Semjonowo ( Russian Семёново , German Fuchsberg, Kreis Königsberg / Samland and Marienhagen , Lithuanian Fuchsbergas ) is the common name of two independent towns in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad ( Königsberg region (Prussia) ) and belongs to the Oserkowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Oserki (Great Lindenau) ) in Gwardeisk district ( Tapiau district )).
Geographical location
Semjonowo is located 20 kilometers southeast of the city of Kaliningrad (Königsberg) on a side road that connects Selenopolje (Borchersdorf) on the Russian trunk road A 196 (former German Reichsstrasse 131 ) with Gruschewka (Sommerfeld) near Prawdinsk (Friedland in East Prussia) . In Semjonowo a drivable path ends, which leads from the former place Groß Hohenhagen (Russian: Kaschtanowka, no longer exists) on the trunk road R 508 through the district Marienhagen .
Before 1945, the former Fuchsberg was a train station on the railway line from Königsberg (Prussia) via Gerdauen (today Russian: Schelesnodoroschny) to Angerburg (today Polish: Węgorzewo) , which is no longer in operation.
history
Until 1945
Semjonowo / Fuchsberg
Where to 1945 Fuchsberg sat around 1380 a "wilderness maker" in orden temporal "wilderness Beritt Station". His job was to report enemy movements in the wilderness, which was still widespread at the time. From this a forest workers settlement developed over time , which marks the beginning of the later village.
On April 30, 1874, an administrative district was established in Fuchsberg , to which only the rural community Fuchsberg belonged. Until 1939 he was assigned to the district of Königsberg (Prussia) , from 1939 to 1945 to the district of Samland in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
Fuchsberg experienced devastating fires in 1769 and 1890 that destroyed a large part of the houses.
In 1910, 735 people lived in Fuchsberg. Their number rose to 868 by 1933 and was 959 in 1939.
Fuchsberg was the school location. The thatched half-timbered house of the school building existed until 1945. In the meantime, however, a new building, the so-called “old school”, had been built, which in turn was replaced by a “new school” after the First World War .
As a result of the war, Fuchsberg came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 and was given the Russian name "Semjonowo".
Semjonowo / Marienhagen
The small place called Marienhagen until 1946 consisted essentially of a large courtyard. With only 55 inhabitants in 1905, Marienhagen was created as a dismantling Zimmermann (that's his name until 1861) in the municipality of Fuchsberg and was therefore in the district of Königsberg (Prussia) , and from 1939 to 1945 the district of Samland in the district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The school location was Fuchsberg. Assigned to the Soviet Union in 1945 , Marienhagen was also given the Russian name “Semjonowo”.
Since 1946
The two “Semjonowo” named localities were incorporated into the newly created Gwardeisk district ( Tapiau district ) in 1947 by the Samland district, in the extreme southeast of which they are now located on the border with Guryevsk district . Likewise, both places came to the Osjorski selski soviet (Dorfsovjet Oserki (Groß Lindenau) ). Only a comprehensive structural and administrative reform brought both places together, so that Semjonowo, with its current population of 100 (as of October 14, 2010), is now a “settlement” ( Russian possjolok ) within the newly formed Oserkowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Oserki (Groß Lindenau) ) is.
church
In the early days there is said to have been a church in Fuchsberg, which stood on the highest elevation of the village green and was assigned as a subsidiary church of the Borchersdorf church (today in Russian: Selenopolje). The church was no longer needed when the feudal lord of Löwenhagen (Russian: Komsomolsk), Hans Conrad Baar, had a church built at his official residence in 1542. Allegedly, a metal holy water kettle and the bells were brought from the Fuchsberg Church to Löwenhagen.
With their predominantly Protestant population, Fuchsberg and Marienhagen were parish up until 1945 in the parish of the Borchersdorf church. It belonged to the parish of Königsberg-Land I in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
Today Semjonowo lies in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) . It is the main church of the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
