There was no train connection . The local office is now in the area of ​​the Dobrowolsk military training area (Russian: Dobrowolski poligon).

history

The former Picktschincken was mentioned for the first time in 1625. In order to distinguish the village Petzingken (Pillkallen parish) (1938 to 1946: Hainort, now Russian: Pskowskoje), which is also in the Pillkallen district , the village received the addition “ Parish Schirwindt ", Which was updated in" Parish Groß Warningken " at the beginning of the 20th century .

Before 1945 the place consisted essentially of only a middle courtyard. Between 1874 and 1945 Petzingken was incorporated into the Pieragen district (no longer existing today), which - renamed the Nicklashagen district from 1939 - belonged to the Pillkallen (Schloßberg) district in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

41 residents were registered in Petzingken in 1910. Their number decreased to 26 by 1933 and in 1939 - the village was called "Petzingen" since June 3, 1938 - to 28.

As a result of the war, Petzingen came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 . It is said to have been populated for a short time, but was then abandoned. A Russian place name is not known.

church

In Petzingken resp. Before 1945, Petzingen had an almost exclusively Protestant population. Since the Schirwindt Church was founded, the village has been a parish in its parish and has this added to its name. After the parish was changed to the parish of Groß Warningken , the name was changed accordingly. Both parishes belonged for the duration of their existence to the church district Pillkallen (Schloßberg) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
