The church village once called Buddern with its Vorwerk and train station was called Burdern before 1562 and later Boddern . In 1860 the village had a size of 3,621 acres of fields and meadows and had a population of 712. From an economic point of view, the farmers, tradespeople and craftsmen in Buddern had to compete with the nearby Benkheim ( Banie Mazurskie in Polish ), which made successful development difficult.

In 1873 cholera raged in Buddern , which hardly a family spared. The village is said to have lost half of its inhabitants within a few weeks.

On May 6, 1874 Buddern office Village and thus its name to an administrative district that existed until 1945 and for district Angerburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

With the construction of the Angerburg – Goldap railway line and a stop in Buddern in 1899, the local economy gained new momentum.

During the war in autumn 1914, Buddern was on a main battle line and was completely destroyed, only a few houses remained standing. By 1920 the village was rebuilt.

In 1925 a total of 820 inhabitants lived in the village. Their number increased to 848 by 1933 and amounted to 896 in 1939.

In the course of the Second World War , the now 917 inhabitants had no choice but to flee from the oncoming Red Army on October 25, 1944 . At first they only came to Guttstadt ( Polish Dobre Miasto ).
