The small town once called Gaidschen (before 1785), Ballupönen (after 1785), Ballupönen (before 1871) and Alt Ballupönen (until 1938) consisted of several large and small courtyards before 1945.

In 1910 Alt Ballupönen had 132 inhabitants. Their number rose to 160 by 1925, amounted to 161 in 1933 and 124 in 1939. On June 3 - officially confirmed on July 16 - of the year 1938, Alt Ballupönen became political- Renamed to "Schanzenhöh" for ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names.

Today it is a village within the rural community of Banie Mazurskie in the powiat Gołdapski , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
