Geographical location
Logwino is located 19 kilometers northwest of the Oblast capital Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) on a side road that connects the Russian trunk road A 193 (formerly German Reichsstrasse 131 ) via Schipowka (Powayen station) and Tscherepanowo ((noble) Powayen) with the main road Pereslavskoje (Drugehnen) - Kumachovo (Kumehnen) - Kruglowo (Polish) connects. The nearest train station is Schipowka (until 1945 Powayen ) located four kilometers to the south on the Kaliningrad – Baltijsk (Königsberg – Pillau) railway , the former East Prussian Southern Railway .
Place name
The name Medenau is derived from the Prussian Gau Medenowe.
The name Logwino was derived from the Russian word log for ravine. It apparently referred to the erosion channel Hohler Grund , located about two kilometers to the east , which is known today as owrag Skryty (ru. Овраг Скрытый).
history
The founding year of the place called Medenau until 1947 was 1263. Already around 1000 BC. The area was settled. Nearby, the Bohemian King Ottokar II defeated the Samlanders in 1255 . From 1258 Medenouwe belonged to the Principality of Samland . Significant remains of old Prussian ramparts were found here.
In 1263 a castle of the bishops was mentioned here, but it gained no importance and the basement rooms were filled in in 1840.
In 1874 Medenau was fit and the eponymous location for a newly built office district , which existed until 1945 and until 1939 the county Fischhausen , then to district Samland in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.
On September 9, 1879, Kaiser Wilhelm I held an army show here on the occasion of an imperial maneuver. A memorial in the parish of Medenau reminded of this. On the granite obelisk on which an eagle sits was the inscription: With God for King and Fatherland. Below it read: His Majesty the Kaiser and King Wilhelm I observed the maneuver of the first army corps on September 9, 1879 from this field mark . The back said: Dedicated to memory by GW Loewner. Adl. Medenau, September 9, 1881. Kaiser Wilhelm combined memories of his youth with Medenau, as he and his family celebrated the birthday of his father, King Friedrich Wilhelm III, here in 1809 . in the manor house of the then owner Barclay .
In the middle of the 19th century, the late classicist manor house was built, in which the Rautenberg family lived as the last owner and which was destroyed in 1945.
In 1910 there were 531 residents registered in Medenau. On September 30, 1928, the rural communities Medenau and Kosnehnen (no longer existent) as well as the manor districts Adlig Medenau, Kathrinhöfen, Klein Medenau, Sickenhöfen (Russian: Murmanskoje) and Warengen - none of them exist any longer - merged to form the new rural community Medenau. The population of Medenau then totaled 1,231 in 1933 and 1,201 in 1939.
As a result of the war, Medenau came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Russian name Logwino in 1947. At the same time the place became the seat of a village soviet in Primorsk Raion . After the dissolution of the village soviet in 1963 Logwino came into the village soviet Pereslavski selski Sowet . From 2005 to 2015 the place belonged to the rural municipality Pereslavskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district Zelenogradsk.
Medenau District (1874–1945)
The district of Medenau, established on June 13, 1874, initially consisted of eleven rural communities (LG) or manor districts (GB):
| Surname | Russian name | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Adlig Medenau (GB) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Medenau | |
| Kathrinhöfen (GB) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Medenau | |
| Klein Medenau (GB) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Medenau | |
| Cosine Tendons (LG) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Medenau | |
| Kragau (LG) | Prochladnoye | |
| Kragau, Domain (GB) | 1927 incorporated into the rural community of Kragau | |
| Medenau (LG) | Logwino | |
| Moss tendons (LG) | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Kragau | |
| Ponaken (LG) | Voronezhskoye | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Wischehnen |
| Schuditten (LG) | Orechowo | |
| Wiping tendons (LG) |
Due to the manifold restructuring, four municipalities formed the administrative district of Medenau on January 1st, 1945: Kragau, Medenau, Schuditten and Wischehnen. Of them only Kragau (Prochladnoje) and Medenau (Logwino) exist today.
Logwinski selski Sowet 1947–1963
The village soviet Logwinski selski Sowet (ru. Логвинский сельский Совет) was established in June 1947. Initially 35 villages belonged to it and it reached in the west as far as the Danzig Bay . In October 1950, the western part was set up independently as Zwetnikowski selski Sowet . In 1954 the Wsmorjewski selski Sowet was connected to the Logwinski selski Sowet. In 1963 the village soviet was dissolved and its places (apparently) divided between the village soviets Pereslavski selski Sowet and Volotschajewski selski Sowet .

Church building
The Medenau church dates from the beginning of the 14th century. It was a field stone building with brick corners , a polygonal choir and a tower made of bricks. It was a Protestant church until 1945 and survived the war unscathed. In 1947, however, it was destroyed by fire while trying to remove the bells. In the 1950s, the military blew up the walls to extract building materials. Today only fragments of the north wall, the tower and the choir with the portal of the sacristy remain .
Parish
Medenau was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. The Reformation found its way here early on , and the place became a Protestant parish seat. Until 1945 Medenau belonged with its extensive parish to the parish of Fischhausen (today in Russian: Primorsk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . From 1896 auxiliary preachers were deployed in the parish of Groß Heydekrug (1939 to 1946 Großheidekrug , today in Russian: Wsmorje), from 1909 a separate parish was established and a church was built there in 1931. In the census of 1925, the parish of Medenau / Groß Heydekrug, which encompasses 34 places, included a total of 5,000 parish members, 3,000 of whom lived in the Medenau parish that encompasses 25 places.
Today Logwino is located in the catchment area of the newly created Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Swetly (room shack) . It is a subsidiary of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
