history

Heiligenkreutz, north of Fischhausen and not far from the Samland amber coast, on a map from 1910.

The place, which was formerly known as Heiligenkreutz , was founded in the 13th century and was located in the so-called Sudauischen Winkel , which stretched from the Baltic Sea to Pobethen (today in Russian: Romanowo). The order endeavored to defeat the last not yet subjugated Sudauers. With the conversion of the leader Kantegerd , the goal was finally achieved. According to legend, the first Christian cross in Samland was erected in Heiligenkreutz on an old Prussian holy place . To confirm this, a chapel was built here - mentioned on December 24, 1353 .

Gut Heiligenkreutz was for a long time a preliminary work of Gut Palmnicken (today Russian: Jantarny). On June 13, 1874, Holy Kreutz Headquarters and the eponymous site of a newly built administrative district that existed until 1945 and for district Fischhausen 1939-1945, the district Samland in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1895 116 people lived in the village of Heiligenkreutz and 49 people in the parish of Heiligenkreutz.

A few years after the turn of the 20th century, the Heiligenkreutz manor was incorporated into Palmnicken (Jantarny), the Heiligenkreutz rectory followed on October 23, 1911. On September 30 and December 1, 1928, the two Heiligenkreutz exclaves of the Palmnicken manor were incorporated into the The rural community of Wangnicken (now in Russian: Jantarowka) was incorporated and Wangnicken was renamed "Heiligenkreutz". This newly formed municipality had a total of 431 inhabitants in 1933 and 429 in 1939.

As a result of the Second World War , Heiligenkreutz came to the Soviet Union in 1945 with northern East Prussia . In 1947 the place received the Russian name "Krasnotorowka" and was assigned at the same time to the village soviet Jantarski selski Sowet in Primorsk Raion .

In 2000 Krasnotorowka became the seat of a village district and in 2005 the seat of a rural parish. Since the dissolution of this rural community in 2015, the place has belonged to the city district of Zelenogradsk.

Church building

The Heiligenkreutz church, which was located in the south-east of the village and which today is only evidence of the remains of the wall hidden under rubble, was a brick building on a stone foundation with a square tower and a recently closed choir. Its oldest parts date from the 14th century when a chapel was built here - mentioned in a document on December 24, 1353 - which was later incorporated into a new building. The church survived the two world wars in the 20th century, but not the post-war use as a leisure club building, which was exposed to constant decline. At the end of the 1960s, the church fell victim to a fire, presumably by arson. The remaining ruins were torn off.
