history

The forester's office and later the head forester's office, called Mosdehnen before 1785 and Borcken after 1785, was a forestry office with two fireplaces and 33 residents in 1818 , just 500 meters east of Mosdzehnen ( Możdżany in Polish ), in whose municipality it was located. On May 6, 1874, the manor district of Borken, Forst, became the seat of the district of the same name in the district of Angerburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 the manor district of Borken, Forst, had 98 inhabitants. On September 30, 1929 the manor districts of Borken, Forst and Heydtwalde, Forst (in Polish: Budziska Leśne) merged to form the new manor district of Borker Heide, part of the district of Angerburg, Forst, which continued to belong to the Borken district.

As a result of the war, Borki came to Poland in 1945 with southern East Prussia and has since borne the Polish name form Borki . The settlement is part of the Schulzenamt (Polish sołectwo) Możdżany (Mosdzehnen , 1930–1945 Borkenwalde) within the rural community of Kruklanki (Kruglanken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
