Nikolskoje ( Russian Никольское , German Giewerlauken , 1938 to 1945 Hirschflur , Lithuanian Gyverlaukiai ) is a place in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Krasnoznamensk in Krasnoznamensky District .
Geographical location
Nikolskoje is located on the Scheschuppe (1938 to 1945: east river), 14 kilometers east of the former district town of Neman (Ragnit) and 17 kilometers northwest of the present day capital of Krasnosnamensk (Lasdehnen / Haselberg) . The municipal road 27K-111 runs through the village, which runs through an extensive forest area once known as the Trappönen forest and connects Nemanskoje (Trappönen / Trappen) with Lesnoje (Groß Lenkeningken / Großlenkenau) . There is no train connection.
history
The small village formerly called Giewerlauken is crossed by the shed from east to southwest. Between 1874 and 1909 the place was incorporated into the district of Galbrasten (the place is called today in Russian: Liwenskoje), which belonged to the district of Ragnit in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . When the Galbrasten district was dissolved in 1909, the village became part of the Raudszen district (1936 to 1939: Raudschen, 1939 to 1945: Rautengrund, today in Russian: Rjadino), which joined the Tilsit-Ragnit district in 1922 . Before 1945, the Katzenfang forestry of the Trappönen Forestry Office was incorporated and now belongs to Lagernoje .
Giewerlauken was inhabited with 85 farms in the first years of the 20th century, 60 of which were used for agriculture. Smaller farmers were also employed as contractors, others worked as forest workers in the Katzenfang and Fuchswinkel forestry .
In order to avoid foreign-sounding place names, politically and ideologically motivated, Giewerlauken was renamed "Hirschflur" on June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - of the year 1938. The many deer escaping from the Trappönen forest to the municipal area may have contributed to this naming.
As a result of the war, the village came to the Soviet Union with the rest of northern East Prussia in 1945 . In 1947 it was given the Russian name "Nikolskoje" and at the same time was classified in the village soviet Liwenski selski Sowet in Krasnosnamensk Raion . Later the place came into the Timofejewski selski Sowet . From 2008 to 2015 Nikitowka belonged to the rural municipality Alexejewskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Krasnosnamensk.

Summer bridge
Before 1945, five farmers were cut off from the actual municipality by the Scheschuppe (east river). A wooden bridge was built for them across the river. To do this, three long piles were rammed into the river bed from the boat and connected with a short chain to form trestles that served as piers. The supporting beams were placed on these trestles, which were about five meters apart. Long poles followed. Planks served as bridge decking.
The bridge built in this way always had to be demolished in autumn and rebuilt in spring due to the risk of flooding and ice. When, after the collapse of a bridge in nearby Galbrasten (1938 to 1946: Dreiflur, Russian: Liwenskoje), the district office banned further bridge construction in Giewerlauken, it was decided to build a ferry . It was built by a ship's carpenter in the first 1930s and remained in service until 1945.
church
The majority Protestant population of Giewerlaukens resp. Dreiflurs was parish before 1897 in the parish of the Ragnit Church (today in Russian: Neman), then in the parish of the Groß Lenkeningken Church (1938 to 1946: Großlenkenau, Russian: Lesnoje). Thus it belonged to the diocese of Ragnit in the church district Tilsit-Ragnit within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Nikolskoje is located in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Sabrodino within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
school
In Giewerlauken there was a two-class school that was attended by around 60 boys and girls. The community formed a school association with the community of Aszen (1936 to 1946: Aschen, Russian: Chworostjanka, no longer exists today) and the forester's cat catch of the Trappönen Forestry Office.
