The church in Laukischken was built at the beginning of the 19th century and until 1945 was a Protestant church for the parish of what is now called Saranskoje in Russian . The building is now used for cultural purposes.
Geographical location
Saranskoje am Mauergraben (now Russian: Kamenka), which flows into the Deime (Deima) a little later , is located southeast of the city of Polessk (Labiau) on the Russian trunk road A 190 (former German Reichsstraße 126 ) in the confluence area of the direction from Prawdinsk (Friedland ) and Znamensk (Wehlau) coming trunk road R 514 . The nearest train station is Scholochowo (Schelecken , 1938–1946 Schlicken) on the Kaliningrad – Sovetsk (Königsberg – Tilsit) railway line . The church building is in the southeast of the municipality of Saranskoje, south of the overland road to Petino (Bartuszen , 1936–1938 Bartuschen , 1938–1946 Bartelshöfen) .
Church building
In 1607 a stable building replaced a wooden chapel in Laukischken from the pre-Reformation period. At the beginning of the 19th century, a completely new church was due, which took place in the years 1809 to 1812 and a church with neo-Gothic style elements with a bell tower was built on the west side. A brass baptismal font from 1668 was taken over from the previous church, as was a stollen chair from the 17th century. The pulpit and altar of the church were combined to form a pulpit altar .
In the war year 1914, the church was badly damaged and restored between 1920 and 1924. Instead of the destroyed bell tower, a small wooden top was placed on the western roof gable in 1920.
During the Second World War , the church came unscathed and was relatively well preserved until 1996. It is used as a cultural center and discotheque. On the occasion of a roof repair, the tower house was removed and most of the windows walled up.
Parish
The first church is likely to have been built on the then Prussian cemetery in Laukischken, which was founded in 1258 and which is documented in 1318. A holy water stone in the parish garden testified to the Prussian times before 1945. Laukischken was already mentioned as a church village in the 14th century, and the first Lutheran clergy officiate here at the beginning of the 16th century. Until 1945 Laukischken belonged with its extensive parish to the parish of Labiau in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In a census in 1925, 6600 Protestant parishioners were registered in Laukischken and the surrounding area, who were looked after by a local pastor and an assistant preacher.
Due to the flight and expulsion of the local population and a restrictive religious policy of the Soviet Union , church life in the village called "Saranskoje" since 1946 came to a standstill. Today the village is in the catchment area of a newly established Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Lomonossowka (Permauern , 1938-1946 walls) , a branch of the Resurrection Church in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
While the church building is still standing today, the rectory was demolished in 1993.
