history

In the small manor village formerly known as Menkimmen , only 38 inhabitants lived in 1818. Their number rose to 70 by 1863.

In 1874 Menkimmen formed together with twelve other municipalities the newly established administrative district Carpowen ( Karpowen , 1939–1946 Karpauen , since 1946: Nekrassowo). He was in the Darkehmen district (1938 Angerapp district , 1939–1945 Angerapp district ) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Menkimmen's independence ended on September 30, 1928. The manor district merged with the manor district of Lenkehlischken to form the new rural community of Lenkehlischken (1938–1946 Gutbergen , since 1946: Gogolewskoje). On June 3, 1938, Menkimmen was renamed Menken .

After the Second World War the place came under Soviet administration and was renamed Prudnoye in 1947. In the Kaliningrad local directory of 1976 the former Menkimmen / Menken was then (also) referred to as Demidowka. Until 2008 Demidowka was incorporated into the village Soviet or village district Novostrojewski selski Sowet (okrug) . Then it came to the newly formed rural community Novostrojewskoje selskoje posselenije and has been part of the municipal self-government unit of the Osjorsk district since 2014.

church

The almost exclusively evangelical population of Menkimmen / Menken was parish in the parish of Trempen (Russian: Novostrojewo) until 1945 . It belonged to the Darkehmen church district (1938–1946 Angerapp , since 1946: Osjorsk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

After all ecclesiastical life was banned during the Soviet Union , numerous new Protestant parishes emerged in the Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, since 1991/92. They came together in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELCER). Demidowka is located in the catchment area of ​​the parish of the Salzburg Church in Gussew ( Gumbinnen ).
