Opotschenskoje ( Russian Опоченское Opotschenskoje , German Groß Skirlack and Klein Skirlack) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad ( Koenigsberg region (Prussia) ). It is located in Osjorsk Rajon ( Darkehmen district , 1938–1946 Angerapp ) and belongs to the Novostrojewskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Novostrojewo ( Trempen )).
Geographical location
Opotschenskoje is 17 kilometers southwest of Osjorsk ( Darkehmen , 1938-1946 Angerapp ) on a side road that connects Saosjornoje ( Kowarren , 1938-1946 Kleinfriedeck ) on the Russian trunk road R 508 with Novostrojewo ( Trempen ). There is also a direct road connection from Opotschenskoje via Oljochowo ( Greaves ) to Luschki ( Tarputschen , 1938–1946 Sauckenhof ). There is no train connection.
history
The places formerly known as “Groß Skirlack” (today the eastern part of what is now Opotschenskoje) and “Klein Skirlack” (western part) had 326 inhabitants in 1863. Between 1874 and 1945 it was the administrative village of the district of Skirlack, which belonged to the Darkehmen district (1938 Angerapp district , 1939–1945 Angerapp district ) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
In 1907 there were 305 people in Groß Skirlack, in 1925 there were 246, in 1933 262 and in 1939 still 229. The last German mayor before 1945 was Richard Schneidereit .
In 1945, Groß Skirlack and Klein Skirlack were incorporated into the Soviet Union with all of northern East Prussia . Both villages were combined in 1946 and given the common name "Opotschenskoje". Until 2009, the place was in the since 1991/92 Russian Oblast Kaliningrad part of the Novostrojewski soviet (Dorfsovjet Novostrojewo ( Trempen )) and then - due to a structural and administrative reform - it was classified as a "settlement" in the Novostrojewskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Novostrojewo) within Osjorsk Raion .
The places Groß Skirlack and Klein Skirlack actually formed a common village even in pre-war times, as the transition between the two places was almost fluid. Klein Skirlack, a little to the east, was in any case a district of Groß Skirlack to the west until 1945. So it was obvious for the new Soviet administration to combine both places.
Today's place is limited to a few buildings on the south side of the thoroughfare of the former Klein Skirlack district. Even if there is only a little old building fabric left here, one can still guess the extent of the former location based on the old trees and the still existing paths of the originally much larger town.
On the other hand, from the former Groß Skirlack there is only one homestead left at the fork in the road in the west of the old location on the old buildings. This homestead used to mark the exit from the village in the direction of Klein Skirlack. The actual center of Groß Skirlack was to the east of this homestead on both sides of the thoroughfare. No buildings have been preserved on this area. In the north of the former location, the tree-lined old cemetery can still be seen.
Skirlack District (1874–1945)
On May 6, 1874, the newly established district of Skirlack was formed from five rural communities and one manor district and existed until 1945:

church
With its predominantly Protestant population, Groß Skirlack was parish in the parish of Trempen (Russian: Novostrojewo) before 1945 . It belonged to the church district Darkehmen (1938-1946 Angerapp ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Kurt Murach .
Church life was forbidden during the time of the Soviet Union . In the 1990s, new Protestant parishes were formed in the Kaliningrad Oblast, which belonged to the Kaliningrad provost in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELCER). Opotschenskoje is located in the area of the church region of the Salzburg Church in Gussew ( Gumbinnen ).
school
United Skirlack had a two-class elementary school, which in 1798 on the orders of King of Prussia before 1945 Friedrich Wilhelm I was erected. It was south of the village on the way to Mikalbude (1938–1945 Mickelau , Russian: Sutschkowo). The school association included the village of Adlig Pillkallen (1921–1938 Neu Pillkallen , 1938–1945 Rüttelsdorf , since 1950: Moschenskoje) and - until 1825 - also greaves (since 1947: Oljochowo).
