Geographical location and transport links

Botkuny is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, a few kilometers south of the state border with Russia . It is three kilometers to the west to the district town of Gołdap, which is also the official seat of the town and country municipality of the same name.

Gołdap – Botkuny railway line

A rail connection has not existed since 1999 (passenger traffic) or 2002 (freight traffic), when the PKP line 41 from Ełk (Lyck) via Olecko (Treuburg) to Gołdap was decommissioned. Before 1945 the place was also a train station on the railway line from Goldap via Tollmingkehmen (1938-1946 Tollmingen , today Russian: Tschistyje Prudy) to Gumbinnen (Russian: Gussew) .

history

The former Buttkuhnen was incorporated as an independent rural community in 1874 in the district of Mühle Goldap, which was part of the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . The districts of Alt Buttkuhnen, Klein Buttkuhnen and Neu Buttkuhnen belonged to the rural community. In 1910, 854 inhabitants were registered in Buttkuhnen, most of whom lived in Alt Buttkuhnen. Their number decreased to 805 by 1933 and was again 833 in 1939.

On June 3, 1938 Butt Kuhnen was in Bodenhausen renamed . On July 25, 1939, the place was Amtsdorf and thus eponymous for the previous district Mühle Goldap.

As a result of the Second World War , Bodenhausen was assigned to Poland and received the Polish name Botkuny . From 1975 to 1998 Botkuny was part of the Suwałki Voivodeship . Today the place is a Schulzenamt (Polish: sołectwo) in the network of the urban and rural municipality Gołdap in the powiat Gołdapski of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. In 2010 the village had 266 inhabitants.
