Prochladnoje is located north of the Kaliningrad – Baltijsk (Königsberg – Pillau) railway , the former East Prussian Southern Railway, and can be reached from Kostrowo (Bludau) on the Russian trunk road A 193 (formerly German Reichsstrasse 131 ). The next train station is the Ostanowotschny point "Op 29 km" (stopping point, until 1945 Kaspershöfen train station ) on the railway line mentioned.
Place name
The name "Kragau" or "Craghen" is derived from "kragis", which means a "narrow-necked vessel".
history
The place called Kragau until 1947 was founded in 1310. It became the seat of a domain office that included the parishes of Thierenberg (Russian: Dunajewka ), Kumehnen ( Kumatschowo ) and Medenau ( Logwino ). In the 18th century this became a chamber office that existed until 1822.
In 1874 the village and the Kragau domain were incorporated into the newly created administrative district Medenau (Russian: Logwino). It existed until 1945 and until 1939 belonged to the district of Fischhausen , after 1939 to the district of Samland in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 241 inhabitants registered in Kragau, 117 of them in the village and 124 in the manor district.
On September 30, 1928, the rural communities of Kragau and Mossehnen (no longer exist today) and the manor district of Kragau merged to form the new rural community of Kragau. The population was 233 in 1933 and 245 in 1939.
In 1945 Kragau and northern East Prussia became part of the Soviet Union in the wake of the war and in 1947 it was renamed Prochladnoje. At the same time the place was classified in the village soviet Logwinski selski Sowet in Primorsk Raion . Later the place came into the Powarowkski selski Sowet . A burial place for fallen Soviet soldiers was established in the place. The place Prochladnoye shifted, however, by about three kilometers to the southwest. The burial site was closed around 1985 and included in the Soviet memorial for the war dead in Russkoye .
Since 1995, Prochladnoje has belonged to the Kostrowski selski okrug district . From 2005 to 2015 the place belonged to the rural municipality Pereslavskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district Zelenogradsk.
