Sołtmany [sɔu̯tˈmanɨ] (German: Soltmahnen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kruklanki, within Giżycko County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1]
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
On 30 April 2011, the place witnessed the fall of a stony meteorite.[2]
