The former Groß Heydekrug was built at the time of the order in the Prussian tribal area of ​​Samland at a convenient location with a jug that was leased out on a long lease. In German times there was a Heydekrug until the end, and there were other restaurants next to it. The place, whose inhabitants actually lived from fishing , developed into a popular destination for the Königsbergers .

In 1874, Groß Heydekrug was incorporated into the newly established Kaporn district (Russian: Spasskoje, then: Vsmorje, no longer existing today). He belonged to the district of Fischhausen in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On November 18, 1889, the village of Klein Heydekrug was incorporated into the rural community of Groß Heydekrug, which on December 1, 1910 had a total of 1,171 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Kaporn, the estate district of Adlig Kaporn and Groß Heydekrug merged to form the new rural community of Groß Heydekrug.

On May 18, 1930, Groß Heydekrug became the eponymous place and seat of an administrative district, which was created by renaming the previous administrative district of Kaporn. At that time, the two rural communities Groß Heydekrug and Nautzwinkel (Russian: Schukowskoje, no longer existent) were incorporated. The administrative district, the name of which was changed to "Großheidekrug" on January 26, 1939, belonged to the Fischhausen district until 1939, to the Samland district from 1939 and existed until 1945.

The population rose to 2,064 by 1933 and was already 2,412 in 1939.

On January 30, 1945, the Red Army was able to advance from the north via Metgethen to Großheidekrug to the Frischen Haff and thus interrupt the rail and road connection between Königsberg and the seaport of Pillau . On February 19, the German Wehrmacht managed to recapture the region in fierce fighting, creating a corridor between the two cities for weeks. On April 14th, Großheidekrug was definitely occupied by the Red Army.

The place came in 1945 with northern East Prussia to the Soviet Union and in 1947 received the Russian name "Vsmorje". The German population fled or perished. At the same time, the village, which was populated with immigrants from the Soviet Union, became the seat of a village soviet in Primorsk Raion . After the dissolution of this village soviet in 1954, Vsmorje was probably assigned to the so-called Kaliningrad suburb zone, which was administered from the city of Kaliningrad . Vsmorje was later administered from the city of Svetly and has been part of the city ​​district of Svetly since 1994 .

Wsmorjewski selski Sowet 1947–1954

The village soviet Vsmorjewski selski Sowet (ru. Взморьевский сельский Совет) was established in July 1947 in Primorsk Raion . In 1954 it was dissolved again and attached to the Logwinski selski Sowet . The places Spasskoye and Vsmorje possibly ended up in the so-called Kaliningrad suburb zone at this time.

Church building

Groß Heydekrug was given its own church with the inauguration on November 15, 1931. Until then, church services had been held in the school since 1744. The church was an exposed brick building , the interior of which could be enlarged by connecting it to the parish hall. Instead of a tower, the church had a small roof turret with a bell donated by the mother church in Medenau (today in Russian: Logwino ).

The church stood on the eastern outskirts south of the main street not far from the rectory that still exists today. It was badly damaged in the final months of the war and the ruins were demolished in 1948.

Parish

Even before the Reformation , Groß Heydekrug was incorporated into the parish of the Medenau Church (Logwino). It belonged before 1945 to Kirchenkreis Fischhausen (Primorsk) in the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union . The growing number of inhabitants made the deployment of an assistant preacher necessary as early as 1896 and in 1909 Groß Heydekrug became a special pastoral care district. Finally, in 1929 an independent parish was founded, which remained in association with the mother church. The parish of Groß Heydekrug had 2,000 parishioners in the 1925 census.

After 1945, due to flight and displacement and restrictive state laws, church life in Vsmorje came to a standstill. In the 1990s, new Evangelical Lutheran congregations emerged in Kaliningrad Oblast, the closest of which is in Swetly (room shack) . It is a subsidiary of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .

school

A school existed in Groß Heydekrug since 1744.
