history

In the 19th century the Übermemelsche Krug stood on the right bank of the Memel. Panemunė (Übermemel) was formed after the Treaty of Versailles came into force in 1920 from the part of the former city of Tilsit located on the other side of the Memel in the Memelland League of Nations and annexed by Lithuania in 1923/1924. The district also included Groß Plauschwarren and the estate districts Adlig Groß Plauschwarren , Adlig Klein Plauschwarren and Milchbude . After the Memelland was returned to the German Reich due to an ultimatum in 1939 , Übermemel was reintegrated into the city of Tilsit. After the end of World War II , Tilsit came to the Soviet Union, with the Memel forming the border between the Kaliningrad exclave of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic and the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic . This separated the Tilsit and Übermemel , which had now been renamed Sowetsk . The independence of Lithuania and the collapse of the Soviet Union have turned the republic border within the Soviet Union into a state border.
traffic
The Lithuanian highway Magistralinis kelias A12 ( European route 77 ) runs through Panemunė, which crossed the Memel on the Königin-Luise-Brücke , over which an electrically operated small railway ran from 1914 to October 1944. The bridge is now only open to pedestrians; Since 2017, traffic has been routed east of Panemunė via the Sovetsk bypass (on the Lithuanian side Magistralinis kelias A21 ).
