Wypad ( German  Wypad , 1938 to 1945 Waldsiedeln ) is a small town in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Ruciane-Nida ( urban and rural community Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden ) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ).

Geographical location

Wypad is located on the river Kruttinna ( Polish Krutynia ) in the south-east of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, 23 kilometers southeast of the former district town of Sensburg (Polish Mrągowo ) and 21 kilometers northwest of today's district metropolis Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ).

history

The colony originally called Wipath , around 1913 Wiepad , consisted of a small farm and was founded in 1823. As a place to live within the community (Old) Ukta ( Polish Ukta ) it belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district until 1945 (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1905 Wypad had 11 residents. On June 3, 1938 (officially confirmed on July 16), Wypad was renamed "Waldsiedeln" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign place names.

As a result of the war, the small town came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Wypad”.

Today it is part of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

Religions

With the mother community Ukta Wypad was parish before 1945 in the Protestant church Alt Ukta in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Roman Catholic Church Sensburg in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today, Wypad belongs to Ukta for both denominations : to the Catholic Exaltation of the Cross within the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Evangelical Petrikirche, which is looked after by the parish office in Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) in the Diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Wypad can be reached directly from Ukta ( (Old) Ukta ) or Nowa Ukta (New Ukta) via side streets. A railway connection no longer exists, since 1945 as a result of the war, the Sensburg – Rudczanny section (with the Ukta station) of the railway line leading from Königsberg (Prussia) to Johannisburg was abandoned and dismantled.
