history

The beginnings of Groß Borken - called Borken (without addition) until after 1871 - back to the time before 1374. It was one of the goods that were prescribed to the knight Menzel von Wildenau . The Wildenau family was named as the owner well into the 16th century. In 1560 Andreas Jonas was the owner, followed by the von Eylenburg family , the Rittmeister Friedrich Ernmst von Goldberg , the noble von Gröben family (1748) and Johann Ernst von Kurowski (1778). At the beginning of the 19th century, Wilhelm von Berg (later district administrator of the Ortelsburg district) acquired the estate. At the beginning of the 20th century, Groß Borken was partially resettled, and its owner Konrad Daum then gave the remaining property for settlement purposes.

In 1874, Groß Borken was incorporated into the newly established Kobulten district ( Kobułty in Polish ). He belonged to the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . In 1910 the then Groß Borken estate had 133 inhabitants . Their number rose to 411 by 1933 in the village , which had meanwhile advanced to a rural community , and totaled 511 in 1939. In 1939 there were 61 farms in Groß Borken.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Borken, 139 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, in 1945 all of southern East Prussia and thus also Groß Borken came to Poland . The village was given the Polish form of the name "Borki Wielkie" and is today with the seat of a Schulzenamts (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of the urban and rural community Biskupiec (Bishop's Castle) in the powiat Olsztyński ( Allenstein district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011, 321 inhabitants were registered in Borki Wielkie.

Until 1945, Groß Borken was parish in the Evangelical Church of Kobulten in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and in the Catholic Church of Kobulten in the then diocese of Warmia .
