history

Soldatskoje / Lewitten (until 1945)

The formerly Lewitten called village located 15 kilometers north of Bagrationovsk (Preußisch Eylau) and was 1874 in the District United Lauth (now Russian: Newskoje) incorporated. Until 1945 the place was part of the district of Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 the rural community Lewitten had 362 inhabitants. On May 14, 1930 Lewitten was reclassified from the Groß Lauth district to the Uderwangen district (Russian: Chekhovo), also in the Prussian Eylau district. In 1933 374 people lived here and in 1939 397 people.

Soldatskoje / Pilgrim (until 1945)

The manor district, once called the Pilgrim , is 16½ kilometers north of Bagrationovsk . In 1874 Pilgrim came to the district of Uderwangen (today in Russian: Chekhovo), which also belonged to the district of Preußisch Eylau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 53 residents registered in Pilgrim. On September 30, 1928 Pilgrim lost its independence, because the manor districts of Pilgrim and Eberswalde (Russian: Mochowoje) and the rural communities of Uderwangen and Unruh (Kerchenskoje) merged to form the new rural community of Uderwangen. The incorporation into the district of the same name remained.

Soldatskoje / Schwellienen (until 1945)

The small Vorwerk, then known as Schwellienen , is located northeast of the Beisleide river (Russian: Reswaja) and is 14½ kilometers from Bagrationovsk. Schwellienen was a district of Vierzighuben (Russian: Tambowskoje) and belonged to the Groß Lauth (Newskoje) district from 1874 to 1930 , then to the Knauten (Prudki) district until 1936 and then to the Mühlhausen (Gwardeiskoje) district until 1945 , always in the Prussian district of East Prussia Eylau .

Soldat's bunk (from 1946)

As a result of the Second World War , Lewitten, Pilgrim and Schwellienen came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia and in 1946 received the common Russian name “ Soldatskoje ”. Until 2009 the place was incorporated into the Gwardeiski soviet (Dorfsovjet Gwardeiskoje (Mühlhausen) ) and since then - after a structural and administrative reform - it has been classified as a “settlement” (Russian: possjolok) within the Gwardeiskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Gwardeiskoje ) in Bagrationovsk Raion .

church

Before 1945 a predominantly Protestant population lived in the three villages of Lewitten, Pilgrim and Schwellienen . While Lewitten and Pilgrim were parish in the parish of Uderwangen (today Russian: Chekhowo), Schwellienen belonged to the parish of Mühlhausen (Gwardeiskoje). Both parish districts were incorporated into the church district Preussisch Eylau (Bagrationowsk) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Today all three places are in the catchment area of ​​the Protestant village church in Gwardeiskoje (Mühlhausen) , which was newly established in the 1990s . It is a subsidiary of the Church of the Resurrection in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER).
