Iskra ( Russian Искра , German Kindschen , 1928 to 1945 Groß Kindschen , Lithuanian Kinčiai ) is a place in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Neman in Nemansky District .
Geographical location
Iskra is four kilometers southwest of the district town of Neman (Ragnit) on the municipal road 27K-067, which connects Neman with Schilino (Szillen) . The street divides the place, in the east of which the former manor house with park stood, while in the west the business enterprise. The next train station is Artjomowka (Argeningken / Argenau) on the currently decommissioned Chernyakhovsk – Sovetsk (Insterburg – Tilsit) railway line .
Place name
The Russian place name translates as " spark ". Before 1946 there was another place two kilometers south called " Kindschen ", which - belonging to the parish of the Szillen church - was called "village" to distinguish it and not like the later "Groß Kindschen" belonging to the church Ragnit as "Gut" . Today it no longer exists.
history
The place formerly called Kindschen was a village before 1945 with a very large farm.
The Wendish family Eichholz were named as the first gentlemen on Gut Kindschen . The von Gattenhofem, Fraf Geßler and Erbtruchsess zu Waldenburg families followed in the 17th century. In 1759 the councilor Chr. Fr. Müller acquired the estate. His only daughter Charlotte (after her the Vorwerk "Charlottenwalde" was named) married J. Wilhelm von Sanden. In 1852 the estate was sold to the Kaeswurm family from Puspern (today Russian: Lomowo). From 1919, their descendants were owners as a community of heirs.
On April 15, 1874 Kindschen became an official village and gave its name to a newly established administrative district in the district of Ragnit in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1922 the district became part of the Tilsit-Ragnit district and in 1931 it was itself renamed “Groß Kindschen district”.
In 1910, Gut Kindschen with its districts Charlottenwalde (Russian: Schirokodolje), Mühlenkrug, Schaudinnen (1938 to 1946: Schauden, Russian: Vsgorje) and Stiemerau registered a total of 195 residents.
On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Schaudinnen and the districts of Charlottenwalde and Kindschen merged to form the new rural community of Groß Kindschen. The number of inhabitants rose to 302 by 1933 and amounted to 274 in 1939.
As a result of the Second World War , Groß Kindschen came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia . The place was given the Russian name "Iskra" in 1947 and was at the same time classified in the village soviet Petrowski selski Sowet in the Rajon Sovetsk , the later Rakitinski selski Sowet in the Raion Neman. Later the place came to the village district Michurinski selski okrug . From 2008 to 2016 Iskra belonged to the urban municipality of Nemanskoje gorodskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Neman.
District Kindschen / Groß Kindschen (1874–1945)
The Kindschen district existed between 1874 and 1945, and in 1931 it was renamed the Groß Kindschen district. Originally nine, in the end seven villages belonged to it:
