history

The small village of Biallojahnen , consisting of several farmsteads, was first mentioned in 1539. Between 1874 and 1945 it was in the District Baitkowen ( Polish Bajtkowo ) incorporated, which - in 1938 District Baitenberg renamed - the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 Government district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

In 1910, Biallojahnen had 77 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 76. Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Biallojahnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany ) or the connection to Poland. In Biallojahnen, 40 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On July 29, 1935, Biallojahnen was renamed Weißhagen . The number of inhabitants in 1939 was 81.

As a result of the war, the village was transferred to Poland with all of southern East Prussia in 1945 and received the Polish form of the name Białojany . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring town of Zdedy (Sdeden , 1938–1945 Stettenbach) . Thus, the village belongs to the association of Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
