History

The village of Peppeln was founded in the 14th century. Between 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the Bärwalde district (now Russian: Iwanowka) and belonged to the Labiau district in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 175 people lived here.

On September 30, 1928, Groß Pöppeln expanded when the Imbärwalde estate , the rural community of Klein Bärwalde (both now in Russian: Iwanowka) and the Klein Naujock, Forst (until 1902: Pöppeln, Forst) were incorporated. Accordingly, the population was already 217 in 1933 and 202 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Groß Pöppeln came to the Soviet Union in 1945 with northern East Prussia . In 1950 the place was renamed Retschki and at the same time assigned to the village soviet Mordowski selski Sowet, later Tjuleninski selski Sowet , in Polessk Raion . From 2008 to 2016, Rechki belonged to the rural municipality of Turgenevskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Polessk.

The treasure was bought by the Prussia Museum in Königsberg (Prussia) in 1885.
