Dubrowka ( Russian Дубровка , German Spannegeln , Lithuanian Spanėgai , also: Spanėgėliai ) is a place in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Slawsk in slavsky district . The former Spannegeln is abandoned, however. Today's Dubrowka apparently consists of two residential areas in the area of the former Lankeningken / Langenheim (two kilometers north of Spannegeln) and the former Treinlauken / Kreuzberg (two kilometers south of Spannegeln).
Dubrowka is located about 25 kilometers south of the Rajonstadt Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) and can be reached from the federal road A216 (former German Reichsstraße 138 , today also Europastraße 77 ) from Sowetskoje (Korehlen) via secondary roads. There is no train connection.
In 1910 there were 212 inhabitants registered in Spannegeln. Their number rose to 252 by 1933 and was still 214 in 1939.
As a result of the war, Spannegeln came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 . The place received the Russian name "Dubrowka" in 1947 and was assigned at the same time to the village Soviet Kalinowski selski Sowet in the Bolshakovo district . The towns of Lankeningken / Langenheim, Paringen / Paaringen, Treinlauken / Kreuzberg and Wittgirren / Weißenbruch (if still available) were also included in Dubrowka. Later Dubrowka got into the Bolshakowski selski Sowet . Since 1963 the place belongs to the Slavsk Raion . Around 1980 Dubrowka moved to the Vysokovsky selski Sowet . From 2008 to 2015 the place belonged to the rural municipality Bolshakowskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Slavsk. The last buildings in the former Spannegeln were demolished around 2018.
