Ostrownoje ( Russian Островное , German Motzwethen , 1938 to 1945 Motzfelde , Lithuanian Mocviečiai ) is a place in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Slawsk in slavsky district .
Geographical location
Ostrownoje is ten kilometers northwest of the district town of Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) in a loop of the Gilge (Russian: Matrossowka), the two arms of which are connected by a sluice canal and thus place the place on an island. A side road leads into the village from Schtscheglowka ( Great Britain ) via Losnjaki (Grietischken , 1938 to 1946 Grietienen) . There is no train connection. Until 1945 there was a rail connection via the small train station in Bogdahnen (1938 to 1946: Bolzfelde, today Russian: Werchni Bisser) of the Niederungsbahn (Elchniederungsbahn) on the Brittania – Karkeln (Schtscheglowka – Myssowka) railway , which no longer exists.
history
Before 1945, the small village formerly called Motzwethen consisted of several small and larger, somewhat scattered farms. In 1874 the place was incorporated into the newly established district of Jedwilleiten (from 1939: "District Neuschleuse", the place no longer exists today), which until 1945 became part of the Niederung district (from 1938 "Elchniederung district") in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province East Prussia belonged. On June 3, 1938 - with official confirmation of July 16 - Motzwethen was renamed “Motzfelde” for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.
In 1945 the place came to the Soviet Union in the wake of the war with northern East Prussia . In 1947 he was given the Russian name "Ostrownoje" and was assigned to the village soviet Timirjasewski selski Sowet in Slavsk Raion at the same time . From 2008 to 2015 Ostrownoje belonged to the rural municipality of Timirjasewskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Slavsk.

Motzfelde parish in the parish of the Neukirch church until 1891 and then in the Pokraken church until 1945 (1938 to 1946: Weidenau, today in Russian: Leninskoje). Thus the place was in the church district Tilsit - Ragnit (Sowetsk-Neman) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Ostrownoje is in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) , which was newly established in the 1990s .
