On May 14, 1930, the region was restructured to the effect that the three communities Borchersdorf, Schönmohr (today Russian: Partisanskoje) and Weissenstein (Marijskoje) were merged to form a new “Borchersdorf District”. It also belonged to the district of Königsberg until it was added to the district of Samland in 1939 .

Church building

Church ruins in summer 2011

A church for the first time in Borchersdorf in the Order of time documenting the 1,481th The building became dilapidated over the years and was replaced with a new church in 1735. It was a simple building with a tower without a choir. After another dilapidation, it received a major overhaul between 1807 and 1814.

During the fighting in World War II, the tower helmet was destroyed in 1944/45 and the south wall was damaged by artillery fire. There is now a big hole in the wall. The southern porch has disappeared, the northern extension is in ruins, the roof of the nave has collapsed. If a kolkhoz still used the church building as a warehouse after 1945, it can no longer be used today.

Wall mosaic (June 2011)

On the east wall there is still a wall mosaic with the larger-than-life sower in a field, who spreads the grain for the next sowing with a swinging arm. It was donated by Heinrich Graf Dönhoff as a memorial to the fallen after the First World War . The plaque with the names of the fallen is no longer legible.

One of the two earlier church bells survived the war on the bell cemetery in Hamburg and has been ringing since 1952 alongside another bell from Turheim in Silesia in the Protestant Christ Church of Trostberg in Upper Bavaria, a new building from 1951. On this bell it can still be seen that the saint Katharina was the namesake of the pre-Reformation church in Borchersdorf.
