Warthen was a manor village southwest of Koenigsberg in today's Gurjewsk Rajon in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad .

Geographical location

Warthen was about eight kilometers southwest of the city center of Königsberg not far from Reichsstraße 1 , today the regional road 27A-020 (ex A194 ).

history

Gutsdorf, formerly known as Warthen (before 1820 also Warten ), came to the newly established district of Wundlacken as a rural community in 1874 and belonged to the Königsberg district until 1945 , and Samland district from 1939 , in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1897 the small rural community of Anker was incorporated into Warthen. In 1910 the population was 187. After the dissolution of the district of Wundlacken in 1923, Warthen came to the district of Kalgen .

On September 30, 1928, Warthen gave up its independence and merged with the Wundlacken estate to form the new rural community of Wundlacken. This was reclassified in 1939 to the neighboring district of Godrienen (today Russian: Laskino), when the district of Kalgen was dissolved.

After 1945 the Gutsdorf Warthen was (apparently) not repopulated and no longer exists.

church

The overwhelming majority of the Warthen population was of the Protestant denomination before 1945 . The village was parish in the parish of Haffstrom and belonged to the parish of Königsberg-Land I within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
