On July 18, 1874 eleven rural communities or manor districts , including Kiauten, domain and the community Eisenmühle, which later belonged to Kiauten, formed the Rominten district (1938-1946 Hardteck , Russian: Krasnolessje). In 1910 there were 168 inhabitants in the estate district of Kiauten, and 229 in the municipality of Kiauten, Eisenhütte.

On July 3, 1938 - with official confirmation from July 16, 1938 - Kiauten was renamed "Zellmühle" in the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign . A year later, the administrative district was also given the new name "Amt District Hardteck", but it remained in the district of Goldap in the administrative district of Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
