Sirenewka is located on the north bank of the Pregel (Russian: Pregolja) at the confluence of the Auxinne (1938–1945: Goldfließ, today Russian: Golubaja). It is 19 kilometers to the eastern Rajon town of Chernyakhovsk (Insterburg) . An old trade route runs through Sirenjewka, today the municipal road 27K-125 from Meschduretschje (Norkitten) on the federal road A229 (also European route 28 , formerly Reichsstrasse 1 ) via Kamenskoje (Saalau) and Schaworonkowo (vortex) to Dalneje (Groß Schirrau) on the federal road A216 (also Europastraße 77 , formerly Reichsstraße 138 ). In the village, the municipal road 27K-163 branches off to Talpaki (Taplacken) . The next train station is Meschduretschje on the Kaliningrad – Chernyshevskoje railway line (Königsberg – Eydtkuhnen / Eydtkau) - a section of the former Prussian Eastern Railway - for onward travel to Lithuania and the Russian heartland.
history
The first documented mention of the place called Siemohnen before 1945 is in the year 1353. In addition to farmers and fishermen, mainly wood rafts settled in Siemohnen, who assembled the tree trunks cut in the forests near Insterburg into rafts and transported them to Königsberg (Prussia) . An old trade route ran through Siemohnen, and its users had to take a ferry across the Pregel until a bridge was built in 1680. In 1874 the place was incorporated into the newly established district of Saalau (today in Russian: Kamenskoje), which belonged to the district of Insterburg in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On March 1, 1939, Siemohnen and the neighboring town of Schönwiese (today in Russian: Poddubnoje ) were reclassified from the Saalau district to the Norkitten district (Meschduretschje), which, like the previous one, was in the Insterburg district.
As a result of the Second World War, Siemohnen came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia in 1945 . In 1947 the place was given the Russian name "Sirenewka" and was assigned to the village soviet Kamenski selski soviet in Chernyakhovsk Raion at the same time . From 2008 to 2015 Sirenewka belonged to the rural municipality of Kamenskoye selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Chernyakhovsk.
