history
The forester Alexen belonged before 1945 to the state forest Old Sternberg (Russian: Podlipnoje, no longer in existence). In 1874 the rural community was incorporated into the Mehlauken district (from 1938 to 1945 "Liebenfelde district (Ostpr.)"), Which belonged to the Labiau district in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 825 inhabitants registered in Alexen.
Alexen, which was renamed "Grotfeld" on July 9, 1930, merged with Mehlauken on February 12, 1926 to form the new rural community of Mehlauken. As a district it came with the then "Liebenfelde" called community within northern East Prussia to the Soviet Union .
In 1947 the place was given the Russian name "Alexandrowka", which is widespread in Russia, and was assigned at the same time to the village soviet Zalessovsky selski Sowet in the Bolshakovo district . Since 1965 the place belongs to the Polessk Raion . From 2008 to 2016 Alexandrowka belonged to the rural municipality Zalessovskoye selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Polessk.
