Location in Kaliningrad Oblast

Wetrjak ( Russian Ветряк , German Kiaunen , 1938–1945 Rodenheim ) is a settlement in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad . It belongs to the local government unit Stadtkreis Nesterov in Nesterovsky District .

The place Wetriak was identified in the Kaliningrad place directory from 1976 with the former German place Kiaunen. The Kiaunen branch has now been abandoned. The exact current location of Wetriak would have to be clarified on site. According to a current map, the place is said to be about two kilometers northwest of Dubovaya Roschtscha . It also seems conceivable that Wetriak is located at the former location of Kublischken / Steingrabenhof .

history

Kiaunen was one of 14 rural communities and agricultural estates, which the newly formed on 18 March 1874 District Tollmingkehmen (1938-1946 Toll Mingen , since 1946 Chistye Prudy) formed and was until 1945 the district Goldap in Administrative district Gumbinnen in the Prussian province of East Prussia . On December 1, 1910, the village had 167 inhabitants.

On September 30, 1928, Kiaunen expanded to include the Kublischken manor (1938-1946 Steingrabenhof ), which was incorporated into the community. In 1933 there were 184 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 174.

In the course of the National Socialist renaming campaign , Kiaunen was given the name "Rodenheim" on June 3, 1938 - with official confirmation of July 16, 1938 - and the district was renamed "Tollmingen District" in 1939. The village was incorporated into it until 1945. As a result of the Second World War , Rodenheim came under Soviet administration.

Wetriak belonged to the village soviet Tschistoprudnenski selski Sowet in Nesterow Rajon since 1975 at the latest . From 2008 to 2018 the place belonged to the rural municipality Tschistoprudnenskoje selskoe posselenije and since then to the urban district of Nesterow.

church

Kiaunen resp. Rodenheim belonged with its majority Protestant population until 1945 to the parish Tollmingkehmen (Tollmingen) , which was within the church district Goldap (now Polish: Gołdap) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Emil Moysich.

After all church life was banned during the Soviet Union , a Protestant congregation was formed again in Tschistyje Prudy in the 1990s. It is part of the newly established Kaliningrad provost in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELKER) and is looked after by the pastors of the Salzburg Church in Gussew ( Gumbinnen ).
