen , 1938 to 1945 Grönfleet) with Rożyńsk Mały (Klein Rosinsko , 1938 to 1945 Bergershof) and Boćwinka (Bodschwingken , 1938 to 1945 Herandstal) on the Connects Voiwodschaftsstrasse 650 (former German Reichsstrasse 136 ). There is no train connection.
