Jermakowo ( Russian Ермаково , German German Wilten ) is a place in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast (region Königsberg (Prussia) ) and belongs to Domnowskoje selskoje posselenije (Town Domnovo (Domnau) ) in Pravdinsky District (county Friedland (East Prussia.) ).
Geographical location
Yermakowo is six kilometers north of the Russian-Polish border and eight kilometers southwest of Prawdinsk (Friedland) on a side road (former German Reichsstraße 142 ) that leads from the Rajons capital to the border area to the former place Schirokoje (Schönbruch) and before 1945 on to Bartenstein (now Polish: Bartoszyce) ran. Until 1945 there was a railway connection via the Preußisch Wilten station (Russian: Snamenskoje) on the railway line from Königsberg (today Russian: Kaliningrad) to Heilsberg (today Polish: Lidzbark Warmiński), which is no longer in operation.
history
On June 11, 1874, the rural community, then known as Deutsch Wilten , with the manor districts of Abbarten (Russian: Prudy) and Georgenau (Roschtschino) formed the newly established Abbarten district , which became the Friedland district , and from 1927 Bartenstein district (Eastern Prussia) in the Königsberg district of the Prussian Province of East Prussia belonged.
In 1910 Deutsch Wilten had 281 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the municipality of Deutsch Wilten expanded when the manor districts Sophiental and Bothkeim (Russian: Tschistopolje) were incorporated. The population increased to 748 by 1933 and was still 734 in 1939.
On May 4, 1930, the Abbarten district was renamed "Deutsch Wilten District". In 1931 the rural communities Deutsch Wilten, Georgenau (Russian: Roschtschino), Groß Sporwitten (Poddubnoje) and Wolmen (Malinowka) still belonged to it, on January 1, 1945 only the communities Deutsch Wilten, Georgenau and Wolmen were still part of it.
As a result of the Second World War , Deutsch Wilten came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia and in 1947 received the Russian name "Yermakowo". Until 2009 the place was incorporated into the Domnowski soviet (Dorfsovjet Domnowo (Domnau) ) and since then - due to a structural and administrative reform - it has been classified as a “settlement” (Russian: possjolok) within the Domnowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural municipality Domnowo ) in Pravdinsk Raion of Kaliningrad Oblast .

Church building
The church of Deutsch Wilten was built in 1846 on the foundation walls of the order. It was largely preserved during the Second World War. But then it was misused and used first as a warehouse, then as a gymnasium for the school and again from 1994 as a warehouse. The western entrance was widened. In 1988 the building received a new roof made of asbestos-cement panels and the arched windows were glazed. The upper part of the tower no longer exists and the lower part has become the vestibule. Remains of the medieval masonry can still be seen on the east wall in particular.
Parish
Until 1945, Deutsch Wilten was the parish seat of the three independent [Protestant] parishes of Deutsch Wilten, Georgenau (now Russian: Roschtschino) and Klingenberg (now Polish: Ostre Bardo), which were connected under a parish office . In contrast to Klingenberg, Georgenau initially had its own pastor. It was not until 1779, when the then Georgenau pastor Christian Ludwig Dörfer took over the pastor's position in Deutsch Wilten (which was previously held by his father Daniel Ludwig Dörfer ), was Georgenau connected to Deutsch Wilten in the parish.
While Klingenberg was originally assigned to the Rastenburg inspection (now in Polish: Kętrzyn), Georgenau and Deutsch Wilten belonged to the supervisory district of the Königsberg court preacher . Until 1945 all three parishes belonged to the Friedland church district (Russian: Prawdinsk), then to the Bartenstein church district (Polish: Bartoszyce) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
Today Yermakowo lies in the catchment area of the parish in Domnowo (Domnau) , which is a branch parish of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) . It belongs to the Kaliningrad provost in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
