history
The then Swaygrube place indicated was before 1384 a Prußenfestung . On June 27, 1721, Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau bought the goods there. A few decades later - on August 30, 1757 - Schwägereu was completely burned down in the battle of Groß-Jägersdorf . In 1785 there was again a village with an aristocratic outbuilding , the latter being destroyed by fire on July 26, 1814 to the ground. Already in 1815 the village existed again with a Vorwerk and also the village Hopfenau (no longer exist today). With the exemption of the farmers, Schwägerau was withdrawn from the possession of the Princes of Anhalt-Dessau, but the estate remained in their possession. In 1867 Schwägerau had 558 inhabitants, in 1871 there were 571, of which 440 lived in the village, 100 on the estate, nine in the forestry area and 22 in the railwayman's houses.
In 1874 the rural community Schwägerau and the manor district Schwägerau came to the newly established district of Groß Bubainen (renamed "Waldhausen" in 1930, Russian name: Bereschkowskoje). It belonged to 1945 the district Insterburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia .
In the village of Schwägerau there were 317 inhabitants registered in 1910, while there were 134 on the estate. On September 30, 1928, the rural communities of Hopfenau and Schwägerau and the Schwägerau manor district merged to form the new rural community of Schwägerau. The population in 1933 totaled 478 and was 428 in 1939.
As a result of the war, Schwägerau and northern East Prussia became part of the Soviet Union in 1945 . In 1947 the place was given the Russian name Saovrashnoye and at the same time was assigned to the Bereschkowski selski Sowet in the Chernyakhovsk district . From 2008 to 2015 Saovrashnoye belonged to the rural municipality of Svobodnenskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district of Chernyakhovsk.
church
Before 1945 the population of Schwägerau was almost without exception of Protestant denomination and was parish in the parish of the Norkitten Church (today in Russian: Meschduretschje). That belonged to the church district Insterburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
