history
Until 1945
Rasino / Juwendt (Möwenort)
historical development
The small village of Juwendt . Before 1945 consisted of many small farms and a forestry. The year of foundation is not known, but in 1874 the place was incorporated into the newly established district of Nemonien (today Russian: Golowkino), which - renamed "District Elchwerder" in 1938 - to the district of Labiau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia until 1945 belonged to. In 1910 Juwendt had 332 inhabitants
On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938 Juwendt was renamed "Möwenort" for political and ideological reasons. On April 1st of the following year, Möwenort, then with less than 300 inhabitants, merged with the neighboring towns of Ludendorff (until 1918: Groß Friedrichsgraben II) and Heidendorf (now also: Rasino) to form the new municipality of Ludendorff. As their district, Möwenort came to the Soviet Union in 1945 with all of northern East Prussia .
Juwendt Church
Church building
On August 16, 1931, a newly built small Protestant church was consecrated in Juwendt. It was a white plastered building with a bell tower on top. The church survived the Second World War unscathed. In the 1950s it was repurposed and served as a warehouse for fishing nets. Possibly after a fire, the church was demolished by military forces in the late 1950s. A private building was erected on its foundations, the exact location of which is known only to the extent that it was located on the Großer Friedrichsgraben.
Parish
By hiving off the parish of the evangelical church Gilge (today Russian: Matrossowo) an independent parish was established in Juwendt in 1909, which was also assigned an assistant preacher position. Until the church was built, services were held in the nearby school. With Gilge Juwendt remained parochial and thus belonged to the church district Labiau in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 .
Today Rasino is in the catchment area of the newly established Evangelical Lutheran community in Golowkino ( Nemonien , 1938–1946 Elchwerder ) in the 1990s . It belongs to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
Parish places
The parish of Gilge Church was divided into two districts, of which the southern part made up the area of Juwendts. These included the villages of Agilla (1938-1946: Haffwerder, today Russian: Krasnoje), Alt Heidendorf (1938-1946: Heidendorf, Russian: Rasino), Ludendorff (until 1918: Groß Friedrichsgraben II) and Juwendt.
Pastor
As early as 1905, a separate vicar was appointed for the pastoral care district of Juwendt, whose position was filled until 1936:

Juwendt School
The oldest school in Juwendt was on the Großer Friedrichsgraben (Russian: Polesski Kanal). It was a wooden house that housed two classes. In 1927 the building was replaced by a new building. When the number of students in Juwendt fell, the school was merged with the Alt Heidendorfer School in 1939 to form a three-class school. The school building has been preserved to this day and is used as a residential building.
Rasino / (old) Heidendorf
historical development
Alt Heidendorf, two kilometers south of Juwendt . Before 1945 consisted of many small farms. Founded in 1797 as a Mookolonie, the Alt Heidendorf forest colony, which then belonged to the Arrow estate (no longer exists today), was formed into the Alt Heidendorf rural community in 1887 and integrated into the Pfeil district. In 1910 Alt Heidendorf had 333 inhabitants. Their number rose to 481 by 1933. On June 3, 1938, Alt Heidendorf was renamed “Heidendorf” (without name affix) and joined as such a place on April 1, 1939 with Möwenort (until 1938: Juwendt, now also in Russian: Rasino) and Ludendorff to form the new Ludendorff community. As its district, Heidendorf was assigned to the Soviet Union in 1945 .
church
Alt Heidendorf was not a separate church town, but belonged to the Gilge church and from 1909 to its special pastoral care district Juwendt, which later had its own church. Today Rasino is in the catchment area of the newly created Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Golowkino (Nemonien , 1938–1946 Elchwerder ).
School Alt Heidendorf
Alt Heidendorf had a two-class school building, which burned down during the war in 1914. In 1917 a new building was created. In 1939 the schools in Möwenort (until 1938: Juwendt) and Heidendorf in Möwenort were merged into a three-class school. The school building in Alt Heidendorf no longer exists.
Since 1945
Both Juwendt / Möwenort as well as Alt and Neu Heidendorf received the Russian name "Rasino" in 1947. At the same time, the place was incorporated into the village soviet Golowkinski selski Sowet in Polessk Raion . From 2008 to 2016 Rasino belonged to the rural municipality Golovinskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Polessk.
