Ackmenischken, Ksp. Obehlischken was a village in the East Prussian district of Insterburg , on the territory of today's Russian Oblast Kaliningrad . The location is on the south bank of the Auxinne (1938–1945 Goldfließ , Russian: Golubaja) between Botschagi (Schlossberg) and Selenzowo (Obehlischken , 1938–1945 Schulzenhof ') in the Chernyakhovsk district .

history

The village belonged since 1846 to the parish of the Church Obehlischken and since 1874 the District Obehlischken (1938 Schulzenhof , now Russian: Selenzowo). It was near Norkitten (today in Russian: Meschduretschje) about 20 kilometers west of Insterburg (today: Chernyakhovsk). This region was badly affected by the plague epidemic in 1709/10.

On June 3 (confirmed July 16) 1938 Ackmenischken was renamed Sittenfelde . On April 1, 1939, it was incorporated into the municipality of Kirschland (until 1938 Schernupchen , no longer existent today) with the loss of its previous name .

As a result of the Second World War , the village, like the neighboring Schernupchen, was abandoned by the German population.

Surname

The name Ackmenischken describes stony terrain. It is derived from Prussian akmenis for stone, rock, rock, chunks or from Kurish akmins for stone . There were two other places with the same name in East Prussia.

Population development

In 1933 Ackmenischken had 151 inhabitants, the neighboring Schernupchen 117 inhabitants (altogether 268 inhabitants). By 1939 the population of the two villages united to form the municipality of Kirschland had fallen to 233.
