history

Bobry in Gmina Prostki is the southern part of the village with the German name Bobern , which was connected before 1945 , the northern part of which is now in Gmina Ełk (rural municipality of Lyck ) and as Bobry (Ełk) with Bobry (Prostki) 600 meters away Story is identical. The date of the separation of the two parts after 1945 is not documented.

From 1539 the small village with Gut Bobern was mentioned as Zilkowen (before 1785) or Bobren (after 1785). Between 1874 and 1945 the site was in the District Ostrokollen ( Polish Ostrykół ) integrated, the - 1938 in the district of Scharfenrade renamed - the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 Government district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

Bobern had a total of 198 inhabitants in 1910. Their number decreased to 183 by 1933 and was still 178 in 1939.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Bobern belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Bobern, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, Bobern came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Bobry . Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
