Komsomolskoje ( Russian Комсомольское , German  Schönfließ, Koenigsberg / Samland district ) is a settlement within the Moscow district of the city of Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg (Prussia) ), the capital of the Kaliningrad Oblast ( Koenigsberg region ).

Geographical location

Komsomolskoye is located in the south-eastern part of the Moscow Rajon and is five kilometers from the city center. The Russian trunk road A 195 (former German Reichsstrasse 128 ) runs through the place , which leads from Kaliningrad to Bagrationowsk (Prussian Eylau) and on to Poland . The next train station is the Aivazovskaya stop (until 1945 " Seligenfeld ") on the railway line from Kaliningrad via Gussew (Gumbinnen) to Lithuania (section of the former Prussian Eastern Railway ).

history

The village formerly known as Schönfliess (after 1820 Schönflies ) was incorporated into the newly established district of Seligenfeld (today in Russian: Dalneje) in 1874 and until 1939 belonged to the Königsberg district (Prussia) (1939 to 1945 Samland district ) in the Königsberg administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1905 the part on the right bank of the Old Pregel (Russian: Staraja Pregolja) and the south of the Old Pregels on both sides of the Chaussee (today A 195) to Preussisch Eylau (Russian: Bagrationowsk) became part of the northern part of the railway line of the Royal Eastern Railway incorporated into the municipality and the urban district of Königsberg (Prussia) (Kaliningrad). In 1910, the population of Schönfließ was still 354.

On May 14, 1930, the three rural communities Adlig Neuendorf (Russian: Rschewskoje), Seligenfeld (Dalneje) and Schönfließ merged to form the new district of Adlig Neuendorf. Three years later the number of inhabitants in Schönfließ was 578.

April 1, 1939 brought the "end" in the independence of Schönfließ: the village - like Adlig Neuendorf and Seligenfeld - was incorporated into the municipality and the municipality of Königsberg (Prussia) .

As a result of the Second World War , northern East Prussia and Königsberg became part of the Soviet Union . Schönfließ was given the Russian name "Komsomolskoje". Since 1993 it has been a district in the Moscow Rajon of the city of Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) .

church

The predominantly Protestant population of Schönfließ until 1945 was parish in the parish Seligenfeld (today Russian: Dalneje) and thus belonged to the parish of Königsberg-Land I in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Friedrich Lautsch .

Today Komsomolskoje is in the catchment area of ​​the Kaliningrad Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Resurrection . It belongs to the newly formed Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
