What is rebbe of borsche?

The term rebbe is used to refer to the rabbi who is a leader of a Hassidic sect. So, there is the Bobover Rebbe, the Bostoner Rebbe, the Chernobler Rebbe etc. It is very common that the sects are named after the town where they originated. The Rebbe of Borsche would then be the Hassidic leader of the town of Borsche and might also be known as the Borscher Rebbe. The name Borsche is a family name, though not a common one, suggesting that there may be a place by that name, but I have not been able to find it.
