history

The village formerly called Szameitschen had 44 inhabitants in 1818. Their number rose to 93 by 1863.

On May 6, 1874, Szameitschen together with thirteen other rural communities or manor districts formed the Gudwallen district (since 1946: Lwowskoje) in the Darkehmen district (1939–1945 Angerapp district ) in the Gumbinnen district in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Because of the repeated occurrence of the place name " Szameitschen " in the district of Darkehmen , the place, which in 1907 only had 64 inhabitants, was given the suffix "Parish Darkehmen". On August 1, 1923, it was officially renamed " Waldhorst ".

On September 30, 1928, Waldhorst gave up his independence when the community merged with the rural community Naujoken (1938-1946 Kleinauerfluss ) and the Auerfluss manor to form the new rural community Auerfluss (since 1946: Meschduretschje).

As a result of the Second World War , the village came under Soviet sovereignty and in 1946 was renamed "Konewo". By 2009 it was in the Lwowski soviet (village Soviet Lwowskoje ( Gudwallen incorporated)) until it due to structural and administrative reform in the Kaliningrad region with the status of a "settlement" (posskjolok) for Krasnojarskoje selskoje posselenije ((Town Krasnojarskoje Sodehnen )) came.

church

Before 1945 Szameitschen resp. Waldhorst, with its majority Protestant population, was integrated into the Darkehmen parish (1938–1946 Angerapp , since 1946: Osjorsk). It belonged to the church district Darkehmen in the church province East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergy were Pastors Johannes Gemmel and Helmut Passauer .

During the time of the Soviet Union , church life was forbidden. It was not until the 1990s that new Protestant congregations formed again in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Konewo is in the area of ​​the church region of the Salzburg church Gussew ( Gumbinnen ), which is part of the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
