The small town, then called Mörsöwen , was founded in 1427. Before 1818 it was still Mnierziewen , after 1818 it was called Mnierczeiewen . On February 6, 1928, the village was renamed Mertenau .
From 1874 to 1945 Mnierczeiewen belonged to the district of Groß Jauer ( Jora Wielka in Polish ). He was part of the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 and 1945 was: administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
The seat of the responsible registry office was also Groß Jauer until 1945.
In 1910 there were 113 inhabitants in Mnierczeiewen. Their number rose slightly to 122 by 1933 and was 116 in 1939.
Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Mnierczeiewen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Mnierczeiewen, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.
In 1945, the now "Mertenau" said village came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Mierzejewo". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring town of Sądry (Zondern) . As such it belongs to the association of Gmina Mrągowo (rural municipality Sensburg ) in powiat Mrągowski (district Sensburg ), before 1998 to the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
