Dunajewka ( Russian Дунаевка , German Thierenberg ) is an extinct village in the former northern East Prussia in the Zelenogradsk Raion in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad .
history
Until 1945
Thierenberg belonged to the Samland diocese in the Middle Ages . Bishop Kristan von Mühlhausen (1276–1295) founded the Chamber Office Medenau (today Logwino ) and the Chamber Office Rinau (no longer exist today) not far from Pojerstieten (Russian: Kolodzy, also no longer existent) in Samland . The parishes of Thierenberg, Kumehnen (today Kumatschowo , Zelenogradsk Rajon ) and Heiligenkreutz (today Krasnotorowka ) emerged from the latter , and Thierenberg replaced Rinau as the official residence around the middle of the 14th century after it had been dissolved. On the site of a Prussian fortress, a castle was built in 1270–1275, for the construction of which Landmeister Conrad von Tyrberg was responsible, whose name was also given to the church village that was being built here.
On a hill near the castle, the church was built soon after 1330 with the stepped gable tower that is characteristic of the brick Gothic in the Order Land. She was considered one of the oldest in Samland. Inside there was an altar from 1511–1518 and a pentagonal pulpit from 1581.
The castle was demolished in the 17th century. The Thierenberg Castle estate emerged from the Chamber of Commerce, to which the Vorwerke Dulack (north, no longer exists), Markehnen and Bärholz (north-east, today corresponding to Krasnowka and Listopadowka ) and Auerhof (east, no longer exists) belonged. In the 20th century, Markehnen became an independent estate with the Dulack and Bärholz works. In addition to the former Kammergut, there was also an aristocratic Thierenberg estate on the far, southern bank of the Thierenberger Mühlenfließ (today Mutschnaja ).
Thierenberg belonged to the central Samland in the district of Fischhausen , after it was merged with the district of Königsberg in 1939 in the district of Samland .
Thierenberg Ordensburg
Thierenberg replaced Rinau as the official seat in the middle of the 14th century after it had been dissolved. On the site of a Prussian fortification, a castle of the Teutonic Order was built in 1270–1275 , for the construction of which Landmeister Conrad von Tyrberg was responsible, whose name was also given to the church village being built here. The castle was demolished in the 17th century. The Thierenberg Castle estate emerged from the Chamber of Commerce, to which the Vorwerke Dulack (north, no longer exists), Markehnen and Bärholz (north-east, today corresponding to Krasnowka and Listopadowka ) and Auerhof (east, no longer exists) belonged.
On a hill near the castle, the church was built soon after 1330 with the stepped gable tower that is characteristic of the brick Gothic in the Order Land.
Thierenberg District (1874–1945)
Between 1874 and 1945 Thierenberg was the seat and eponymous place of an administrative district in the district of Fischhausen , from 1939 to 1945 the district of Samland , in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Initially there were four rural communities (LG) and two manor districts (GB):
| German name | Russian name | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Arissau (LG) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Thierenberg | |
| Düringswalde (GB) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Norgau | |
| Berths (LG) | ||
| Norgau (LG) | Medvedevo | |
| Thierenberg (LG) | Dunayevka | |
| Thierenberg, Castle (GB) | was dissolved in 1914 | |
| from 1877: Bärholz (GB) | Listopadowka | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Thierenberg |
| from 1884: Marrow Tendons (GB) | Krasnovka | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Thierenberg |
| from 1897: Auerhof (GB) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Thierenberg |
Due to the numerous restructuring, only three communities formed the district of Thierenberg on January 1, 1945: Kojehnen, Norgau and Thierenberg.
church
The Thierenberg Church dates from around 1350 and was a plastered brick building with rich furnishings . The pulpit from 1581 was one of the most beautiful in Samland .
Thierenberg was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. Until 1945 the parish belonged to the Protestant parish of Fischhausen in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
For parish Thierberg belonged to 1945, the rural communities Thierberg, Arissau, Auerhof (both no longer in existence), Bärholz , Kojehnen (no longer exists): (Listopadowka Russian) Kompehnen (Niwy), small Dirschkeim (Dworiki) with Romehnen (no longer in existence ) Korwingen (Olchowoje) Streitberg and Lindeberg (both not more exist), Drugtehnen (Gussewka) Düringswalde (no longer exists), cherry swab , Markehnen (Krasnowka) with Dulack, Norgau (medvedevo) and small Norgau (Ramenskoje no longer existent), willow tendons (Schatrowo).
After 1945
Thierenberg, north of the main battle line, was spared the heavy fighting in western Samland in April 1945. After the Soviet Union took the area, an airfield was built northeast of Thierenberg. The village with its church, which was renamed Dunajewka for a short time and was initially populated, was demolished in order to obtain building material. Most of the neighboring towns suffered the same fate. Today the area around Dunayevka is largely wasteland.
