Haffstrom was a church and fishing village directly on the Fresh Lagoon in today's Gurjewsk Rajon in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad .

Geographical location

Haffstrom was on the northeast tip of the Frischer Haff at a point where the large body of water widens into a bay. It was eight kilometers to the city center of Kaliningrad via today's regional road 27A-020 (ex A194 , former German Reichsstrasse 1 ).

history

The small village was known before 1785 Have current , then until 1907 Hafestrom , then to 1946 Haffstrom and into the 1990s into Russian Schosseiny (of шоссе / storeys for Chaussee ).

In 1874 Hafestrom was incorporated into the newly established Kalgen District (Russian: Schosseinoje), which belonged to the Königsberg district (Prussia) in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . On February 27, 1907 Hafestrom received the official confirmation of the name spelling "Haffstrom".

In 1910 there were 190 inhabitants in Haffstrom. On September 30, 1928, the rural community was enlarged to include the Kalgen manor district , which was incorporated. The population rose to 511 by 1933.

On April 1, 1939, Haffstrom had to give up its independence and was incorporated into the municipality and the municipality of Königsberg (Prussia) together with the neighboring town of Prappeln (Russian: Tschapajewo) .

Königsberg came to the Soviet Union in 1945 with northern East Prussia . The Haffstrom district was apparently not repopulated and no longer exists.

church

Church building

The church in Haffstrom was an order church from around 1350. The east gable, which was provided with large panels, still had the strict forms of that time. Several porches were built on the nave in the 18th century, such as the sacristy, the baptistery and the crypt. "The west tower was rebuilt using old parts in 1817. The patronage church was carefully furnished. The stained glass from 1837 was modeled on the cathedral in Rouen and in Cologne cathedral by Vaertel from Munich. The altar around 1645 is a work of the fading Mannerism . " The cemetery extended around the church until 1945 (see historical map 1939 in item no. 2). The church was on the edge of the newly created bay (gravel extraction). The spot is now also in the water (item no. 2).

A godparent bell from Haffstrom, cast by Nikolaus Schmidichen in Königsberg in 1619, is now in the church of Groß Lobke .

Parish

In 1349 the Great Hospital in Königsberg (Prussia) was endowed with Haffstrom, which at that time was already a church village. The Lutheran Reformation came here early. Initially , the parish was subject to the inspection of the Königsberg preacher , last - until 1945 - it was incorporated into the parish of Königsberg-Land I in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
