history

The place Bodschwingken , which was called after 1785 with additional designation Alt Bodschwingken (to distinguish it from New Bodschwingken , Polish Nowa Boćwinka), became an official village in 1874 and thus gave its name to a newly established district . Renamed the Herandstal district in 1939 , until 1945 it belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 the village had a total of 522 inhabitants. After the incorporation of the manor district Eichenort (Dąbie in Polish) on September 30, 1928, their number was 525 and in 1939 was 694.

Previously, on June 3 (officially confirmed on Jul 16) of the year 1938, the villages of old and new Bodschwingken in Old Herandstal and New Herandstal been renamed .

The village came in 1945 in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and since then is Boćwinka . Today the village is part of the Gołdap urban and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

The majority of the population of Alt Bodschwingken was Protestant until 1945 and was parish in the parish of the Church of Grabowen (1938–1945 Arnswald, Grabowo in Polish). She was part of the church district Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . The few Catholics were oriented towards the parish church in Goldap in the Diocese of Warmia .

Since 1945 Boćwinka has been part of the newly established Catholic parish in Grabowo . She belongs to the Dean's Office Gołdap in the Diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The few Protestant church members belong to the parish in Gołdap , which is a subsidiary of the parish in Suwałki in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Boćwinka is conveniently located on the Polish provincial road 650 (former German Reichsstraße 136 ), which connects the two district towns of Gołdap and Węgorzewo and also touches the touristically important valley of the Goldap (Gołdapa). In Boćwinka two side streets meet the Voivodeship Road: from the north the road from Gołdap via Skocze (Skötschen , 1938–1945 Grönfleet) , and from the south the road from Kierzki (Kerschken) via Kalniszki (Kallnischken , 1938–1945 Kunzmannsrode) .

There has not been a rail connection since 1945. Until then, the village was a train station on the Angerburg – Goldap railway line , which was no longer used after being destroyed in the war and was largely dismantled.
