Today I traveled to the missing village It's the village of Anduliai-Egliškiai It's a shame that most of the land is bought with the inscription "Private property".
Ėgliškiai is the oldest inhabited area of Western Lithuania, where it has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. At the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age, the dead were buried and burned on the left bank of the Dane, between it and Šaltupis (Kapupis) in barrows[2], as well as in flat graves installed between them.[3] 1st millennium BC m. e. help - 1st century the dead are buried unburnt, and pits are dug for graves near barrows and in their pits.
Ancient settlement I-IV centuries. stood in the ravine between Danė and Shaltupis (Kapupis). The houses were small, above ground, pillar structures. The barrel was heated by a recessed fireplace in the corner, which was also used for cooking.[5] Later, the community settled on the other side of the Degal stream, and around the 1st millennium BC. built a mound next to the burial ground, [6] near which there was a quarry called the Thunder Mountain.
1253-1263 is localized on the mound. Kretinga Castle is mentioned, which was ruled by the Curonian nobleman Veltūnas and his brothers Reiginas, Tvertikis and Saveidis. Curonians in 1260 after the rebellion against the crusaders, the castle became one of the centers of the rebellion. 1263 the crusaders burned it, killed the defenders, and took the women and children captive.
The Germans ruled these lands until the 20th century. middle In their time around the 17th century. the village, which in German was called Nicolau Eglien (1687), was established in the 18th and 19th centuries. - Eglien Nicklau (Eglien Niclau, Eglin Niclau).[7] In iconographic material 1796-1802. next to the old name, the name Eglischken is used, which in 1860 the whole area is called. The village of Ägliškii was finally formed in 1898. on July 1, after connecting the village of Venskä (Paupeln-Jakobo) to Eglin-Niclau.[8] The place name Eglien Nicklau came from the personal name Mikalojus Eglynas, and the name Ėgliškii comes from the word eglė.
The villagers were of Lithuanian origin. Most from the 16th century. professed the Evangelical Lutheran faith and belonged to the Kretingale Evangelical Lutheran community, and Catholics to the parish of the Klaipėda Catholic Church. 1944 most of the population left for Germany.
