history

At the time Graiwa and after 1785 Kopicken , from September 17, 1864 Goldenau is a widely scattered village that was founded in 1485. On May 27, 1874, it became Amtsdorf and thus gave its name to a new administrative district , to which only the manor district Goldenau belonged. He was part of the circle elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The village Alexandrowen belonged to Goldenau and was renamed "Grenzwerda" ( Polish: Aleksandrowo , no longer exists today) on January 29, 1865 .

In 1910 there were 212 residents registered in Goldenau.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Goldenau belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Goldenau, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On January 14, 1925, the Goldenau manor district was converted into a rural community . In the same year the district of Goldenau was dissolved and the village was transferred to the district of Wischniewen (1938 to 1945 Kölmersdorf , Polish Wiśniowo Ełckie ).

On September 30, 1928, the neighboring town of Katrinowen (1938 to 1945 Katrinfelde , in Polish Katarzynowo ) was incorporated into Goldenau. The population was 427 in 1933 and rose to 433 by 1939.

As a result of the war, Goldenau came to Poland with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Kopijki". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the association of Gmina Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
