history

The Gutsdorf, known as Alt Wehlau until 1946, with a watermill ("Alt Wehlauer Mühle") was originally part of Sanditten (today Russian: Lunino) and was incorporated into the district of the same name via the mother community . This was in the district of Wehlau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The small town, which had only 59 inhabitants in 1905, belonged to the municipality of Wehlau (Russian: Snamensk) in 1939 .

In 1945 Alt Wehlau came to the Soviet Union with all of northern East Prussia and in 1947 was given the Russian name Prudnoje. At the same time, the place was included in the Sorinski selski Sowet village in Gwardeisk Raion . From 2005 to 2014 the place belonged to the rural municipality Sorinskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district Gwardeisk.

church

As in almost all northeast Prussian villages, the population of Alt Wehlaus was predominantly of the Protestant denomination. Until 1945 the village belonged to the parish of the Jacobikirche in Wehlau (today Russian: Snamensk) in the church district of Wehlau in the church province of East Prussia in the church of the Old Prussian Union . Today, Prudnoje is located in the catchment area of ​​the Evangelical Lutheran parish in Bolschaja Poljana (Paterswalde) , a subsidiary of the Resurrection Church in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
