The small former Gutsdorf Wensewen (also: Wensöwen ) was founded in 1484.
In 1874 the town to the recently completed came District Eckersberg , which existed until 1945 and the county Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen : (1905 Government district Allenstein of) Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wensenwen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Wensewen, 60 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.
On September 30, 1928, Wensewen gave up its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Eckersberg, and on June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938 the place was renamed "Wensen" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names renamed .
In 1945 all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland as a result of the war . Wensewen resp. Wensen concerned. The village received the Polish form of the name "Wężewo". The hamlet ( Osada in Polish ) is now the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Sołectwo in Polish ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Orzysz (Arys) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship associated.
