Place name

The Polish place name takes up the German place name “Sperling”, as “Wróbel” is the Polish name for “sparrow”.

history

The place once called Sperling used to consist of a very large estate. In the course of time different forms of name emerged: Sogona (before 1566), Sagona , Zagonn , Schoyonn (before 1785). On May 6, 1874, Sperling was the seat and eponymous for an administrative district , which only consisted of the Sperling manor ( remontedepot ). He was one time of its existence, the district Angerburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia .

After on October 1, 1926 the manor district of Sperling was divided into the rural communities of Benkheim ( Banie Mazurskie in Polish ), Janellen (Janele, no longer existent), Lissen (Lisy) and Surminnen (Surminy) and on October 17, 1928 to the rural community of Popiollen (1938 to 1945: Albrechtswiesen, Polish Popioły) had been incorporated, the district of Sperling was dissolved on May 15, 1930 and the remaining manor district was assigned to the district of Benkheim .

In 1910 there were 465 inhabitants registered in Sperling. The number was 433 in 1925, but then fell - due to massive restructuring - to 54 in 1933 and 1939, respectively.

As a result of the war, Sperling came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name "Wróbel". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which is responsible for Wróbel itself and for Stadnica (Wilhelmshof) . It belongs to the association of the rural community Banie Mazurskie in the powiat Gołdapski , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

church

Before 1945, Sperling was parish in the parish of the Evangelical Church in Benkheim ( Polish: Banie Mazurskie ) in the parish of Angerburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The Catholics went to the Catholic parish church in Goldap .

The previously Protestant church in Banie Mazurskie has served as a Catholic parish church since 1945 . The Catholic parish belongs to the Gołdap deanery , which was part of the Warmia diocese until 1992 , and has since been part of the Ełk diocese . The Protestant church members are now based on Gołdap, a branch parish of Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
