history
For Balschkehmen it is assumed that it is a settlement from the Prussian period . On the former Schlossberg was already a Heidenburg before 1275 the Knights to Prußengau nadruvians conquered. To protect the surrounding villages, a fliehburg ( palisade fortress ) has been maintained on the Schloßberg .
In 1907 160 people lived in Balschkehmen, in 1925 there were 144, 1933 139 and 1939 133. On June 3, 1938 - with official confirmation of July 16, 1938 - Balschkehmen was given the new name "Balsken" for political and ideological reasons. From 1933 to 1945 Otto Schneider was the last German mayor.
After the Second World War, the place came under Soviet administration and was renamed Poretschje in 1947. Until 2008 the place was incorporated into the village soviet or village district Bagrationowski selski sovet (okrug) and then came to the rural community Gavrilowskoje selskoje posselenije . Since 2014 the place has belonged to the municipal self-government unit of the Osjorsk district.
During the time of the Soviet Union , church activities were prohibited. In the 1990s, Protestant congregations formed again in the Kaliningrad Oblast, of which the one in Kadymka ( Eszerningken / Escherningken , 1938–1946 Eschingen ) is closest to Poretschje. It belongs to the newly established Kaliningrad provost in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia . The clergy responsible are the pastors at the Salzburg church in Gussew ( Gumbinnen ).
