history

The small village called Bielsken after 1818 and Bilsken until 1938 was founded in 1476. Before 1945 it consisted of several large and small courtyards.

Between 1874 and 1945 the village was in the District United Konopken ( Polish Konopki Wielkie ) integrated, the - 1938 in the district of Hanffen renamed - to 1945 for county Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905-1945 Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. At the same time Bilsken was assigned to the registry office Groß Konopken / Hanffen.

In 1910 Bilsken had 122 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 109 and in 1939 - the village was renamed Billsee in 1938 - 108 inhabitants.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Bilsken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Bilsken, 80 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name Bielskie . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and as such a district of the rural community Miłki (Milken) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
