Geographical location

Staświny is located on the Staświnka river east of Lake Hesse ( Jezioro Wojnowo in Polish ) in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It is ten kilometers to the northwest to the district town of Giżycko (Lötzen) .

The settlement ( Polish: Osada ) Staświny is one kilometer further east not far from the road to Ełk (Lyck) .

history

The year of foundation of the village called Staswinnen after 1785 , until 1938 Staßwinnen is the year 1475. At that time the place received the hand-fests of Bernhard von Balzhofen over 50 Hufen.

On March 29, 1874, Staßwinnen became an official village and thus gave its name to an administrative district . This - on 15 November 1938 in "District Eisermühl" renamed - existed until 1945 and was part of the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . From 1874 to 1945 Staßwinnen was the seat of its own registry office .

In the middle of the village, a large manor house from the beginning of the 20th century has been preserved, which was probably a school before 1945. Another manor house - probably built around 1900 - was located away from the village and was probably the core of the Staßwinnen manor district, which existed until 1928, and could be the village of Staświny-Osada today.

In 1910 398 inhabitants were registered in Staßwinnen, of which 391 lived in the village and seven in the manor district. Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Staßwinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Staßwinnen, 260 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On October 17, 1928, the Staßwinnen manor district was incorporated into the rural community (village) Staßwinnen. The population was 444 in 1933 and 452 in 1939. On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16 - of the year 1938 Staßwinnen was renamed "Eisermühl" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish name form "Staświny". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which includes the village of Staświny-Osada. Both places therefore belong to the rural community Miłki (Milken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
