Geographical location

The elongated village is located east of the Jezioro Duś ( German  Dusssee ) and the river Krutynia ( Kruttinna ) on the edge of the Johannisburger Heide ( Polish Puszcza Piska ) in the historical region of East Prussia . It is five kilometers northwest of Ruciane-Nida and 17 kilometers southwest of Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) . It is 25 kilometers to the former district town of Sensburg ( Mrągowo in Polish ) and 22 kilometers to today's district metropolis of Pisz ( Johannisburg in German ).

history

Eckertsdorf was founded in 1828 and was one of eleven settlements of the Russian Orthodox sect of Old Believers . The local community belonged to the so-called Philipponen subgroup . The Filipinos persecuted in the Russian Empire settled in East Prussia, especially in Masuria , due to the liberal Prussian religious laws.

On February 18, 1835, the Gumbinn government president confirmed the founding of new "establishments" - including Eckertsdorf - in the Sensburg district by "the Philippones sect who immigrated from Poland", which have now been recognized as independent municipalities. In 1874 Eckertsdorf came to the newly established district of Ukta ( (Old) Ukta ), which until 1945 became the district of Sensburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (from 1905: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Eckertsdorf belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Eckertsdorf, 320 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

The end of the Second World War meant the end of the Philippine community. After the invasion of the Red Army , the village was placed under Polish administration and received the Polish form of name "Wojnowo". Until 1945 the place belonged to the district Sensburg, while it is now assigned to the powiat Piski (district Johannisburg ). Wojnowo is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

The Orthodox Church in Wojnowo

In Wojnowo is in the north east on the road to Osiniak-Piotrowo ( German  Fedorwalde-Peterhain ) the orthodox parish and monastery church "Dormition of the Mother of God" ("Cerkiew Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej"). It belongs to the Polish Orthodox Church ("Polski Autokefaliczny Kościół Prawosławny"). The church was built between 1921 and 1923 according to the plans of the architect Aleksander Avajew from Tver, Russia, in the style of a wooden church and was ceremoniously consecrated in 1923. The parish, which was rededicated on September 1, 1996, belongs to the Bialystok-Gdańsk Diocese of the Polish Orthodox Church, which has its seat in Białystok . The church in Wojnowo has been a listed building since 1983.

The initial spark for the construction of the church was given by a Russian Orthodox clergyman prisoner of war during the First World War. He had succeeded in winning back many of the Philippons in Eckertsdorf for the Russian Orthodox faith.

Culture and sights

Former Old Believer monastery

Former monastery of the Old Believers

The former Philippon monastery with the last name "Monaster Zbawiciela Trójcy Święty" ("Holy Redeemer and Trinity Monastery") dates back to the 1830s, when the monk Lavrenti Rastropin on the east bank of the Dusssee ( Jezioro Duś in Polish ) one founded a small hermitage. As early as 1834, the Philipponen, a group of Russian Old Believers , were given permission to build a church, just as it was in the neighboring town of Schönfeld ( Ładne Pole in Polish ). The monastery complex with its own church was built between 1839 and 1849, which made Eckertsdorf an important and worldwide religious center from 1852 to 1867. As a monastery, it also aroused the interest of the co-religionists of Moscow's Preobrazhenskoye cemetery , who provided advice and support.

Sign to the monastery

In 1867 the then authoritative and leading prior Pawel Pruski ("Piotr Iwanowicz Ledniew") left Masuria and went to Russia to convert to the Russian Orthodox Church . As a result, monastic life got into a serious crisis and the monastery complex even threatened to deteriorate until it came into the possession of a wealthy Old Believer in 1884. A year later a nun bought the monastery back from him and led it to a new prosperity with up to 25 sisters as a women's monastery - until the First World War.

The monastery buildings survived the Second World War. Here Matron Antonia, who died in 1972, did a great job of building the facility. In 1988 two women lived here. The last of them died in 2006. Their death sealed the end of the monastery. Numerous icons from Russia, most of them from the Preobrazhensky Monastery in Moscow, are still part of the inventory today and make it an important destination for tourists. Supervision of the facility was legally assigned to a private family.

Graves of the Old Believers

In addition to a church, the monastery also consists of old houses on the lake shore. Behind the church there is an orthodox cemetery with typical wooden crosses. This was renovated in summer 2008 by volunteers from Germany and Poland.

A circular hiking trail from the monastery to the Old Believers' places of 17 km in length was also created.

traffic

Wojnowo is on a side street that leads from Ukta ( (Old) Ukta ) south to state road 58 , with the houses lining almost the entire street. In addition, smaller roads lead from neighboring towns to here.

Until 1945 Ukta was the next train station. It was located on the railway line from Königsberg to Rudczanny (1938 to 1945: Lower Lake, today dissolved in the city of Ruciane-Nida ) , the last section of which was discontinued as a result of the war.
