Lietuvninkai (Klaipėda)
The Prussian Lithuanians, or Lietuvininkai (singular: ''Lietuvininkas'', plural: ''Lietuvininkai''), are Lithuanians, originally Lithuanian language speakers, who formerly inhabited a territory in northeastern East Prussia called Prussian Lithuania, or Lithuania Minor (, ), instead of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and, later, the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuania Major, or Lithuania proper). Prussian Lithuanians contributed greatly to the development of written Lithuanian, which for a long time was considerably more widespread and in more literary use in Lithuania Minor than in Lithuania proper. Unlike most Lithuanians, who remained Roman Catholic after the Protestant Reformation, most Lietuvininkai became Lutheran-Protestants (Evangelical-Lutheran). There were 121,345 speakers of Lithuanian in the Prussian census of 1890. Almost all Prussian Lithuanians were murdered or expelled after World War II, when East Prussia was divided between Poland and the Soviet Union. The northern p ...

Laukininkai (Klaipėda)
A ''laukininkas'' (plural: ''laukininkai'') was a free peasant in the early Grand Duchy of Lithuania. ''Laukininkai'' formed the majority of the Grand Duchy's population. They formed communities, called ''laukas'' (in modern Lithuanian the term means ''field''). The term was later replaced by volosts () and subsequently laukininkas became known as ''valstietis'', which is a modern Lithuanian term for farmers and peasants. History In ancient times, when tools were crude and a single family could not support itself, the land was owned and worked by egalitarian communities. In the 12th century tools improved and more efficient techniques were adopted; increased harvest meant that individual families could sustain themselves. This facilitated transition from the community-based to family-based agriculture. By early 13th century the land was divided into individual lots that were owned and cultivated by a single family of ''laukininkai''. The lots were inherited from one generation to t ...
