Kijewskoje ( Russian Киевское , German  Schmiedehnen ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Selenogradsk in Zelenogradsky District .

Geographical location

Kijewskoje is located 26 kilometers northeast of the oblast capital Kaliningrad (Königsberg) on the south bank of the Curonian Lagoon (Russian: Kurschski Saliw). A side road runs through the village, which leads from the neighboring village of Nekrassowo (Liska-Schaaken) , which is already in the Gurjewsk Rajon ( Neuhausen district ), to Sosnowka (Bledau), southeast of the district town of Selenogradsk (Cranz) . Until 1945, Kaschirskoje was the next station on the Prawten – Schaaksvitte (Russian: Lomonossowo – Kaschirskoje) railway of the Königsberger Kleinbahn , which is no longer in operation.

history

The village, known as Schmiedehnen until 1946, dates back to the year it was founded in 1302. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established administrative district Schaaken (Russian: Nekrassowo) and until 1939 belonged to the district of Königsberg (Prussia) , from 1939 to 1945 to the district of Samland in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1945 Schmiedehnen came to the Soviet Union with all of Northeast Prussia as a result of the Second World War . The place was given the Russian name "Kijewskoje" in 1947 and was also included in the Kaschirski selski Sowet village in Gurjewsk Rajon . Later the place came to the Muromski selski Sowet in Zelenogradsk Raion . From 2005 to 2015, Kijewskoje belonged to the rural municipality of Kovrowskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district of Zelenogradsk.
