Place name

The Russian word “Шлюз” (“Schljus”) means “ sluice ” and refers to the nearby sluice on the Pregel, which gives the place (“Schleusenort”) its name.

history

The former Waynothin was founded in 1352. The manor village was bought on June 17, 1721 by Prince Leopold von Anhalt Dessau (the "old Dessauer"). On August 30, 1757, the place burned down during the battle of Groß-Jägersdorf and was rebuilt. From around 1870 the estate was leased from the Princely House of Anhalt-Dessau.

In 1874 Woynothen was in the newly built office district Norkitten (: Meschduretschje Russian today) incorporated, which until 1945 the district Insterburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1910 there were 116 inhabitants in Woynothen. After almost 60 years of lease, the Princely House of Anhalt took over the estate again in 1926, but only until 1930, after which it was leased again.

Two years earlier, on September 30, 1928, Woynothen gave up his independence and merged with the rural communities of Mangarben (today Russian: Priwalowo) and Norkitten (Meschduretschje) and the manor districts of Schloßberg (Botschagi) and Norkitten to form the new rural community of Norkitten. On June 3, 1938, the place lost its previous name and was renamed "Kleinnorkitten" for political and ideological reasons.

As a result of the Second World War , the village came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 . In 1950 the place received the Russian name Schjusnoje. The place was assigned to the village soviet Mezhduretschenski selski Sowet in the Chernyakhovsk Raion and after its dissolution in 1961 came to the Bereschkowski selski Sowet . From 2008 to 2015 Schluysnoye belonged to the rural municipality of Svobodnenskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the city district of Chernyakhovsk.
