The church in Kraupischken ( Russian Кирха Краупишкена ) - the place was called from 1938 to 1946 "Breitenstein (Ostpr)" - is a rectangular field stone building from 1772 with a tower added in 1893. Until 1945 it was a Protestant place of worship for the population in the parish of the former East Prussian village known today as Uljanowo in today 's Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia . Only the outer walls of the nave and tower remain of the building today.
location
Uljanowo is located on the northwest bank of the Inster (today Russian: Instrutsch), 21 kilometers southeast of today's Rajonsmetropolis and former district town of Neman (Ragnit) . The Russian trunk road A 198 (former German Reichsstrasse 132 ) runs through the village from Neman to Gussew (Gumbinnen) , with a higher-level secondary road branching off to Chernyakhovsk (Insterburg) in the town . There is no longer a rail connection. Uljanowo is now a settlement in the network of Luninskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Lunino (Lengwethen , 1938–1946 Hohensalzburg) ). The church ruins with the tower walls that can be seen from afar can be seen east of the main road.
Church building
Already in 1555 a church was built in Kraupischken - at that time from Insterburg (today in Russian: Tschernjachowsk). This, however, burned down together with the rectory and was not rebuilt until 1772. For the time being there was no tower.
The interior of the rectangular field stone building with attached sacristy was flat covered. Galleries were drawn in on the north and south walls . The pulpit altar was assembled in 1722 using the pulpit basket from the old church from 1665. His figures came from the same workshop as the carving in Budwethen (1938–1946: Altenkirch). In 1787 the church received an organ , which was started by Adam Gottlob Casparini in 1785 , but was then completed by his apprentice George Adam Neppert . It was later repaired and expanded several times. The bell of the church consisted of two bells that were hung in the brick tower built in 1893 . In 1906 the interior of the church was redesigned.
During the conquest of East Prussia by the Red Army , the church was damaged in January 1945. During the Soviet era it was used as a straw store. In 1953 the building burned down to the ground and fell into disrepair in the years that followed. In addition to the outer walls, the tower remains as an essential part of the church. Above the tower entrance is a plaque with the opening words of Martin Luther's chant : “A strong castle is our God”. A privately donated light-colored wooden cross has been hanging next to it since 1997.
Parish
In 1554 a parish was founded in Kraupischken from Insterburg and a year later - with the completion of the church - a pastor's office was set up, which was supplemented by a second from 1706. Until 1609 Kraupischken was still a branch church of Insterburg and was assigned to the inspection of this city. From 1919 until 1945 the parish was assigned to the church district Tilsit-Ragnit / Diocese Ragnit in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1856, the more than 60 places very far-area counted parish 6,974 church members, whose numbers rose to over 7000-1925.
Until 1721 the church patronage was royal. After that, until 1742, in addition to the local squire, the squire of Raudonatschen (1938–1946: Insterfelde), the captain and later field marshal Hans Heinrich von Katte , church and feudal patronage. He was the father of Hans Hermann von Katte , the unhappy friend of Crown Prince Friedrich , whom King Friedrich Wilhelm I had executed in front of his son in Küstrin (now in Polish: Kostrzyn).
The flight and expulsion of the local population caused by the Second World War and the subsequent restrictive church policy of the Soviet Union brought church life to a standstill in Kraupischken as in the rest of Northeast Prussia.
It was not until the 1990s that new Evangelical Lutheran congregations emerged in the Kaliningrad Oblast . The Uljanowo closest is in Schtschegly (Saugwethen , 1938-1946 Saugehnen) that the church region Gusev (Gumbinnen) in the provost Kaliningrad of the Lutheran Evangelical Church of European Russia belongs.
