history
Until 1945
Medowoje / Sollnicken
The district of Medowojes, once called Sollnicken , consisted of a community and an estate until 1909. 1874 nominal nod was the eponymous site of an administrative district that existed until 1945 and for district Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.
On October 6, 1909, the Sollnicken manor district was incorporated into the Tykrigehnen manor district (now also in Russian: Medowoje), and on December 1, 1910, the Sollnicken community had 101 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928 Sollnicken received "reinforcement" when the rural communities Globuhnen (also in Russian: Medowoje, but the place no longer exists) and Sollnicken merged with the two manor districts Hollstädt (no longer exist) and Tykrigehnen to form the new rural community Sollnicken . The population climbed accordingly to 468 in 1933 and 490 in 1939.
As a result of the Second World War , Sollnicken came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Russian name "Medowoje" in 1950.
Sollnicken District (1874–1945)
Between 1874 and 1945 the district of Sollnicken existed, to which eight municipalities initially belonged:
| Name (until 1946) | Russian name | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Rural communities : | ||
| Globuhnen | Medovoye | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Sollnicken |
| Nod |
Zarechnoye to 1992: Ochtrownoje |
|
| Nod | Medovoye | |
| Tiefenthal | Vysokoye | |
| Manor districts : | ||
| Hollstädt | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Sollnicken | |
| Kissing | 1928 in the rural community Liepnicken incorporated | |
| Nod | Medovoye | 1909 incorporated into the Tykrigehnen manor district |
| Tykri tendons | Medovoye | 1928 incorporated into the rural community of Sollnicken |
Due to the various restructuring measures, only three communities belonged to the Sollnicken district on January 1, 1945: Liepnicken, Sollnicken and Tykrigehnen.
Medowoje / Tykrigehnen
The earlier Tykrigehnen called district Medowojes came in 1874 in the District nominal nod (now Russian too: Medowoje) in the district of Prussian Eylau in the administrative district of Konigsberg the Prussian province of East Prussia . On October 6, 1909 was Gutsbezirk nominal nod incorporated into the Gutsbezirk Tykrigehnen, and on 1 December 1910 there was one here 244 inhabitants.
On September 30, 1928, Tykrigehnen gave up his independence and merged with the rural communities Globuhnen (Russian: Medowoje, no longer existent) and the Hollstädt manor district (no longer exists) to form the new rural community Sollnicken.
In 1945 Tykrigehnen came to the Soviet Union and in 1950 - together with the neighboring town of Sollnicken - received the Russian name "Medowoje".
The bull "winter"
In 1875 the Tykrigehnen estate came to Alber Schumann († 1925) , an economist from the Aschersleben area . With imports from the Netherlands and East Frisia , he built up a very large cattle breed , which between 1880 and 1900 achieved great success in all of East Prussia. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the line based on the often award-winning bull "Winter", which was based in Tykrigehnen, was decisive for the efficiency of the breed.
This explains an anecdote that used to be told in East Prussia, in which a high-ranking government official asked about the peculiarities of the region on a train ride to East Prussia. He was told: you have to know two things, namely that Immanuel Kant was born in Königsberg and that the bull Winter was in Tykrigehnen.
Since 1946
The two former villages of Sollnicken and Tykrigehnen , which had grown together to form Medwoje, were incorporated into the Kornewski soviet (Dorfsovjet Kornewo (Zinten) ) until 2009 . Since then, Medowoje has been a “settlement” (Russian: possjolok) classified as a “settlement” (Russian: possjolok) within the Pogranitschnoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Pogranitschnoje (Hermsdorf) ) in Bagrationovsk district .
church
Before 1945, the population of Sollnicken and Tykrigehnens was almost without exception Protestant . The villages were parish in the parish Kreuzburg (today Russian: Slawskoje), which belonged to the church district Preußisch Eylau (Bagrationowsk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Arno Stritzel .
Today Medowoje lies in the catchment area of two Protestant parishes that were newly founded in the 1990s: the town parish in Mamonowo (Heiligenbeil) and the village parish in Gwardeiskoje (Mühlhausen) . Both are branches of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
