Opuschki ( Russian Опушки , German Wolfshöhe ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad ( Koenigsberg area (Prussia) ) and lies on the western border of the Osjorsk Rajon ( Darkehmen district , 1938-1946 Angerapp ). Opuschki belongs to the Novostrojewskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Novostrojewo ( Trempen )).
Geographical location
Opuschki is located 30 kilometers southwest of the Rajons capital Osjorsk on a side road that connects Ablutschje ( Kurkenfeld ) on the Russian trunk road R 508 with Korolenkowo ( Oschkin , 1938-1946 Oschern ) on the trunk road A 197 (former German Reichsstrasse 139 ). There is no longer a train connection. Before 1945, the then Wolfshöhe railway station was on the line from Insterburg (Russian: Tschernjachowsk) to Nordenburg (Krylowo) of the Insterburger Kleinbahnen , whose route network no longer exists.
history
When the newly established Abellienen district (1938–1946 Ilmenhagen , since 1946: Belinskoje) was formed in 1874 , the Gutsdorf Wolfshöhe was one of the five founding communities. The village belonged to the district of Gerdauen in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
In 1910 Wolfshöhe had 126 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the Wolfshöhe estate gave up its independence when it was incorporated into the rural community of Plagbuden (since 1946: Uslowoje) together with the Abellienen estate (1938–1946 Ilmenhagen , since 1946: Belinskoje) . On October 15, 1934, the Abellienen district was also renamed the Plagbuden district , with which Wolfshöhe remained connected as a district of Plagbuden.
As a result of the Second World War , Wolfshöhe came to the Soviet Union with all of northern East Prussia and in 1946 was given the name " Opuschki ". By 2009 Opuschki was incorporated into the Nekrssovsky soviet (Dorfwojet Nekrassowo ( (Groß) Karpowen , 1938-1946 Karpauen )) within the Kaliningrad region of Russia since 1991/92. Thereafter, due to a structural and administrative reform, the place was classified as a "settlement" (possjolok) in the Novostrojewskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Novostrojewo ( Trempen )).
church
Before 1945 the population of Wolfshoehe was predominantly of the Protestant denomination. The village was in the parish Karpowen (1938-1946 Karpauen , since 1946: Nekrassowo) and was in the parish Darkehmen (1938-1946 Angerapp , since 1946: Osjorsk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
After the ban on church life during the Soviet Union , numerous Protestant communities were formed again in the Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, since 1991/92. Opuschki is located in the catchment area of the parish in Chernyachovsk ( Insterburg ) and belongs to the newly formed provosty of Kaliningrad in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
