history

Today's hamlet ( Osada in Polish ) was built after a train station was built on the railway line from Olsztyn to Lyck ( Olsztyn-Ełk in Polish ) opened on August 15, 1884 in the Ortelsburg – Johannisburg section . The station was called "Kurwien" until 1945. The village Kurwien was until 1945 the mother church of the living space station Kurwien in county Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia . The station settlement was almost exclusively inhabited by railway employees.

In 1945, she came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland . The station was initially given the Polish name "Kurwia", and from February 1, 1947, "Karwica Mazurska". Under this name, the small town is now part of the urban and rural community Ruciane-Nida (Rudczanny / Niedersee - Nieden) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In the course of expanding the railway line in the Szczytno – Ełk section by 2020, the Karwica Mazurska stop is likely to be closed.
