history
The first documentary mention of the Jurgaitschen village at the time is not known. 1785 the place is described as Jurgaitschen, melirt village on the Buduppe, 2 windmills, 11 fire places . Since 1845 Kirchdorf and provided with a school with two classrooms as well as a training school (later called "vocational school"), the place had supra-regional importance. This became even more pronounced when Jurgaitschen became the seat in 1874 and thus gave its name to a newly established administrative district , which - renamed "Amtsgebiet Königskirch" in 1939 - existed until 1945 and became the district of Ragnit , from 1922 to the district of Tilsit-Ragnit in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province East Prussia belonged. In 1910 Jurgaitschen had 298 inhabitants.
In the 1920s, the rural community of Jurgaitschen grew around the incorporated (now defunct ) neighboring villages Klischwethen (1938 to 1946 Klischenfeld , Russian: Kaschino), Sprokinnen (until 1913 Sprukinnen , 1938 to 1946 Rokingen ), Klein Oschkinnen (1938 to 1946 Kleinossen ) and dolls . The population rose to 512 by 1933 and was still 505 in 1939.
Jurgaitschen was renamed "Königskirch" on June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - in allusion to the presence of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV at the laying of the foundation stone of the church on June 1, 1841.
The steady economic upward development of the village came to an end in the Second World War , when the village had to be evacuated in November 1944 and was occupied by the Red Army in January 1945 . Like all north-east Prussian towns, the village was assigned to the Soviet Union and in 1947 was given the Russian name "Kanasch". The place was named after the town of Kanasch in Chuvashia after the origin of the new settlers . At the same time, the place became the seat of a village soviet in Sovetsk Raion . From 1954 to about 1997, the place belonged to the village Soviet Nowokolchosnenski selski Sowet . Then Kanasch became (again) the seat of a village district. From 2008 to 2016 the place belonged to the rural municipality of Shilinskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Neman.

Church building
The Jurgaitschen church is a brick hall church built from 1841 to 1845 without a tower. It had double galleries, the altar was without a top, and the pulpit was raised in the chancel on the left. Above the sanctuary was the inscription: Glory to God on high . The organ with its two manuals and 16 voices came from the time the church was built.
After the war, the church was intact except for damage to the roof. In the following years the building fell into disrepair until it was intended to be used as a warehouse for agricultural products: the interior was cleared out and provided with two intermediate floors.
Parish
The first plans to build a church in Jurgaitschen were made at the beginning of the 18th century. At that time, King Friedrich Wilhelm I gave the community five hooves for church building. However, it would take a hundred years to come to fruition. In July 1945 the church was consecrated and at the same time the Jurgaitschen parish was founded . More than 50 places, in which around 6,000 parishioners lived at that time, were assigned to him. The parish belonged to the parish of Ragnit, after 1923 it was assigned to the diocese of Tilsit in the parish of Tilsit-Ragnit.
As a result of the flight and displacement of the local population as a result of the war and the restrictive religious policy of the Soviet Union , church life in Kanasch collapsed. Today the village lies in the catchment area of the newly formed Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) , which belongs to the Kaliningrad (Königsberg) provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
