history

Willgaiten

In 1874 the place, which was then divided into "Adlig Willgaiten" and "Köllmisch Willgaiten", gave its name to the newly created district of Willgaiten. In 1910 Adlig Willgaiten had 19 and Köllmisch Willgaiten 59 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, Adlig Willgaiten and Köllmisch Willgaiten merged with several neighboring towns to form the new rural community of Dommelkeim (today in Russian: Pawlinino). It was incorporated into the Seefeld district (Russian: Prostornoje, no longer existent), which then became part of the Drugehnen district (Pereslavskoje). As a result of the Second World War , Willgaiten came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia .

Willgaiten District (1874–1930)

Between 1874 and 1930 the district of Willgaiten belonged to the Fischhausen district and initially consisted of seven places:

Surname Russian name Remarks
Noble Willgaiten Kolossovka 1928 incorporated into Dommelkeim
Bar back 1928 incorporated into Dommelkeim
Bar nods 1928 incorporated into Dommelkeim
Basset germ Pavlinino
Köllmisch Willgaiten Kolossovka 1928 incorporated into Dommelkeim
Quandits Sinyavino 1928 incorporated into Drugehnen
Taukitten 1928 incorporated into Dommelkeim

Due to the restructuring, the Willgaiten district was dissolved on April 1, 1930 only from the Dommelkeim community, which was incorporated into the Seefeld district, then Drugehnen, and from 1939 belonged to the Samland district .

Wiekau (Khrustalnoje)

Wiekau was founded in 1283. Here we later discovered a large cremation cemetery with rich pieces from the early Bronze Age and Iron Age On 13 June 1874 Wiekau in the newly formed District Seefeld was (Russian: no longer Prostoroje existent) incorporated, which existed until 1930 and the county Fischhausen in Königsberg district belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 Wiekau had 133 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, the towns of Pentekinnen, Klaukinnen and Reessen (all no longer existent) as well as Prilacken (Russian: Bratskoje, no longer existent) and Wiekau merged to form the new rural community Wiekau. The population rose to 275 by 1933 and was still 273 in 1939. When the Seefeld district was dissolved or renamed Drugehnen (Pereslawskoje) on May 18, 1930 , Wiekau was incorporated here, and from 1939 to 1945 it was part of the Samland district.

Wiekau also came to the Soviet Union in 1945 as a result of the war . The place was given the Russian name Khrustalnoye in 1947 and was also included in the Pereslavski selski Sowet village in Primorsk Raion .

Kolossovka

In 1947, Willgaiten was renamed Kolossowka and at the same time included in the Pereslavski selski Sowet village soviet in Primorsk Raion . Before 1976 the place Khrustalnoye was attached to Kolossowka. From about 2000 to 2001 Kolossowka was the seat of a village district (ru. Колосовский сельский округ, Kolossowski selski okrug). From 2005 to 2015 Kolossowka belonged to the rural municipality of Pereslavskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district of Zelenogradsk.
