Ustnik ( German Lichtenhagen ) is a village in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the urban-and-rural municipality Jeziorany in powiat Olsztyński .
Geographical location
Ustnik is located on Jezioro Ustnik (Lichtenhagener See) , a nature reserve ("Rezerwat Ustnik") especially for marsh and water birds. The village is 40 kilometers northeast of the current district town of Olsztyn (Allenstein) , and it is 30 kilometers to the former district metropolis of Reszel (Rößel) . The administrative center Jeziorany (Seeburg) is four kilometers away.
history
Before 1785 the village was called Wuxtenicken . In the 17th century the estate was owned by the von der Damerau-Dombrowski family , in the 18th century by the von Troschke family and towards the end of the 19th century by the Kahsnitz family .
In 1874, Lichtenhagen was incorporated into the newly established district of Voigtshof (now in Polish: Wójtówko ) in the district of Rößel and administrative district of Königsberg (from 1905 administrative district of Allenstein ) of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 59 inhabitants registered here.
Although the Lichtenhagener Gut had a relatively small property of 220 hectares, this property was divided at the beginning of the 20th century and another manor house was built.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Lichtenhagen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Lichtenhagen, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.
On September 30, 1928, the Lichtenhagen manor district lost its independence and was incorporated into the municipality of Modlainen (now in Polish: Modliny). In 1929 the Voigtshof district was renamed " Walkeim District " (now in Polish: Wilkiejmy).
As a result of the Second World War , Lichtenhagen came to Poland with southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name "Ustnik". The village is now part of the Gmina Jeziorany (Seeburg) , which belongs to the Powiat Olsztyński (Powiat Allenstein ) in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship ). Today 60 people live here.
church
Before 1945, the population in Lichtenhagen was predominantly Catholic . The Protestant church members made up about 15% of the population. A parish village for both denominations was the neighboring Seeburg (now in Polish: Jeziorany), which on the Catholic side belonged to the Diocese of Warmia and on the Protestant side to the parish of Allenstein (Olsztyn) - until 1893 parish of Warmia - in the church province of East Prussia, belonged to the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
Today, almost without exception, there is a Catholic population in Ustnik. The place still belongs to Jeziorany (Seeburg) , where the parafia Świętego Bartłomieja is the first in the deanery Jeziorany in the current Archdiocese of Warmia of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical Christians living here are now incorporated into the parish of Olsztyn (Allenstein) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
Personality of the place
- Egbert Otto (1905–1968), German politician and co-founder of the East Prussian Landsmannschaft
