history

Before 1945

Meyken

The later large Gutsdorf Meyken, which also included a brick factory, was built before 1500. Between 1676 and 1727 it was owned by the von Lehwaldt family . In 1874 the place came to the newly established district Droosden in the district of Labiau . In 1910, 134 people lived in Meyken. On September 30, 1928, Meyken lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Groß Droosden (Russian: Schurawljowka).

Small Sittkeim

In 1874 the village of Klein Sittkeim came to the newly established administrative district Scharlack in the district of Labiau . Klein Sittkeim had 109 inhabitants in 1910. In 1933 there were 92 inhabitants. On April 1, 1939, Klein Sittkeim was attached to the Lindenau community.

Since 1945

As a result of the Second World War, the places Meyken and Klein Sittkeim came with northern East Prussia to the Soviet Union .

Kustowka

In 1947 the places Adlig Wißritten, Lindenau and Klein Sittkeim were combined under the Russian name Kustowka. At the same time Kustowka was assigned to the village soviet Slawjanski selski Sowet in Polessk Raion . The place Lindenau was also included in the Gwardeisk Raion under the Russian name Stolbowoje , which according to the known maps on site then also happened. According to the maps, of the unnamed places in Kustowka, only Klein Sittkeim was inhabited by the end of the 1950s.

Corn bunk

In 1947 the place Meyken received the Russian name Maiskoje and was assigned at the same time to the village soviet Slawjanski selski Sowet in Polessk Raion . In 1997 the place Kustowka (see above), which at that time only consisted of the former Klein Sittkeim, was connected to Maiskoje. From 2008 to 2016 Maiskoje belonged to the rural municipality Turgenewskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Polessk.

church

Almost without exception, the population of Meyken and Klein Sittkeim belonged to the Evangelical Church before 1945 . The places were parish in the parish of the church Groß Legitten (today Russian: Turgenewo) and thus part of the church district Labiau in the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . Even today, Maiskoje has a church connection to Turgenewo, where a new Evangelical Lutheran congregation was constituted in the 1990s. 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 .
