Location in Kaliningrad Oblast

Kaschtanowo ( Russian Каштаново , German Almenhausen, Kreis Preußisch Eylau , and New Waldeck ) is the common name of two formerly independent places Russian Kaliningrad Oblast (region Königsberg (Prussia) ) within the Domnowskoje selskoje posselenije (Town Domnovo (Domnau) ) in Rajon Prawdinsk ( Friedland District (East Pr.) ).

Geographical location

Kaschtanowo is 16 kilometers northeast of the former district town of Preussisch Eylau (today in Russian: Bagrationowsk) and 17 kilometers northwest of the present Rajons capital Prawdinsk (Friedland) on the Russian trunk road A 196 (former German Reichsstrasse 131 ). From Kaschtanowo (formerly Almenhausen ) to Kaschtanowo (formerly Neu Waldeck ) it is only 500 meters. Until 1945, Neu Waldeck was a train station on the railway line from Königsberg (Kaliningrad) to Angerburg (Węgorzewo) , which was not put back into operation.

history

Kaschtanowo / Almenhausen (until 1945)

Almenhausen was founded in 1365 as a farming and church village on woodland. It belonged to the Chamber Office Domnau (today in Russian: Domnowo) of the Commandery Brandenburg (Uschakowo). It was pledged to a mercenary leader as early as 1468, then to Peter von Kobersehe ( Kobersee ) from 1474 . Until 1540 it was owned by the family of Kober marriage , from 1573 it belonged to the family of Pröck , later the of Glaubitz and from 1659 to 1820 the barons of Kittlitz on United Waldeck (Ossokino). In 1710 the plague raged in the village with devastating consequences.

Almenhausen counted 23 fireplaces with 199 inhabitants in 1820. On May 7, 1874, the rural community was incorporated into the newly established district of Abschwangen (Russian: Tischino), which until 1945 belonged to the district of Preußisch Eylau in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 207 inhabitants in Almenhausen. During the First World War , Almenhausen was almost completely destroyed by fire on August 29, 1914 by Russian troops in retaliation. Of 84 buildings of all types only eleven remained standing. Nine men were shot. Reconstruction began in 1915 and continued until 1919, mainly carried out by Russian prisoners of war.

On September 30, 1928, the previously independent Neu Waldeck estate was incorporated into Almenhausen. The population was 335 in 1933 and 297 in 1939, which also included those of the other districts of Freudenthal and Hinterwalde.

Kaschtanowo / Neu Waldeck (until 1945)

In 1820 the farmers had to cede 914 acres of land to the manor in Groß Waldeck (Russian: Ossokino). The new Gutsland was a bit out of the way behind Almenhausen. A new Vorwerk was built there, which from 1830 was called "Neu Waldeck". In 1846 there were three residential buildings for 65 residents. Probably in 1888 Neu Waldeck was bequeathed by the then landowner of Groß Waldeck, Elisabeth von Stutterheim, to her son Ernst von Stutterheim as an independent estate with around 250 hectares. In 1907 Hans Hencke was the owner. In 1910 the manor had 65 inhabitants. The owner was Otto Walter in 1920 and his son Heinz Walter in 1932 .

On September 30, 1928, the Neu Waldeck manor district was dissolved and integrated into the rural community of Almenhausen.

Kazchtanovo (from 1950)

As a result of the Second World War , northern East Prussia and thus also Almenhausen with Neu Waldeck came to the Soviet Union in 1945 . Both places were given the common name "Kaschtanowo" in 1950 and were incorporated into the Domnowski soviet (Dorfsovjet Domnowo (Domnau) ) until 2009 . Since 2009 there is only one place called Kaschtanowo, which is a "settlement" (Russian: possjolok) classified as a "settlement" (Russian: possjolok) within the Domnowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Domnowo) in Pravdinsk district due to structural and administrative reform .

church

Until 1945

( see the main article parish Almenhausen / Abschwangen )

Since 1946

During the time of the Soviet Union , church life came to a standstill. It was not until the 1990s that new Protestant congregations formed in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast , including the one closest to the Tischino in Gwardeiskoje (Mühlhausen) and Domnowo (Domnau) . They are subsidiary communities of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
