history

Bregden was first mentioned in 1338 when the Prussian Nacoke von Pobrayden was found to be the owner.

In the middle of the 15th century, the von Massenbach family acquired the village and estate of Bregden. In 1460 the estate was sold and passed to the von der Groeben family . The property then passed to the von Portugall family through marriage , then to the Unruh family until it was sold in 1766.

The Buttlar family then owned the property for almost a century . In 1852 the merchant Wilhelm Wien acquired the manor Bregden. It was passed on in his family. Friederike Clara Wienb married Otto Meyer (later Austrian-Hungarian consul general and head of the Königsberg merchants' association) and brought Bregden into the marriage. Meyer's third wife was the last German owner of Bregden.

On June 11, 1874 Bregden and the rural communities was from the Gutsbezirk Rosenberg and: (Krasnoflotskoje today Russian) Steindorf (Pokrovskoe) of the District Bregden formed. In 1910 the manor district of Bregden had 219 inhabitants. On March 31, 1921, the manor districts Wangnicken (Lesnoi) and Newecken (Timirjarewo) were incorporated into the manor district of Bregden. Gabditten was incorporated on June 18, 1924.

Until 1929 Bregden was reclassified several times and finally incorporated into Rosenberg. The district of Bregden was then renamed the district of Steindorf. On October 1, 1935, Bregden was finally incorporated into the city of Heiligenbeil (Mamonowo) as part of the Rosenberg community .

Until 1945 Bregden belonged to the district of Heiligenbeil in the Prussian province of East Prussia . The village has been called Wawilowo since 1950 (the name Wawilowo occurs several times in the Russian Federation) and is now part of the Mamonowo district in Kaliningrad Oblast .
