Historical Connections

Miluki’s historical heritage includes a former 19th-century Protestant cemetery containing the grave of two German soldiers who died in the First World War. The cemetery and the grave refer to different periods: the cemetery dates from the 19th century, while the soldiers died in the First World War. This distinction in time helps differentiate the cemetery’s history from the grave’s connection to the war.

The different forms of the name are also part of the area’s history: the historical Polish name is Miłuki, and the German name is Mylucken. Both forms can be useful when placing historical references to Miluki in context, helping you recognise the place in different languages.
