history
The founding date of the village, called Mednicken until 1946, is in 1338. The place was awarded to the Sudauer prince Gedete , whose family died out in the 15th century. In 1488 the property came to the von Packmohr family and in 1491 to Hans von Kanitz in exchange for the town of Allenburg pledged to him by the Teutonic Order (today in Russian: Druschba). The property remained in his family until 1945 (last owner: Friedrich Hans Theodor Bernd Graf von Kanitz-Mednicken).
From 1530 onwards, in addition to Mednicken, the neighboring estates of Rosignaiten, Strittkeim, Wilgaiten, Warglitten, Saggehnen, Hohenwalde, Schreinen and Alkehnen are also mentioned as belonging to the von Kanitz family. This also acquired the Mühlfeld Vorwerk with an associated water mill in 1533, the Wargen castle complex in 1539 , Boxinen (later Bugsienen) in 1563 and Placklauken (later Mushroom jug) in 1564. In 1569 the Katzenblick and Kattersgut estates (later goldsmiths) and in 1608 Dommelkeim were added. In 1619, however, these goods from the estate of Erich von Kanitz were divided between the three brothers Salomon, Georg and Melchior von Kanitz. Further divisions and sales followed. A 1762 by Samuel Friedrich von Kanitz in his will, donated Familienfideikommiss , which included not only Mednicken still Mühlfeld and Boxinen, fell 1,778 to Henning Friedrich von Kanitz and subsequently to its offspring. As early as 1781, Mednicken was leased to the Rauschning family, who held the lease until 1900 with a brief interruption. Further leases followed until the estate, which was meanwhile in a dilapidated state, was taken over by the von Kanitz family again after the last lease had expired in 1921, which lasted until 1945. Particular efforts were made to develop and maintain the forest, the beauty of which was praised at the time. During the war years, the expansion of the military airfield in neighboring Prowehren , which increasingly encroached on Mednick territory, however, impaired the operation of the estate.
On June 13, 1874, Mednicken was the district village and eponymous place for an administrative district that only included the Mednicken manor district. He belonged to the circle Fischhausen in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 183 inhabitants registered in Mednicken.
On September 30, 1928, Mednicken lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Wargen (now in Russian: Kotelnikowo) and thus into the Landkeim district (the place no longer exists). This was renamed on May 18, 1930 in “Wargen District”, which in 1939 joined the Samland district .
As a result of the war, Mednicken came to the Soviet Union in 1945 with his estate and a few smaller farms within northern East Prussia . In 1947 the place received the Russian name Druzhnoye again and was assigned to the village soviet Pereslavski selski Sowet in Primorsk Raion at the same time . From 2005 to 2015 Druzhnoye belonged to the rural municipality of Pereslavskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district of Zelenogradsk.
