history

Until 1945

Vishnevoye / Medukallen (Honigberg)

The small village of Meduckallen was founded before 1679. In 1874 it was in the newly established District Grünheide (Russian Today: Kaluschskoje) incorporated, which until 1945 the district Insterburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. In 1910, 148 inhabitants were registered in Medukallen (occasionally with the addition " Parish Grünheide " to distinguish a place of the same name in the nearby parish of Pelleningken ). In 1933 their number was only 128 and in 1939 only 113. On June 3, 1938 (with official confirmation of July 16, 1938) Medukallen was renamed "Honigberg". As a result of the Second World War , Medukallen came to the Soviet Union with northern East Prussia .

Wischnjowoje / Dejehnen (stretching)

Before 1945, the village of Dejehnen only consisted of a central courtyard, 27 km south of the city of Sovetsk (Tilsit) . In 1874, the village came to the district of Anstippen (1938-1945 "district of Ansten", Russian: Antipino, the place no longer exists), which until 1922 to the district of Ragnit (today Russian: Neman ), then to the district of Tilsit-Ragnit in the administrative district Gumbinnen belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 24 inhabitants in Dejehnen.

On July 1, 1929, Dejehnen was incorporated into the rural community of Paballen (1938–1946: Werfen, now also in Russian: Wischnjowoje) and on June 3, 1938, it was renamed "Dehnen". As a result of the war, this place was also assigned to the Soviet Union in 1945 .

Vishnevoye / Paballen (Throwing)

The small former estate of Paballen was once called Noyen . When the district of Anstippen (1938–1945 "District of Ansten", Russian: Antipino, the place no longer exists) was established in 1874, this village was also included and belonged to the district of Ragnit until 1922 , then to the district of Tilsit-Ragnit in the administrative district Gumbinnen of the Province of East Prussia . Paballen became a station on the Insterburg – Tilsit – Memel line and in 1910 had 105 inhabitants. On July 1, 1929, the neighboring Dejehnen (1938-1946 Dehnen , Russian also: Wischnjowoje) was incorporated. The population totaled 141 in 1933 and 108 in 1939. June 3, 1938 was also the renaming date for Paballen, as the place was then called “Werfen (East Prussia)”. In 1945 this village also experienced the fate of all places in northern East Prussia and was placed under the administration of the Soviet Union .

Wischnjowoje / Uszelxnen (Erlenbruch)

Before 1945, the place called Rudlaucken before 1934 consisted of a few scattered smaller and larger courtyards. Between 1874 and 1945 the village was incorporated into the district of Anstippen (1938–1945 "district of Ansten", Russian: Antipino, the place no longer exists today) and belonged to the district of Ragnit until 1922 , then to the district of Tilsit-Ragnit in the administrative district of Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia . The population of Uszelxnen was 114 in 1910. In 1933 107 and in 1939 90 people lived here. On June 3, 1938 the place, which had meanwhile been written as “Uschelxnen”, succumbed to a renaming and was called “Erlenbruch” from now on. Its location in northern East Prussia also allowed this village to come under the sovereignty of the Soviet Union in 1945 .

Since 1945

The four places Medukallen (Honigberg), Dejehnen (stretching), Paballen (Werfen) and Uszelxnen / Uschelxnen (Erlenbruch) were given the common Russian name "Wischnjowoje" in 1947. At the same time Vishnevoye was incorporated into the Kaluschski selski Sowet in the Chernyakhovsk district. From 2008 to 2015 the place belonged to the rural municipality Kalushskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Chernyakhovsk.

church

Before 1945, the population of all four villages was almost without exception Protestant . While Medukallen (Honigberg) belonged to Grünheide (Kaluschskoje) church in the parish of Insterburg , Dejehnen (Dehnen), Paballen (Werfen) and Uszelxnen (Erlenbruch) were parish in the parish of Szillen (Schilino) church in Tilsit-Ragnit parish. Both church districts belonged to the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe in 1945–1950 brought church life to a standstill. In the 1990s, new Evangelical Lutheran congregations formed in the Kaliningrad Oblast, of which those in Sabrodino (Lesgewangminnen , 1938–1946 Lesgewangen) in the church region of Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) and Shtschegly (Saugwethen , 1938–1946, Saugehnen) in the church region of Chernyakhovsk (Insterburg) are closest. Both are assigned to the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
