Uschakowo ( Russian Ушаково , German Ströpken , lit. Ušakovas ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad and belongs to the Osjorskoje gorodskoje posselenije (municipality Osjorsk ( Darkehmen , 1938-1946 Angerapp )) in the district of Osjorsk (district Darkehmen / Angerapp ).
Geographical location
Uschakowo is three kilometers east of the city of Osjorsk on a side road that connects the Rajons capital with Gawrilowo ( Gawaiten , 1938-1946 Herzogsrode ) and continues to the Russian-Polish border area north of the city of Goldap (Polish: Gołdap). A kilometer south of the village runs a road that led to 1945 as the German Reichsstrasse 137 from Groß Skaisgirren (1938–1946 Kreuzingen ) to Suwalki (1941–1944 Sudauen , today in Polish: Suwałki). In Uschakowo a road flows from the north from Suworowka ( Weedern ).
There is no longer a rail connection. Until 1945, the Darkehmen Ost ( Angerapp Ost ) junction station stood on the Ströpken municipality , where the railway lines from Insterburg (now in Russian: Tschernjachowsk) to Goldap (now in Polish: Gołdap) or from Anburg (Polish: Węgorzewo) to Gumbinnen (Russian: Gussew) met.
The little river, known as the Geilebus before 1945, runs southwest of the village and flows into the Angerapp (Angrapa) a few kilometers later .
history
The founding date of Ströpken is not known. In the church accounts of 1701/02 the settlement was called "Mazaitschen".
After the devastating plague of 1709–1711 and the many deaths in the population, the Prussian kings tried to reoccupy the courts. Since 1724, settlers from Nassau , Oldenburg , the Palatinate , Württemberg and Halberstadt began to arrive . A larger number came from the village of Ströbeck near Halberstadt , whose residents were known to be able chess players .
When King Friedrich Wilhelm I wanted to convince himself of the success of his resettlement policy on extensive trips, he once played a game of chess with the village mayor in Mazaitschen . The king lost the game and promised the people that a wish would come true. The residents wished to be able to give the place the name of their home village. The king consented, and so in 1729 Mazaitschen was given the name Ströbeck , which later adapted to the Prussian dialect as Streepke and then Ströpken (until 1946).
In 1818 Ströpken had 65 inhabitants, the number of which rose to 79 by 1863.
On May 6, 1874 Ströpken together with twelve rural communities or manor districts formed the administrative district Weedern (today Russian: Suworowka), which until 1945 belonged to the district Darkehmen (1938-1946 Angerapp ) in the administrative district Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On December 1, 1910, 207 inhabitants were registered in Ströpken, in 1925 there were already 244, in 1933 already 251 and in 1939 finally 259.
On January 1, 1945, Ströpken and seven other communities belonged to the Weedern district. As a result of the Second World War , the village came under Soviet administration and was renamed Ushakowo in 1946 - a place name that already occurs several times in Russia and the Kaliningrad Oblast. Until 2009, Ushakowo was incorporated into the Bagrationovsky soviet (Dorfsovjet Bagrationowo ( Wikischken , 1938–1946 Wiecken )) and since then has been a "settlement" (possjolok) in the Osjorskoje gorodskoje posselenije (municipality of Osjorsk ( Darkehmen , 1938–1946 ) in Angerapp district Osjorsk in the now Russian Kaliningrad Oblast .
church
The Ströpken, which was inhabited by a predominantly Protestant population before 1945, was parish in the Darkehmen parish (1938–1946 Angerapp , Russian: Osjorsk). It belonged to the church district Darkehmen / Angerapp in the church province East Prussia of the church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergy were pastors Johannes Gemmel and Helmut Passauer .
Church life was forbidden during the time of the Soviet Union . It was not until the 1990s that new communities formed in the Kaliningrad Oblast , including in Kadymka ( Eszerningken / Escherningken , 1938–1946 Eschingen ) not far from Uschakowo. It is located in the area of the newly founded provost of Kaliningrad of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER). The responsible pastors are those of the Salzburg Church in Gussew ( Gumbinnen ).
school
Up until 1945 school lessons took place in nearby Hallwischken (1938–1946 Hallweg , Russian: Ryazanskoje).
Today Uschakowo is the central school location with a regional school center, which the new owners of the Suworowka ( Weedern ) estate built after a stud farm was rebuilt in the estate.
