Schtscheglowka ( Russian Щегловка , German Great Britain , 1928 to 1947 Brittania , Lithuanian Britanija ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Slawsk in slavsky district .

Geographical location

Schcheglowka is four kilometers northwest of the district town Slavsk on the regional road 27A-034 (ex R513 ), which runs from Sovetsk (Tilsit) to Jasnoye (Kaukehmen , 1938 to 1946 Kuckerneese) .

Schtscheglowka Novaya (until 1945 Brittania (Eastern Pr.)) Has been a station on the Kaliningrad – Sovetsk (Königsberg – Tilsit) railway since 1891 . Until 1945 the place was also a small railway station of the Niederungsbahn (from 1938 Elchniederungsbahn), from which from 1902 a railway line to Karkeln (today Russian: Myssowka) and from 1911 another railway line to Seckenburg (until 1938: Groß Kryszahnen, today Russian: Sapowednoje) led.

history

The small village, whose importance increased with the construction of the Reichsbahn line from Königsberg to Tilsit, was a manor village called Adlig Groß Brittanien when it was converted into the rural community of Groß Brittanien on April 18, 1925 . Since 1874 the place was incorporated into the administrative district Linkuhnen (today Russian: Rschewskoje), which until 1945 belonged to the Niederung district (from 1938 Elchniederung district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 30, 1928, the manor districts Adlig Heinrichswalde (no longer exists) and Adlig Lembruch (Russian: Lespestkowo, also no longer exists today) joined the rural communities of Greater Brittania, Little Brittania and Warnie (both no longer exist) to form the new rural community Brittania together.

In 1910 91 inhabitants were registered in Noble Great Britain. In 1925 the population of Great Britain was 219, and in 1933 there were 348 people in Britain, compared with 334 in 1939.

As a result of the Second World War , Britain and northern East Prussia became part of the Soviet Union in 1945 . The place was given the Russian name Shcheglowka in 1947 and was assigned at the same time to the village soviet Timirjasewski selski soviet in Slavsk Raion . From 2008 to 2015 Shcheglowka belonged to the rural municipality Timirjasewskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Slavsk.

church

The largely Protestant population of (Great) Britain was parish before 1945 in the parish of the Heinrichswalde church. It belonged to the parish of Niederung in the church province of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The ecclesiastical connection of the current Shcheglowka to the city now called Slavsk still exists today since a new Evangelical Lutheran congregation was formed there in the 1990s. It is the parish of the church region of the same name within the Kaliningrad (Königsberg) provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
