The church in Inse was an octagonal wooden central building with a lantern from the beginning of the 18th century. Until 1945 it was a Protestant place of worship for the residents of the East Prussian parish of what is now called Pritschaly in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad ( Königsberg area (Prussia) ). The building was torn down and cleared in 1964.
Geographical location
Today's Pritschaly is located on the east coast of the Curonian Lagoon (Russian: Kurschski Saliw), into which the river Inse (Russian: Chlebnaja), which is only a few hundred meters long, flows. The village can be reached from the Russian regional road R 513 via a side road that branches off south of Prochladnoje (Kallningken , 1938 to 1946 Herdenau) from the road Malyje Bereschki - Myssowka (New Lappienen – Karkeln) . The former location of the church is in the east of the former district of Alt Inse on the northern bank of the Inse.
Church building
A first church was built in Inse around 1576. Already at the turn of the 17th / 18th centuries In the 19th century a new building was due. The result was an octagonal central building made of wood with turrets in a similar shape to the Lappienen church, which was built around the same time . The church Skören was built in 1932 according to this model.
The interior of the church had a flat ceiling supported by Tuscan pillars. A gallery went over the entire church . The pulpit altar stood to the north .
In the middle of the room was an octagonal granite font from the 17th century. It was rediscovered in 2009 on a plot of land on the inset, where it served as a flower pot. The landowner agreed to hand it over, and the Elchniederung district community then organized the transfer to the Heinrichswalde church (the place name is now Russian: Slavsk).
In 1857 the church received an organ . The church bell consisted of a single bell .
The church got through the Second World War well . However, the building was torn down in 1964 using tractors and completely cleared away.
Parish
The parish of the church is the oldest in the district Niederung (Elchniederung). Until 1579, its villages belonged to the parish in Kunzen (Russian: Krasnoretschje, no longer existent) on the Curonian Spit (Russian: Kurschskaja kossa). The arduous Sunday drive across the lagoon to the service in Kunzen prompted the residents to apply for their own church. So in 1570 the parish of Inse was created, which was also assigned its own pastor. The parish was independent until 1684, when it became a branch church of the parish church in Kallningken (the place was called Herdenau between 1938 and 1946, today in Russian: Prochladnoje). From 1810 the parish was independent again and until 1945 belonged to the parish Niederung (Elchniederung) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1925 the parish had about 1,000 parishioners who lived in a manageable parish.
Due to the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe 1945–1950 and the restrictive church policy of the Soviet Union , church life in Pritschaly collapsed after 1945. Today the place is in the catchment area of the district town Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) , 30 kilometers away , where the new Evangelical-Lutheran parish Slavsk was formed in the 1990s . It is part of the Kaliningrad (Königsberg) provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
