history

Local history

As early as 1785, Borken was named "noble estate with 14 fireplaces". In 1874 the manor district of Borken was included in the newly established district of Alt Rosenthal ( Stara Różanka in Polish ), which belonged to the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On September 30, 1928, the Borken manor gave up its independence when it merged with Groß Köskeim (Polish : Kaskajmy ) and Kattkeim ( Katkajmy ) to form the new rural community Groß Köskeim - albeit without the Klein Schatten residential area .

When all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Borken was also affected. The place received the Polish name form "Borki" and is today a "Przysiółek osady Kaskajmy" ("hamlet of the settlement Kaskajmy") in the association of the Gmina Kętrzyn (rural community Rastenburg ) in the powiat Kętrzyn (district Rastenburg ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia and Mazury belong.

At the end of the 19th century, Gut Borken was owned by a Gervais family . On October 9, 1912, the Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung read: The possessions of the medical council Dr. Gervais-Drengfurth, in the Rastenburger district, were recently ... sold, namely the manor Borken for the price of 160,000 Mk. To the manor owner Kühl auf Köskeim ... In the 1920s - at that time the manor still comprised 180 hectares - It became the property of a Becker family and remained so until 1945.

The manor house, close to nature by a stream in the middle of a park, was rebuilt in a classicistic style in the first half of the 19th century . Originally it was built in a baroque style. Today the building looks somewhat dilapidated. It should be listed and for sale.

church

Borken was parish in Rastenburg before 1945 - in the local Protestant parish church within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union as well as in the local Catholic Church, which belonged to the diocese of Ermland at that time .

Today there is the same geographical orientation: to the Evangelical St. John's Church in Kętrzyn in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and to the - now Catholic - Georgskirche Kętrzyn in the current Archdiocese of Warmia .
