history

The village called Ballupen at the time was founded before 1590. On March 18, 1874, the place became the official seat and gave its name to a newly established administrative district that belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . Before 1908, it was renamed “District Grilskehmen ” (from 1939 “District Grilsen”), in whose area Ballupönen remained incorporated until 1945.

In 1910 the Ballupönen manor counted 226 and the village 109 inhabitants. The total number sank to 112 by 1933 and in 1939 - the place had been renamed "Ballenau" in 1938 - only 99.

As a result of the war, Ballenau came to Poland in 1945 . Today it is part of the Gołdap urban and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (between 1975 and 1998 Suwałki Voivodeship ).
