Bartians

The beards were a tribe of the people of the Prussians on the territory of the later East Prussia.

Location

The settlement area of ​​the baleen, the same district, was about in the middle of the Old Prussian territory. Peter of Dusburg 1326 describes in his Chronicon Terrae Prussiae the area as between the Aller, the Swine, the Mauersee in the Masur plate and the forests of the Jadwinger lying.

History

The beards were subjected to, like all Old Prussian tribes in the 13th century by the Teutonic Knights. Your name will be, inter alia, in the castle Bartenstein (now Bartoszyce ) on the Aller again.

Language

They probably spoke an Old Prussian dialect, but linguistically intangible. Old Prussian was a West Baltic language.

Subsequent development

The Barten later went along with German, Mazovia and Lithuanian immigrants on the East Prussian population.
