On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Biinien belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Bienien, 60 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

In the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign , the name spelling Bieniens was changed on June 3rd (officially confirmed on July 16) of the year 1938 in Binien . The population was 68 in 1939.
