Location in Kaliningrad Oblast

Schtschegly ( Russian Щеглы , German  Saugwethen , 1938–1945 Saugehnen , Lithuanian Saugviečiai ) is a place in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Tschernjachowsk in chernyakhovsky district .

Geographical location

Schtschegly is located 21 kilometers northeast of the Rajon town of Chernyakhovsk (Insterburg) on the small river Buda (Eng. Niebudies, 1938-1945 Kutte ). The next train station was Stablacken (now Russian: Priosjornoje) until 1945 on the Insterburg – Kraupischken railway line of the Insterburger Kleinbahnen, which has since been decommissioned .

history

The place called Kuschineren at the beginning of the 16th century was a village before 1945 with many scattered small farms and homesteads. In 1874 it was in the newly built office district Kaukern (Russian Today: Sagorjewka) incorporated, which - in 1930 renamed "District Bärensprung" - existed until 1945 and for district Insterburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. With the district of Saugwethelen, which was incorporated before 1908, Saugwethen had a total of 122 inhabitants in 1910.

On October 1, 1929, the rural community of Saugwethen merged with the rural communities of Antschögstupönen, Bednohren (1938–1945: Bednoren) and Skardupönen (Ksp. Pelleningken; Russian after 1945, Vologodskoje, no longer existent) to form the new rural community of Saugwethen. The number of inhabitants rose to 286 by 1933 and was still 241 in 1939. On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - of the year 1938, Saugwethen was given the new name "Saugehnen" for political and ideological reasons.

In 1945 the place came with the northern East Prussia to the Soviet Union and in 1950 (as Saugwethen and Bednohren) received the Russian name "Schtschegly". The place was assigned to the village soviet Sagorski selski soviet in Chernyakhovsk Raion . From 2008 to 2015 Schschegly belonged to the rural municipality of Kalushskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Chernyakhovsk.

church

Before 1945 the population of Saugwethens resp. Saugehnens almost without exception Protestant denomination and thus parish in the parish of Pelleningken (1938–1946: Strigengrund, today in Russian: Sagorskoje). It belonged to the church district Insterburg in the church province East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . The flight and expulsion of the local population as a result of the Second World War and the restrictive church policy of the Soviet Union caused church life to collapse here as in all of northern East Prussia . It was not until the 1990s that new church life emerged in Shchegly, as in numerous other places in the Kaliningrad Oblast, in an Evangelical Lutheran congregation that today belongs to the Chernyakhovsk church region in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .

A partnership exists between the community in Schtschegly and the community in Berlin-Kaulsdorf .
