history
The former church village, once called Popelken , became an official village on April 9, 1874, giving its name to a newly established administrative district in the Labiau district in the Königsberg administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia . In 1910 there were 1,193 inhabitants registered in Popelken. Their number rose to 1,250 by 1933 and was still 1,221 in 1939. On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Popelken was renamed “Markthausen” for ideological reasons to remove foreign-sounding place names, and the district name was also changed to “Markthausen District”.
As a result of the war, the place came to the Soviet Union in 1945 with the northern part of East Prussia and in 1947 received the Russian name "Vysokoye". At the same time the place became the seat of a village soviet. Between 1947 and 1963 the place was assigned to the Bolshakovo Raion , until it then moved to the Slavsk Raion . From 2008 to 2015 Vysokoye belonged to the rural municipality Bolshakovskoye selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Slavsk.
Popelken / Markthausen district (1874–1945)
On April 9, 1875, Popelken became the seat of an administrative district of the same name, which was renamed “Markthausen District” on August 25, 1938 and belonged to the Labiau district until 1945 . Initially six municipalities were incorporated, in the end there were four:

church
Church building
Of the former Protestant parish church in Popelken, only a ruined tower with remains of the western outer walls of the nave remains today. The church was built in 1768/69 as a successor to a church from 1640. The church was a plastered rectangular brick building with a pulpit altar from the 19th century and a baptismal angel from 1720. Due to external use as a hall for drying grain and lack of maintenance , the building, which remained undamaged in World War II, is becoming increasingly dilapidated.
Parish
The Popelken evangelical parish was founded in 1626. Right from the start there was a pastor's post, which was increased by a second in 1900. Until 1945 a total of 47 villages belonged to the parish of the Popelken Church . In 1925 the parish had 6,800 parishioners. It was assigned to the church district Labiau in the church province of East Prussia, the church of the Old Prussian Union .
Today Vysokoye is located in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Bolshakowo (Groß Skaisgirren , 1938 to 1946 Kreuzingen) , a subsidiary congregation in the church region of the Salzburg church in Gussew (Gumbinnen) in the provostry Kaliningrad (Königsberg) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church European Russia .
school
School lessons were given in Popelken as early as the 17th century. Between 1677 and 1683 a teacher Stefan Schwarz is on record. Even before the First World War , the elementary school in Popelken was four-class and was attended by school children from Uszkampen / Uschkampen (Kleinmarkthausen), Mehlawischken (Liebenort) and Mehlathal (Liebenhof). A preparation institute was housed here until 1901 . In 1927 a new school building was built.
