Around the year 1539 that before 1785 was Holtunien after 1785 Mont's , according to 1818 Moncien and until 1938 Monczen called village founded.

From 1874 to 1945 the village was in the District Elk Country based in Neuendorf ( Polish Nowa Wieś Ełcka incorporated) that the county elk in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

In 1910 there were 106 inhabitants registered in Monczen. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Monczen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Monczen, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

The population was 103 in 1933 and - after the village was renamed "Montzen" on June 3, 1938 - 115 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945, along with all of southern East Prussia , and since then has borne the Polish name form "Mącze".
