Avgustowka ( Russian Августовка , German Drangsitten , Graventhien and Johnken ) is the common name of three originally independent places in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad , which belong to the Dolgorukowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Dolgorukowo (Domtau) ) in Eyon Bagrussishovsk district (district of Preußischowsk ).

Geographical location

Avgustowka is located northwest of the city of Bagrationowsk (Prussian Eylau) . The river Pasmar (Russian: Maiskaja) runs through the middle of the village from southeast to northwest . A side street connects Awgustowkla with Bagrationowsk on the one hand and with Slavskoje (Kreuzburg) on the other and leads beyond to the Russian trunk road R 516 (section of the former Reichsautobahn Berlin-Königsberg "Berlinka" ).

The next train station is Bagrationovsk as the end point of a train line coming from Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) . Until 1945 there was also a connection to the railway line from Heiligenbeil (Russian: Mamonowo) via Zinten (Kornewo) to Bagrationowsk via the Stablack station , which is now only used for military traffic in the last section.

history

Until 1945

Avgustowka / urgency

The former village called Drangsitten is located on the east bank of the Pasmar (Russian: Maiskaja) and six kilometers from Bagrationowsk (Prussian Eylau) . On July 26, 1897, the goods Drangsitten and Johnken (Russian also: Awgustowka) of the manor district of Knauten (Prudki) formed the new rural community Drangsitten in the district of Knauten . This belonged to the district of Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 7, 1904, a reclassification from the Knauten district to the Wogau district (Russian: Lermontowo) took place. In 1910, Drangsitten had 147 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, Drangsitten gave up its independence and united with Wogau (Lermontowo) to form the new rural community of Wogau. As a result of the Second World War , Drangsitten came with northern East Prussia to the Soviet Union and in 1946 received the Russian name "Avgustowka".

Avgustowka (Kamyshevo) / Graventhien

Seven kilometers from Bagrationowsk (Prussian Eylau) on the western side of the Pasmar (Russian: Maiskoaja) is the district formerly called Graventhien , a place with a large estate and a water mill. In 1874 the estate village in the administrative district was Dexen incorporated that the district Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1910 there were 105 inhabitants registered in Graventhien.

On February 20, 1925, the rural community Posmahlen (Russian: Puschkino) without the exclave Klein Dexen (Furmanowo) from the Wogau (Lermontowo) district was incorporated into the Graventhien manor district, and on September 30, 1928 the manor villages Görken (Dubrowka) and Graventhien to form the new rural community Graventhien. On May 14, 1930 Graventhien was reclassified from the Dexen district to the Wogau district. By 1933 the population rose to 301 and in 1939 it was 315.

Graventhien also came to the Soviet Union in 1945 and in 1946 was given the Russian name "Kamyshevo".

Avgustowka / Johnken

The former Vorwerk and formerly known as Johnken , later called Gutsdorf, is seven kilometers west of Bagrationowsk (Preussisch Eylau) . On July 26, 1897, the new rural community Drangsitten was formed from the goods Johnken and Drangsitten (Russian also: Awgustowka) of the manor district Knauten (Prudki) , with whose further history Johnken was closely connected. It belonged to the district of Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Like urgency and gravity, Johnken also came to the Soviet Union in 1945 and was given the Russian name "Avgustowka" in 1946.

Since 1946

The three places formerly called Drangsitten and Johnken or Graventhien with the Russian names Awgustowka and Kamyschewo belonged to the Orechowski Soviet (Dorfsovjet Orechowo (Althof) ) until 2009 . The village of Kamyshevo was renamed in 1993 and, like the two neighboring villages, was named Avgustowka.

In the years 2008/9 a structural and administrative reform took place in the Kaliningrad Oblast, as a result of which Avgustowka with its three districts became a "settlement" (Russian: possjolok) within the Dolgorukowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Dolgorukowo (Domtau) ) in Bagrationovsk Raion .

church

Before 1945 the inhabitants of Drangsitten, Graventhien and Johnken were almost without exception Protestant denominations. While Drangsitten and Johnken were parish in the Schmoditten parish (Russian: Rjabinowka), Graventhien belonged to the parish of Klein Dexen (Furmanowo), from 1938 Stablack (Dolgorukowo). They were in the parish of Preußisch Eylau (Bagrationowsk) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

During the time of the Soviet Union , church life was prohibited by the state. It was not until the 1990s that new Protestant parishes formed in the Kaliningrad Oblast , of which the village parish in Gwardeiskoje (Mühlhausen) is closest to Avgustowka. It is a subsidiary of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) and belongs to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
