history

The small village called Vlafky around 1500, Plowtzen after 1785, Plowtzen after 1818 and Plowczen until 1938 was founded in 1475.

In 1874 it was in the District Orzechowen ( Polish Orzechowo ) incorporated, and around 1900 in the "District New Jucha converted" and 1929 in the "District Jucha passed" and in 1939 in the "District floating village", and 1945 belong to the circle Lyck in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The population was 154 in 1910, compared to 146 in 1933.

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

On August 18, 1938 Plowczen was foreign-sounding place names "roach village" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The number of inhabitants was 132 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Płowce". Today the small place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the rural community Stare Juchy ( (old) Jucha , 1938 to 1945 Fließdorf ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Voivodeship Associated with Warmia-Masuria .
