Borowina [bɔrɔˈvina] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Przywidz, within Gdańsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.

Since 1466, when the rebels of the Prussian Confederation, partially successful in overthrowing the governing Teutonic Order, could only partition the western parts (Culmland, Pomerelia and Warmia) of Order Prussia, Borowina formed part of the Pomeranian Voivodeship in Polish-allied Royal Prussia.

[2] Following the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, the Barenhütte municipality, together with 14 other municipalities and manorial wards (Gutsbezirke) of the Berent District, was redistricted to the Danzig Heights District, and thus became part of the Free City of Danzig, a League of Nations mandate, in January 1920, more than a year after World War I.

[4] After the German and Soviet Invasion of Poland, in 1939 Nazi Germany annexed the mandated Danzig territory in a unilaterally act, not recognised under international law, making also Barenhütte a part of the new Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia, an occupational authority not recognised under international law.

Within Danzig-West Prussia Barenhütte became part of the new Rural district of Danzig [de] for the period until the end of World War II.
