Matwejewka ( Russian Матвеевка , German Hermannshof , Lithuanian Hermanshofas ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad . It is located in Guryevsk Rajon and belongs to the municipal self-government unit of the Guryevsk district .
The place Matwejewka is not exactly at the Hermannshof location, but adjoins it to the west, while the Hermannshof location itself is deserted.
Geographical location
Matwejewka is located 17 kilometers east of the oblast capital Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) at the end of an impassable road that branches off the side road, the Pribreschnoje (Palmburg , on the Russian trunk road A 229 , former German Reichsstrasse 1 ) near the former, now submerged town of Podolskoje (Praßnicken) ) connects with Pridoroschnoje (New Droosden , on the A 190 trunk road ).
There is no longer a train connection. Until 1945 Gamsau (Russian: Podgornoje) was the next train station on the route from Königsberg (Prussia) (Kaliningrad) via Possinder (Roschtschino) to Tapiau (Gwardeisk), which was operated by the Königsberger Kleinbahn .
history
At the time, Hermannshof consisted of a large courtyard with outbuildings. Hermannshof was part of the Gutsdorf Praßnicken (Russian: Podolskoje, no longer existent today, the local office belongs to the Dobrojes area ) and was connected to this place in its history. He belonged to the district of Groß Legden (Russian: Dobroje) in the district of Königsberg (Prussia) (1939 to 19045 district of Samland ) in the district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 30, 1928, Praßnicken lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Gamsau (Russian: Podgornoje).
As a result of the Second World War , Hermannshof came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia and was given the Russian name Matwejewka in 1950. At the same time, the place was incorporated into the village Soviet Jaroslawski selski Sowet in Gurjewsk Rajon . Later the place came to the Nisowski selski Sowet . From 2008 to 2013 Matvejewka belonged to the rural municipality Nizovskoye selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Gurievsk.
church
Before 1945 the inhabitants of Hermannshof were almost all of the Protestant denomination. The place belonged to the parish of the church Arnau (Russian: Rodniki) in the parish of Königsberg-Land II within the church province of East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Arthur Brodowski .
Today Matwejewka is in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
