history
The village was founded and named by knights of the Teutonic Order . The Elbingen Commander Heinrich Reuss von Plauen had a semicircular hill surrounded by a ditch raised there in the 15th century .
In 1927 a waterworks was built at the Jerusalem estate on the Pregel . The village and estate were incorporated into Königsberg in 1928.
The estate and the former village have not been preserved as a result of the Second World War . The former location belongs to today's Kaliningrad district of Moskovskoye. In the area of the former estate between the Pregelufer and the southeastern arterial road of the city, the A196 leading in the direction of Prawdinsk (Friedland) and the Polish border , there are some prefabricated buildings and suburban villas built from the 1990s.
