history

Ublick was founded in 1539 - as Freigut to köllmischem law . The Ublick estate developed into a very large estate and was owned by the Kullak-Ublick family from 1788 to the 1920s , before the Engelmann brothers took it over as the last German owners. The estate last comprised 1,524 hectares of land with five farms , a distillery and a potato drying plant.

On April 8, 1874, Ublick became an official village and gave its name to an administrative district . It existed until 1945 and was part of the circle Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910, 263 inhabitants were registered in the Ublick manor . On September 30, 1928, the Ublick manor district was converted into a rural community of the same name. The population was 256 in 1933 and rose to 320 by 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Ublick belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Ublick 160 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , this also affected the village of Ublick. It received the Polish name form "Ublik" and is today the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the city ​​and rural community Orzysz ( German  Arys ) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

District of Ublick (1874–1945)

The administrative district Ublick was originally divided into two municipalities: the manor district Lötzen, domain office, and the manor district Ublick. On September 1, 1931, however, it only consisted of the village of Ublick itself, which has since been converted into a rural community. It remained that way until 1945.

Until 1945 Ublick was a parish in the Protestant Church of Arys in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church of Johannisburg ( Pisz in Polish ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Attractions

manor

The former Ublick manor house and current hotel in Ublik

The manor house in Ublick, which still exists today, was built in neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. During the First World War , the building was partially destroyed and it was rebuilt in neo-baroque style using many field stones . In 1945 the house burned down again. A renewed reconstruction including the still standing outer walls takes place in the 1960s. While it was temporarily used as a rest home, today it functions as a hotel and is privately owned.
