Parish of Schaaken

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schaaken ( Caspar Henneberger , 1576)

The parish of Schaaken was the parish of the Lischke Schaaken in Samland that was created around 1280 . Until 1880 Schaaken was the official seat of the Königsberg district in the province of East Prussia . Since 1945 it is in Guryevsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast . The place Schaaken consisted of three parts: Liska-Schaaken with the domain Schaaken absorbed into it and the place Schemtschuschnoje with the Schaakener church. Today's ruin is in the eastern center of Shemchushnoye on the road to Kaliningrad .

location

The parish of Schaaken in Samland reached in the north from the coast of the Curonian Lagoon near Schaaksvitte (Russian: Kaschirskoje) to Konradshorst (Georgijewskoje) in the south, from Sprittlauken (Gorochowo) in the west to Neuendorf (Uslowoje) in the east. It comprised nearly 50 parish places with an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers.

A side road led from Schaaksvitte via Schaaken Church in a southerly direction to the gates of the city of Neuhausen (Gurjewsk) on the Neuhausen - Labiau (Polessk) road, today's Russian trunk road A 190 . The Königsberger Kleinbahn connected the parish with six train stations until 1945 with its Prawten – Schaaksvitte railway from Powarben (Stepnoje).

Church building

The construction of the church began in the second half of the 14th century. It is a plastered field stone and brick building typical of Samland with a choir closed on three sides.

The tower dates from the beginning of the 14th century. After being damaged, it was given a new helmet in 1862. The interior of the church with the vaulted ceiling was renewed in 1877. The choir and the nave were separated by a triumphal arch . It was not until the 15th century that star vaults were added , while the choir kept its flat ceiling. Remains of old paintings can be seen on the walls .

The galleries were painted in the 17th century. The altarpiece , which is located in a Gothic cafeteria , also came from this time . Between Corinthian columns , the main picture showed the crucifixion of Jesus in simple carving. The pulpit was of the same age .

The organ came from the workshop of Adam Gottlob Casparini in Königsberg (Prussia) (Kaliningrad) and was fundamentally renewed in the 20th century by the organ builder Terletzki in Elbing (Elbląg). The three bells were from 1736, 1815 and 1869.

The church, which was undestroyed in the war, fell into disrepair in the following years. In 1966 the top of the tower was removed and the roof, which was newly covered with asbestos panels, lasted until the 1980s. Today only the outer walls, the tower and the arch between the nave and the choir are preserved.

Parish

Schaaken was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. The Lutheran Reformation found its way here early on. Until 1894 Schaaken had its own inspection, but then belonged until 1945 to the church district Königsberg Country II (north of the Pregel ) in the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Prussian Union of churches .

Due to the flight and displacement of the local population as a result of the Second World War and due to the restrictive religious policy of the Soviet Union , church life came to a standstill until the 1990s. Then, however, new Evangelical Lutheran congregations formed in the Kaliningrad Oblast, among which the one in Marschalskoje (Gallgarben) is closest to the former parish of Schaaken. It is a subsidiary of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
