history

The villages Seversko Staroye and Seversko Novoye on Oredesch were mentioned in the area at the end of the 15th century . The actual settlement emerged from 1857 with the construction of the Saint Petersburg - Warsaw railway line , one of the first in the Russian Empire , when the Siverskaya railway station was built there. Towards the end of the 19th century, several summer house settlements of wealthy Saint Petersburg residents and various facilities, such as a children's home, were built in the area.

On November 27, 1938, the settlements of Kesewo, Dernowski, Druschnoselski and other surrounding areas were merged and were given the status of an urban-type settlement as a " Datschensiedlung " (after the train station) under the name Siwerski .

During the Second World War Siwerski was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from August 1941 to February 1944 .
