history

The village, called Moythienen until 1945 , was incorporated into the newly created district of Aweyden (now in Polish: Nawiady) on April 8, 1874 . He belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945 Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On December 1, 1910, 210 residents were registered in Moythienen, 197 in 1933 and 202 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Moythienen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Moythienen, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, Moythienen came to Poland in 1945 and received the Polish name "Mojtyny". Today Mojtyny forms with the settlement Uklanka (Uklanken , 1938 to 1945 Erbmühle) a Schulzenamt within the rural community Piecki (whip village ) in powiat Mrągowski in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Olsztyn Voivodeship ).
