Geographical location

Borawskie is located in the far east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , eleven kilometers northeast of the district town of Olecko . The eastern local border was once the German-Polish state border , and today the voivodeship border between Warmia-Masuria and Podlachia runs just one kilometer further east .

history

The then Boraffscken , after 1785 with the additional name Groß Borawsken , until 1938 just Borawsken was founded in 1567. Between 1874 and 1945 the village was incorporated into the Mierunsken district ( Mieruniszki in Polish ), which - renamed Merunen district in 1938 - belonged to the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1874 the place was also assigned to the registry office Mierunsken, but then in 1913 transferred to the registry office Sczeczinken (1916–1945 Eichhorn, Polish Szczecinki).

Together with the district of Klein Borawsken ( Polish Borawskie Małe ) the population totaled 608 in 1910. It decreased to 465 by 1933 and was still 405 in 1939.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Borawsken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Borawsken, 426 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 Borawsken was renamed Deutscheck (Ostpr.) For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names .

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945, along with all of southern East Prussia , and has been using the Polish name Borawskie ever since . Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928–1945 Treuburg) in Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , 1933–1945 Treuburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Religions

Until 1945 Borawsken belonged to the evangelical parish Mierunsken / Eichhorn belonging to the parish of Eichhorn (Szczecinki), in the church province of East Prussia the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and the catholic parish church Marggrabowa (Oletzko / Treuburg) in the diocese of Warmia .

Today Borawskie belongs to the Catholic parish Szczecinki in the Diocese of Ełk ( German  Lyck ) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Protestant parish in Suwałki in the Diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
