Ischdaggen Church
The church in Ischdaggen (1938–1946: Branden) was built in 1737 from field stones and bricks and was a Protestant church until 1945 in what is now called Lermontowo in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad ( Königsberg area (Prussia) ). Today only the outer walls of the church remain.
Geographical location
The location of the church is off the main road and a little outside of today's town.
Until 1945 the place belonged to the Gumbinnen district in the Prussian province of East Prussia . Today he is assigned to the urban district Gussew ( Gumbinnen ), which has changed since 2013 , and was previously a "settlement" (Russian: Possjolok) of the Michailowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Michailowo (Eszerningken , 1936–1938 Escherningken , 1938–1946 Neupassau) ).
Church building
A first parish church in Ischdaggen was built from Insterburg (today Russian: Tschernjachowsk) from 1630 to 1633 . It is said to have been further north and closer to the village.
The second church in Ischdaggen is originally a rectangular building made of field stones and bricks with a semicircular choir . It was built in 1737. The church, which never had a church tower, burned down in 1807 but was rebuilt.
Inside the church was spanned with a flat wooden ceiling and structured by columns. The altar and pulpit of the old church from the beginning of the 17th century were combined in the new church to form a pulpit altar . The centerpiece of the altar was a crucifixion group , the entombment was depicted on the upper floor, but its effect was impaired by the pulpit.
A confessional also came from the workshop of the pulpit altar . The organ was created in 1833 by Papendick from Tilsit (today Russian: Sowetsk). The bells from 1831 and 1840 hung in the roof truss.
The church building came almost undamaged by the Second World War , but was then badly damaged by external use. Used as a warehouse until the 1990s, it has been empty since 1996, a sheet metal extension still shows that it was used for any production purposes. Now only the outer walls of the church are left, the windows on the south side and the choir windows are bricked up, the choir itself is secured by a temporary roof. The sacristy , which was built in a semicircle on the north side, has been destroyed and the vestibule has been preserved. A church re-use seems to be completely out of the question.
Parish
It was not until 1633 that Ischdaggen became a church village with a building, a parish and a parish office. Until 1647 it was a branch of the parish of Nemmersdorf (today in Russian: Mayakowskoje), which at that time and until 1945, like Ischdaggen, belonged to the church district of Gumbinnen (Gussew) in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . Until 1874 the sermons in the church in Ischdaggen were also given in Lithuanian .
In 1925 the parish of Ischdaggen had 3,500 parishioners who lived in 24 towns and villages.
Due to the flight and displacement of the local population in connection with the war, church life in today's Lermontowo came to a standstill. It was not until the 1990s that new Evangelical Lutheran congregations formed again in the Kaliningrad Oblast. The closest to Lermontowo is that of the Salzburg church in Gussew (Gumbinnen) . It belongs to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
