Zawiszyn ( German Katharinenhof , Goldap district ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . He belongs to the rural community Dubeninki (Dubeningken) in powiat Gołdapski (Goldap) .
Geographical location
Zawiszyn is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, only 1 km northwest of the former state border between the German Empire and Poland , which today roughly corresponds to the course of the voivodeship border to Podlasie . It is seven kilometers north to today's Polish-Russian border.
history
The former Katharinenhof , around 1900 also Adlig Catharinenhof , consisted of an estate , a brick factory and several farmsteads before 1945 . The estate was mentioned as early as 1818, the brickworks only founded in 1913/14. In 1874 Katharinenhof became part of the newly established district of Rogainen (Polish: Rogajny), which existed until 1945 and belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
On September 14, 1908, the Catharinenhof manor was rebuilt from parts of the Rogainen manor. In 1910 the small town had 96 inhabitants.
On September 30, 1928 the rural community of Rogainen and the manor districts Catharinenhof and Rogainen merged to form the new rural community of Rogainen. With this, Catharinenhof had given up its independence.
As a result of the war, Katharinenhof was assigned to Poland along with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 . Today the small village bears the Polish name "Zawiszyn" and is a place in the Gmina Dubeninki association in the powiat Gołdapski . If it belonged to the Suwałki Voivodeship between 1975 and 1998 , it has since been integrated into the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2006 the place had 70 inhabitants.
church
Before 1945 the residents of Katharinenhof were almost without exception Protestant denominations. The village was part of the parish of the Dubeningken church, which belonged to the Goldap parish within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Catholic church members were assigned to the parish in Dubeningken in the Diocese of Warmia .
Today the ecclesiastical situation has been reversed: the majority of Zawiszyn's population is of the Catholic denomination and has taken over the former Evangelical Church in Dubeninki as the parish church. She is the dean's office Filipów in the diocese Elk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland assigned. The few Protestant church members living here belong to the parish in Gołdap, which in turn is a subsidiary parish of the parish in Suwałki in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poland .
traffic
The voivodship road DW 651 , which is important in this area and connects the district towns of Gołdap (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship) and Sejny (Podlaskie Voivodeship), runs through Zawiszyn . In addition, a side road from Górne (Gurnen) via Czarne (Czarnen , 1938 to 1945 Scharnen) ends in Zawiszyn . A railway connection has not existed since after 1945, as a result of the war, the Goldap – Szittkehmen / Wehrkirchen railway line, also known as the “Kaiserbahn”, with the nearest Dubeninki railway station, was shut down.
