history

The Birkenwalde forestry was founded on March 27, 1862 as a place to live in the municipality of Przykopken (1926 to 1945 Birkenwalde (village), in Polish Przykopka ). The history is intertwined with the history of the parent community, the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. Birkenwalde had 23 residents in 1885, compared to 38 in 1905.

As a result of the war, the Birkenwalde forester's house came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Pisanica”. Today the forest settlement is part of the Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
