The small village, called Trzunky before 1579, Trzionken before 1785 and Trzonken until 1938 , was founded in 1513 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a free estate with 20 hooves under Magdeburg law .

The place belonged to the circle Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia . From 1874 to 1945 it was incorporated into the Sdorren District (from 1938 "Dorren District").

In 1910 there were 231 residents registered in Trzonken. Their number rose to 284 by 1933 and was still 282 in 1939.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 Trzonken was foreign-sounding place names in "Mövenau" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed .

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Trzonki”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the city and rural community Pisz ( German Johannisburg ) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
