Okunjowo ( Russian Окунёво , German Nodems ) is a submerged place in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . The local office is located in Zelenogradsk Raion .
Geographical location
Okunjowo was located on the western Baltic coast of Samland , 36 kilometers from the city of Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) and could be reached via a now impassable back road from Powarowka (Kirpehnen) on the Russian highway A 192 in a south-westerly direction. The next train station was Russkoje (Germau) on the Fischhausen – Groß Dirschkeim railway line .
history
The place, founded in 1405 and called Nodems until 1946, was a place with a domain and a beach house, surrounded by a large park , before 1945 . At the beginning of the order , the village still belonged to episcopal Samland territory, in 1277 the order exchanged it for the goods Mettkeim (now Russian: Novgorodskoje) and Drebnau (Seljony Gai) as well as another estate in Thuringia . It was then owned by the sovereign and later became a state domain . From 1710 it was leased and privatized in 1805. In 1871 the amber merchant Moritz Becker bought the Nodems estate, which in 1872 also acquired the Palmnicken (Jantarny) estate .
In 1874 the rural community of Nodems and the property of Nodems came to the newly established Gauten district (today in Russian: Putilowo), which was renamed "Godnicken District" (no longer exists) in 1930, in the Fischhausen district (1939 to 1945 Samland district ) in the administrative district Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On May 23, 1894, the rural community of Nodems was converted into the manor district of the same name . On July 6, 1901, the rural community of Lesnicken (Russian: Rakuschino, no longer exists) from the Palmnicken (Jantarny) district was incorporated into the manor district of Nodems.
When its owner Becker sold the Nodems estate again in 1899, the state made it a domain again. Together with the Vorwerk Lesnicken, the land area came to an impressive 450 hectares.
In 1910 there were 255 people living in Nodems. On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Nodems finally lost its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring community of Rothenen (Russian: Rakitno, no longer existing).
As a result of the war, Nodems came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Russian name Okunjowo in 1947. At the same time the place was classified in the village soviet Logwinski selski Sowet in Primorsk Raion . Later the place came into the Powarowkski selski Sowet . It was probably abandoned around 1980.
Nodemser Schlucht ("Schwedenschanze")
Before 1945, Nodems was known for its gorge , also known as the "Schwedenschanze" , which was in the north of the village. The small stream Kuyck or Kuckhe flowed through them into the Baltic Sea. At the headland there were remains of a Prussian rampart, but most of it had slipped into the water more than a hundred years ago. The beach here was 150 meters wide.
church
Before 1945, the population of Nodems was almost exclusively of the Protestant denomination and was thus incorporated into the parish of the parish church in Germau (today Russian: Russkoje) in the parish of Fischhausen (Primorsk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
