Borki ( German  Borken ) is a small place in the Polish Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the rural community Miłki ( German  Milken ) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ).

Geographical location

Borki is located in the eastern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , 24 kilometers east of the former district town of Sensburg ( Mrągowo in Polish ) and 15 kilometers south of the current district metropolis Giżycko (Lötzen) .

history

Today's settlement ( Polish osada ) Borki emerged from a former Vorwerk and later Gutsdorf, which was called Borken until 1945 . In 1874 the place was incorporated into the newly established district of Schimonken , which - renamed the district of Schmidtsdorf in 1938 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905–1945 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 Borken had 24 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928 the manor district Borken lost its independence when it was united with the manor district Klein Jagodnen ( Polish Jagodnen Małe ) to form the new rural community Klein Jagodnen (1938–1945 small roasting). With this, the place changed to the district of Rydzewen (1938–1945 district of Rotwalde ), which was not part of the Sensburg district, but the Lötzen district .

As a result of the war, Borken came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Borki . The settlement is included in the Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) Jagodne Małe (Klein Jagodnen , 1938–1945 Kleinkrösten) and has been part of the rural community Miłki (Milken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia and Mazury belong.

Religions

Until 1945 Borken was parish in the Protestant Church of Shimonken in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic parish church of St. Bruno in Lötzen in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Borki belongs to the Catholic parish in Rydzewo (Rydzewen , 1927–1945 Rotwalde) in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland and to the Protestant parish in Ryn (Rhine) or the church in Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) , both of the Diocese of Masuria assigned to the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

traffic

Borki is located a little away from the traffic and is a little awkward to reach on a side road that branches off the Polish state road 63 (former German Reichsstraße 131 ) at Miłki (Milken) and via Paprotki (Paprodtken , 1938–1945 Goldensee) to Jagodne Małe ( Klein Jagodnen , 1938–1945 small roasting) . There is also an overland connection from Górkło (Gurkel) to Borki. There is no rail link.
