history

Adlig Neuendorf, in the south-eastern neighborhood of Königsberg , on a map from 1910.

The formerly called Neuendorf estate consisted of a large estate and smaller farms before 1945. In 1874 the village became the official seat of the newly established district of Neuendorf, which - like the village itself - was given the official name of "Adlig Neuendorf" around 1900. Until 1939, the village and administrative district belonged to the district of Königsberg (Prussia) in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Adlig Neuendorf was converted into a rural community of the same name.

In 1910, 368 residents were registered in the Adlig Neuendorf estate. By 1933, their number rose to 477.

On April 1, 1939, Adlig Neuendorf was incorporated with the neighboring communities of Schönfließ (Russian: Komsomolskoje) and Seligenfeld (Dalneje) into the municipality and the urban district of Königsberg (Prussia) (now Russian: Kaliningrad).

With the whole of northern East Prussia, the city of Königsberg and its districts also became part of the Soviet Union , and in 1946 Adlig Neuendorf was given the Russian name “ Rschewskoje ”. Since then, the former manor village has belonged to the Kaliningrad district of Moscow Rajon as an urban settlement .

District of Adlig Neuendorf 1874–1939

From 1874 to 1939 Adlig Neuendorf was the district village of the district named after him in the Königsberg district (Prussia) . Initially only the Neuendorf estate (after 1900 "Adlig Neuendorf") belonged to it. That changed on May 14, 1930, when the rural communities Adlig Neuendorf, Schönfließ (Komsomolskoje) and Seligenfeld were merged to form the new district of Adlig Neuendorf. When these three communities were incorporated into Königsberg (Prussia) on April 1, 1939 , the district of Adlig Neuendorf was dissolved.

church

Adlig Neuendorf, with its almost exclusively evangelical population at the time, was already its own parish in earlier times, but was initially supplied as a subsidiary community, then as a mater combinata (equivalent mother community) from Steinbeck (now Russian: Rybnoje). The parish of Steinbeck-Neuendorf belonged to the parish of Königsberg-Land I within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 . The last German clergyman was Pastor Viktor Felix Reiss .

Today Rzhevskoye lies in the catchment area of ​​the Kaliningrad parish of the Resurrection . It belongs to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELCER).
