Geographical location
Wassilkowo is located northeast of the city of Kaliningrad (Königsberg) . It is seven kilometers to the center of the oblast capital and four kilometers to the district town of Gurjewsk (Neuhausen) . The local area extends between the Leningrad district of Kaliningrad and the north-eastern bypass of the city. The Kaliningrad arterial road runs through the village in the direction of Gurjewsk and Polessk (Labiau) (Russian trunk road A 190 ).

In the north of the local area is the "Fort 2a Barnekow", one of the fortification buildings in Königsberg , named after the Prussian infantry general Albert von Barnekow (1809–1895).
history
The village, called Neudamm until 1946 , came in 1874 to the then newly established district of Bulitten (Russian: Awangardnoje) in the Königsberg district (Prussia) (1939 to 1945 Samland district ) in the Königsberg district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 92 people lived here.
On September 30, 1928 Neudamm lost its independence and was incorporated into the neighboring town of Tropitten (Russian: Kumatschowo) after Almonds (no longer existent).
After 1945 Neudamm came to the Soviet Union. The place was renamed in 1947 in Vasilkovo and at the same time classified in the village soviet Saosjorski selski Sowet in Gurjewsk Rajon . In 1954 the place came into the Bolscheissakowski selski Sowet . From 2008 to 2013 Vasilkowo belonged to the rural municipality Bolscheissakowskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district Gurjewsk.
