Babięta

Babięta [baˈbjɛnta] (German: Babienten; 1938-1945: Wehrkirchen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Piecki, within Mrągowo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.^[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) south-west of Piecki, 21 km (13 mi) south of Mrągowo, and 52 km (32 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union or Ukrainians forced to settle in the area through Operation Vistula in 1947.
