Borutin , Polish Borucin , Czech Bořutín , is a village in the urban and rural municipality of Kranowitz in the Powiat Raciborski in the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland .
geography
Borutin is located 12 kilometers south of Racibórz , right on the Czech border. It is bordered on the west by Kranowitz , on the east by Boleslaw, north to Bojanow and on the southwest by Chuchelná in the Czech Republic.
history
The first historical mention of the village comes from May 25, 1302. It mentions that Herbort von Füllstein , headess of the Olomouc bishop Bruno von Schauenburg , gave the Kranowitz parish three acres of farmland near the village of Borutin. At the end of the 14th century, Borutswerder was used as the place name , which indicates a German settlement. In the following time the owners of Borutin changed several times. At the end of the 16th century, the owner of the village, Johann Bravansky von Chobrzan, had a small church consecrated to John the Baptist built, which was consecrated in 1591 by the Olomouc bishop Stanislaus Pavlovský von Pavlovitz . It later served as a burial place for his successors, the Lichnowsky family . At the end of the 18th century, the von Lichnowsky family moved to neighboring Kuchelna . After a funeral mass on June 12, 1775 for the relatives buried in Borutin, they were exhumed and buried in Pishch and Kranowitz . It was probably the last cult act before the demolition. In 1742 the village fell to Prussia and in 1818 it was assigned to the Ratibor district - before that it had belonged to the Leobschützer Kreis. The first school was built in Borutin in 1822. Today's St. Augustine Church was built and consecrated in the neo-Gothic style in 1906.
In 1910 97% of the population was Czech-speaking (in a form of the Lachish language ). Until today the village has kept the Moravian culture almost entirely.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia in 1921, 793 votes (97.5%) were cast in Borutin to stay with Germany and 20 (2.5%) to join Poland - Borutin stayed with Germany.
From 1933 onwards, the new National Socialist rulers carried out large-scale renaming of place names of Slavic origin. In 1936 Borutin was renamed to Streitkirch .
The village had nearly 2000 inhabitants at the height of its development. After a large number of young families were relocated to Germany in the 1980s and 1990s, the population shrank to just over 1000. After the Second World War, Kornelia Lach set up a home parlor in Borutin.
Today Borutin belongs to the municipality of Kranowitz, which is the municipality with the proportionally largest German minority in the Silesian Voivodeship. In 2008, additional official place names were introduced in German.
