history
Local history
Sausgerken - after 1785 Groß Sausgörken , after 1820 called Adlig Sausgörken and written without additional designation after 1871 - was founded before 1484. In 1484 it was mentioned in a renovation festival. The area was probably old settlement land. In 1935, two stone axes and a flint ax were found here .
When the district of Skandlack ( Polish: Skandławki ) was established in 1874 , the rural community Sausgörken and the manor district Sausgörken were incorporated. He was part of the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 30, 1928, the rural community and the manor district Sausgörken and the manor district Skandlack merged with parts of Jäglack (district Jäglack) to form the new rural community Sausgörken. Therefore, on April 8, 1929, the district of Skandlack was renamed “Sausgörken District”.
As a result of the war, in 1945 all of southern East Prussia - and with it Sausgörken - was transferred to Poland . Sausgörken received the Polish form of the name "Suchawa" and is now a place in the community of Barciany (Barten) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
