history

The village of Wandein was founded in the middle of the 14th century and before 1945 consisted of a large estate and a remonted depot . The estate came into the possession of the von Groeben family in the second half of the 17th century . Around 1880 the place was incorporated into the district of Langheim ( Polish Łankiejmy ) in the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1820 there were 16 houses and 114 inhabitants in Wendehnen. In 1848 the last tenant of the von Dargitz family died , who is still remembered by an old tombstone. In 1910 the Wendehnen manor had 156 inhabitants.

On February 16, 1914, the Wendehnen manor district expanded to include the two Vorwerke Grützau ( Polish : Gnojewo ) and Sussnick (Polish : Suśnik ), which were reclassified from the Langheim manor ( Łankiejmy ). On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Langheim , the Langheim manor district and the two Vorwerke Grützau and Sussnick in the Wendehnen manor district merged to form the new rural community of Langheim, and on the same day the Heinriettenhof (Polish Wygoda ) and the Wendehnen manor district became the new rural community Turning tendons formed. The "new" Wendehnen thus formed had a total of 261 inhabitants in 1933 and 216 inhabitants in 1939.

In 1945, as a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland . Wendehnen received the Polish name form "Wandajny" and is now a settlement ( Polish Osada ) within the urban and rural community of Korsze (Korschen) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs.
