history
On May 3, 1332 the locator received from the Komtur von Balga (today Russian: Wesjoloje), Heinrich von Muren , the festival for the settlement of farmers. He also became the first mayor of the place called Hohenfürst at that time. Hohenfürst experienced suffering and destruction in the town war (1454–1466) and in the equestrian war (1519–1521), so that in 1533 only four farm positions were occupied in the village.
With effect from June 11, 1874, an administrative district was formed with its seat in Hohenfürst, in which the rural communities Bönkenwalde (today Polish: Bieńkowo), Friedrichshof, Groß Hasselberg (Krzekoty), Hohenfürst (Wyszkowo), Klein Hasselberg (Krzekotki), Klein Lüdtkenfürst ( Lutkówko) as well as Rauschbach (Rusewo) and the manor districts Gottesgnade, Groß Hasselberg (Krzekoty) and Groß Lüdtkenfürst (Lutkowo) were incorporated. Due to incorporations and structural changes in 1945, the Hohenfürst district still consisted of the five rural communities Bönkenwalde, Groß Hasselberg, Hohenfürst, Lüdtkenfürst and Rauschbach.
In 1910 Hohenfürst had 487 inhabitants. Their number fell to 409 by 1933 and was still 404 in 1939.
Before 1945 Hohenfürst belonged to the district of Heiligenbeil (today in Russian: Mamonowo) in the district of Königsberg (Kaliningrad) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
