Wischnjowoje ( Russian Вишнёвое , German Kapkeim , Lithuanian Kapkaimis ) is a place in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad ( Koenigsberg Region (Prussia) ). It belongs to Oserkowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Oserki (Groß Lindenau) ) in Gwardeisk district ( Tapiau district ).
Geographical location
Vishnevoye is located 21 kilometers east of the city of Kaliningrad (Königsberg) and eleven kilometers southwest of Gwardeisk (Tapiau) on the Russian trunk road R 508 . In town, a country road branches off in a southerly direction to the local point of the no longer existing village of Baidukowo (Bärenbruch) . The next train station is Oserki -Nowyje on the Kaliningrad-Nesterow railway line (Königsberg-Stallupönen / Ebenrode) - part of the former Prussian Eastern Railway - for onward travel to Lithuania and the Russian heartland.
Place name
The name "Kapkeim" (Lithuanian "Kapkaimis") is derived from a man named "Kabe", and "-keim" ("kaimis") is the Prussian word for "village". So it is "the village of the Kabe".
history
The place called Kapkeim until 1946 was founded in 1388 as a Prussian village. A later owner was Christoph von Wegner, to whom Grand Master Heinrich von Richtenberg prescribed in Kapkeim Land in 1473, followed by Ambrosius von Windekaym called Perbandt. The Perbandt family was very respected in Samland and later served Duke Albrecht von Brandenburg well in high offices. In the 17th century Kapkeim was owned by Johann Friedrich von Droste (* 1678), Prussian tribunal lord and heir to the Linkehnen, Starkenberg and Kapkeim estates, married to Sophia-Charlotte von Besser (noble family) . Johann Friedrich von Droste came from an East Prussian line of the Westphalian noble family Droste zu Hülshoff .
On June 13, 1874, Kapkeim became the seat and eponymous place for a newly established administrative district in the district of Wehlau in the administrative district of Königsberg in the Prussian province of East Prussia , which existed until 1928. The rural community of Groß Liedersdorf (no longer existing today) and the Kapkeim manor district were incorporated into this administrative district. Groß Liedersdorf was transferred to the Bärenbruch manor district (Russian: Baidukowo, no longer existing) in 1905.
In the 19th century the Kapkeim estate was owned by a Heubach family, whose heir Arnold Heubach (1857–1923) was characterized by very successful land management. His son Horst Heubach, however, got into economic problems in the 1920s and had to hand over the property to a settlement company that divided the land to new settlers.
In 1910 Kapkeim had 296 inhabitants. At the beginning of the 20th century, the castle - like neo - baroque manor house with a large music hall was built . It extended over two floors and had two grand pianos and various other musical instruments, including an organ .
The manor districts of Bärenbruch and Kapkeim were incorporated into Gauleden (today Russian: Tumanowka) on September 30, 1928 and thus came to the district of Starkenberg (Russian after 1946 Krasnoborskoje, now: Krasny Bor). The Kapkeim district ceased to exist.
As a result of the war, Kapkeim with northern East Prussia was assigned to the Soviet Union in 1945 and was given the Russian name "Vishnyovoye" in 1946. In 1947 the place "changed" from the Wehlau district to the newly created Gwardeisk district ( Tapiau district ) and was incorporated into the Osjorski selski soviet (Oserki village soviet (Groß Lindenau) ). Today Vishnevoye, with its current population of 54 (as of October 14, 2010), is a “settlement” (Russian: possjolok) within the newly formed Oserkowskoje selskoje posselenije (rural community Oserki (Groß Lindenau) ).
church
The vast majority of the Kapkeimer population was of the Protestant denomination before 1945 . The place was in the parish of the church Starkenberg (Russian after 1946: Krasnoborskoje, now: Krasny Bor ). It belonged to the church district Wehlau (today Russian: Snamensk) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Vishnevoye is located in the catchment area of the newly established Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Gwardeisk (Tapiau) , a subsidiary of the Resurrection Church in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) in the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
