history

The former Sawitzmühle consisted of a water mill and a medium-sized courtyard. The place was founded in 1753, its owners were Jakob Krzykowski , later also Wilhelm Krzykowski .

In 1874 Sawitzmühle was incorporated into the Corpellen district in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg and in 1908 came to the Corpellen estate, Forst. On April 1, 1931 Sawitzmühle was incorporated into Seedanzig (Polish Sędańsk ).

For political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names, Sawitzmühle was renamed "Heidmühle" on June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938.

In 1945 the city came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Sawica".
