Dokutschajewo ( Russian Докучаево , German Samonienen , 1938-1945 riding stables ) is a small settlement within the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Nesterov in Nesterovsky District .

Geographical location

Dokuchayevo is two kilometers west of Tschistyje Prudy (Tollmingkehmen / Tollmingen) on the municipal road 27K-180 to Sadowoje (Elluschönen / Ellern) . Until the 1970s, Tschistyje Prudy was the next station on the Gołdap – Nesterow line , which was only operated in the Russian section after 1945 and was then discontinued.

Place name

The German place name Samonienen is derived from Samanynai or Samynynas , which means something like "Moosboden" and thus probably alludes to the moor in the area. There is a second place with the same name in the Goldap district 20 kilometers further south in what is now Poland , which is now called " Samoniny ".

history

The former Samonien was mentioned for the first time in 1557.

The Great Plague 1708-1710 probably nobody survived in place since 1719 noted a commission that no one here live longer. Therefore, a 200 hectare was big well as a royal in Samonienen Vorwerk established that the domain Vorwerk in neighboring Tollmingkehmen was assigned (Chistye Prudy).

In 1812 Tollmingkehmen and Samonien were put up for auction . Johann Kaeswurm acquired the Samonienen estate in 1817 and the Tollmingkehmen estate in 1821. The Kaeswurm family sold the property to Otto Rothe, who had already acquired Tollmingkehmen and now combined both goods. Samonienen remained in the possession of the Rothe family until 1945.

In 1910 there were 100 inhabitants in Samonienen. After the First World War , Karl Rothe started successful Trakehner horse breeding, which was able to build on a foundation in 1828. From her went u. a. the Olympic horses Kronos and Absinth 1936 emerged as winners. The landowner's passion for horses may also have been the reason for replacing the name Samonien in 1938 with the name “Reiterhof”.

On March 18, 1874, the Samonienen manor district was one of 14 communities and manor districts that formed the newly established Tollmingkehmen district (1939–1946 Tollmingen district ). On September 30, 1928, the Samonienen manor district was merged with the Tollmingkehmen manor district and the Tollmingkehmen rural community to form the new Tollmingkehmen rural community . Until 1945 it remained in the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the Second World War , the manor village came to the Soviet Union . In 1950 it was given the Russian name Dokuchajewo and at the same time was assigned to the village Soviet Tschistoprudnenski selski Sowet in Nesterow Raion . The manor house built in 1863, which survived the war relatively unscathed, became a hospital and later a kindergarten. In the 1970s it was used as living space for immigrants from Kyrgyzstan . The stables and barns built in 1830 were demolished in the 1990s to get the coveted bricks. From 2008 to 2018, Dokuchayevo belonged to the rural municipality of Tschistoprudnenskoje selskoe posselenije and since then to the urban district of Nesterow.

church

Ecclesiastically, Samonien or Reiterhof with its predominantly Protestant population before 1945 was parish in the parish of Tollmingkehmen (1938–1946 Tollmingen , today Russian: Tschistyje Prudy) in the parish of Goldap in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Emil Moysich .

After the ban on all church activities during the time of the Soviet Union , a Protestant congregation was established again in Tschistyje Prudy in the 1990s, which belonged to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELCER). The responsible rectory is that of the Salzburg Church in Gussew ( Gumbinnen ).
