On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Ballamutowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or connection to Poland. In BAllamutowen, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On October 29, 1934 Ballamutowen was renamed "Giersfelde". The population in 1939 was 111.

As a result of the war, Giersfelde came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Bałamutowo .
