history
The former Dobawen was founded before 1539 and later became a Salzburg village . In 1874, the village became the official seat and gave its name to an administrative district that - renamed "Amtsgebiet Dobauen" in 1939 - until 1945 belonged to the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
In 1910, 199 residents were registered in Dobawen. Their number decreased to 184 by 1933 and totaled 168 in 1939.
In the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign , Dobawen was renamed “Dobauen” on June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) 1938.
As a result of the war, the village came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 . It was given the Russian name “Mayak” and was initially still inhabited, but was then abandoned.
