history

The little place called Biencken was in 1785 a " köllmisches estate with a mill and two fireplaces". In 1874 the manor district of Bienken was incorporated into the newly established district of Borowen ( Borowe in Polish ) in the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 30, 1928 the manor district of Bienken lost its independence and was incorporated into Ganthen ( Gant in Polish ). On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938 the name of Bienken was changed to "Bönigken".

In 1945 the village was transferred to Poland in the wake of the war with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Bieńki". Today it is included in the place Głogno ( German Glognau ) and thus belongs to the rural community Piecki (Peitschendorf) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
