history

The place formerly called Leißienen became the seat and eponymous place of an administrative district on June 13, 1874 , but only for a few weeks until it was renamed "Amtsgebiet Plauen " (Russian: Fedotowo). Until 1945 he belonged to the district of Wehlau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 the Leißienen manor - to which the Vorwerk Milchwalde and Redden belonged - had 230 inhabitants. In 1924 the construction company Windschild & Langelott from Königsberg built a new reinforced concrete bridge over the Alley, which was named "Hindenburg Bridge".

On September 30, 1928, the rural community Rockelkeim, the Georgenberg manor district and the Leißienen manor district merged to form the new rural community Leißienen, which from now on belonged to the Rockelkeim district. The number of inhabitants was 381 in 1933 and 425 in 1939.

As a result of the Second World War , Leißienen came to the Soviet Union like all of northern East Prussia and was renamed " Rodniki " in 1946 . In the from 1991/92 Russian Oblast Kaliningrad the place became a "settlement" (Russian: possjolok) in 2009 due to a structural and administrative reform within the Pravdinskoje gorodskoje posselenije (municipality Pravdinsk) in the Pravdinsk district .
