Local history

In the catchment area of ​​the Rastenburg of the Teutonic Order , the village later called Pötschendorf was created in 1448. From him the Gut Pötschendorf developed, which last belonged to the member of the Prussian House of Representatives, Gustav von Saltzwedell , who had acquired it in 1852 from the previous owner Eduard Jorck for 60,000 thalers. In 1818 there were 16 houses in the village.

In 1874 Pötschendorf became the seat and namesake of the district of Pötschendorf , which initially included seven communities or manor districts. He was subordinate to the district of Rastenburg in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . After the place had been connected to its neighboring towns Heiligelinde and Rastenburg by a road since the middle of the 19th century, it was also connected to the rail network on July 1, 1907 via the Schlobitten – Rastenburg railway.
