The church was demolished

The church Aulowönen (the place was called Aulenbach (East Prussia) from 1938 to 1946 ) was a stone church built in the middle of the 18th century with a (later) wooden tower. Until 1945 it was a Protestant house of worship for the people living in 44 places in the parish of Aulowönen (today Russian: Kalinowka ). The church is no longer preserved.

Geographical location

Today's Kalinowka is located 21 kilometers north of the city of Tschernjachowsk (Insterburg) on the Russian trunk road A 197 (former German Reichsstrasse 137 ). Before 1945, the Insterburg – Groß Skaisgirren railway of the Insterburger Kleinbahnen ran through the town . The former location of the church is no longer recognizable today.

Church building

In 1610 a church was founded in Aluwönen. The church, however, burned down in 1709, and a subsequent wooden structure only lasted until 1727. A permanent stone building was built between 1728 and 17390. It was a simple field stone building to which a wooden tower with a Welscher hood was later added . The design for the building was drawn up by the master builder Fischer, who planned a church building in a "tasteful style with the most economical means".

The interior of the building, about 33 meters long and 13 meters wide, had a flat, low ceiling. The galleries ran around the whole ship. Arched windows ensured a bright room that had a festive character with white and gold painted chairs and benches.

The pulpit altar came from the time the church was founded. The furnishings of the old church were only partially taken over, the other part was given to a church museum. Among the most valuable liturgical objects included a Bible book from 1565 with leaded tin lids and two very large brass - Altarleuchter of the 1640th

An organ was installed in the church around 1747 , which was restored in 1859 by master organ builder Schwerweit from Königsberg (Prussia) . It was replaced in 1932 by a new building by the Furtwängler organ workshop from Hanover .

The two bells in the church were from 1735 and 1779.

The church was demolished at an unknown time after 1945.

Parish

The Aulowönen parish was established in 1610. The villages of Juckeln (since 1918 Buchhof , today in Russian: Buchowo), Warkau (Schischkino, no longer existent), Gaiden (Stepnoje), Alt Lappönen (Datschnoje) and Jennen (Podlesnoje, no longer exist existent) with Aulowönen formed the core of the settlement that led to the foundation of the parish. Until 1945 the parish, which comprised 44 parish locations, belonged to the Insterburg parish in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1925 the parish had 4,726 parishioners.

Due to flight and expulsion and the restrictive religious policy of the Soviet Union , after 1945 church life collapsed in Aulowönen as in all of Northeast Prussia.

It was not until the 1990s that new Evangelical Lutheran congregations emerged, of which Bolshakowo (Groß Skaisgirren , 1938–1946 Kreuzingen) is closest to today's Kalinowka. It belongs to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
