history

The founding date of the village, then still known as Steindamerau , is September 14, 1436: on this day, Commander Johann von Belnhausen in Steindamerau prescribed 60 hooves to Magdeburg law . In 1785 Camjontken was a royal farming village with 30 fire places , in 1818 Camnionken already had 35 fire places with 233 inhabitants.

On March 29, 1874, Camionken became Amtsdorf and thus gave its name to an administrative district that - renamed " Amtsgebiet Steintal" in 1928 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the district of Lötzen in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: administrative district of Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 522 residents registered in Kamionken . Their number decreased to 501 by 1933 and totaled 507 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kamionken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kamionken, 420 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes. On March 13, 1928, Kamionken was renamed "Steintal".

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and uses the Polish form of the name "Kamionki". Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a place within the Gmina Giżycko (rural community Lötzen ) in the powiat Giżycki (district Lötzen ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship.
