Płośnica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Płośnica (German: Heinrichsdorf) is a gmina in Poland with 6,530 inhabitants. It is located 12 km northwest of Działdowo in Powiat Działdowski in the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.
Płośnica was first documented in 1351, while its church was first reported in 1404. In 1818 it belonged to Landkreis Neidenburg in East Prussia in the Kingdom of Prussia and, after 1871, in Imperial Germany. It was damaged during World War I and transferred to Poland in 1920 after the Treaty of Versailles without a referendum. At the beginning of World War II in 1939 it became part of Nazi Germany again until 1945, when it was overrun by the Soviet Red Army and given to Poland again.
