Gorkowskoje ( Russian Горьковское , German Watzum , until 1902: Wartnicken ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Selenogradsk in Zelenogradsky District .
Geographical location
Gorkowskoje is located eight kilometers southeast of the city of Swetlogorsk (Rauschen) and 24 kilometers southwest of the district town of Zelenogradsk (Cranz) on the Russian highway A 192 (section of the former German Reichsstraße 143 ). In the village, a side road joins the trunk road from the southeast from the now submerged town of Thierenberg (Russian: Dunajewka) via Listopadowka (Bärholz) and Dubrowka (Regehnen) . Romanowo (Pobethen) - called Watzum-Pobethen until 1945 - is the next station on the Kaliningrad – Swetlogorsk railway , the former Samland Railway .
history
The manor village, called Watzum until 1946 , was a noble estate - the only one in the wider area of Pobethen (today in Russian: Romanowo). In 1874 the village called Wartnicken at the time was incorporated into the newly established Woytnicken district (Russian: Wolodino, no longer existent), which belonged to the Fischhausen district (1939 to 1945 Samland district ) in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
For reasons of possible confusion with Warnicken (now Russian: Lesnoje), which is also located on the Samland Railway , Wartnicken was renamed “ Watzum ” on November 16, 1902 . This name was chosen by the then landowner von König , who owned an ancestral estate of the same name - Watzum in what is now Lower Saxony's district of Wolfenbüttel .
In 1910 Watzum had 115 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the place lost its independence and was incorporated into Regehnen (today Russian: Dubrowka).
As a result of the war, Watzum came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 . The place received the Russian name Gorkowskoje again in 1950 and was assigned at the same time to the village soviet Romanowski selski Sowet in Primorsk Raion . From 2005 to 2015 Gorkovskoye belonged to the rural municipality of Kovrovskoye selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district of Zelenogradsk.
church
With its predominantly Protestant population, Watzum was incorporated into the parish of the parish church in Pobethen (today Russian: Romanowo) before 1945 . It belonged to the parish of Fischhausen (Primorsk) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Gorkowskoje is located in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Zelenogradsk (Cranz) , a branch congregation of the Resurrection Church in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
