Hello friends. In today's review, we will walk around the city - the ghost Yasnoe, which is guarded by FSB officers.
In the second half of the 14th century, in the territory of the modern village of Yasnoye, to protect ships sailing from the Curonian Lagoon up Memel / Neman to Ragnit Castle, the Knights of the Teutonic Order built a small Kaukemen / Kaukehmen castle, which was first mentioned in 1466. The name Kaukemen comes from the Kauke River, which flows into the Gilge / Matrosovka River.
For the first time, a settlement near the Kaukemen castle, in which hunters and fishermen lived, is mentioned in documents under 1532 in connection with the grant by the Duke Albrecht of a tavern in Kaukemen to no one Jacob Born. In 1549, Jacob Born received the right to own fisheries. In 1547, a priest appeared in Kaukemen, in 1549 the first wooden church was built, later rebuilt in 1576 and 1659.
February 7, 1651, the owner of the estate Kaukemen Reinhord von Halle was ordered to build a church. In 1661, Kaukemen received city status and the right to hold fairs. On November 18, 1675, the Elector of Brandenburg and the Duke of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm, bought the Reinhord von Halle estate Kaukemen for 160,000 talers.
During the invasion of Prussia by Swedish troops from Livonia in 1678-1679, Field Marshal Horne was headquartered in Kaukemen, and after the retreat of the Swedes, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I spent several days in the city. Elector Frederick Wilhelm I used the castle in Kaukemen as a hunting house. In 1693, a school was opened in Kaukemén under the church, and in 1702 the construction of the stone church building began, which ended on December 12, 1706. During the Seven Years' War in 1758, Kaukemen was occupied by the Russian troops of General Willem Fermor.
At the beginning of the XIX century, Kaukemen for some time became the administrative center of the district, the district government was located in the city, which in 1818 was transferred to Heinrichswald. In 1881-1884, instead of a wooden bell tower, the church received a brick with four bells and a tower clock.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Kaukemen was the largest settlement in Elchneiderung County. In 1904-1905, a narrow-gauge railway, disassembled after the end of World War II, passed through Kaukomen from Istanbul in Karkeln. In 1905, a gas plant was built in the city. After the end of World War I, electricity appeared in the city, by 1924 95% of houses and estates in the district were electrified. At the beginning of the 1930s, there were 16 grocery stores, 6 manufactory shops, 7 bakery shops, 7 butcher shops, 4 shoe shops and 9 shoe shops, 3 perfumery and haberdashery and drugstore shops, 6 carpentry shops, 2 tin manufactures in the early 1930s. 3 construction contractors, 2 glass workshops, 5 artists and upholsterers, 3 forges, 2 carriages, 1 cooper production, 8 tailors, 3 master saddlers, 6 hairdressers, 4 printing houses, 5 bookbinding workshops; there were branches of several banks, customs, a court, a mill, a dairy, 2 hotels, 3 cafes and 13 small hotels.
In the 1930s, a cinema with 600 seats was opened on Tilsiter Strasse. In 1938, Kaukemen was renamed Kukernese / Kuckerneese.
October 12, 1944, in connection with the approach of the Red Army, the regional leadership of the NSDAP signed an order to evacuate the civilian population. Residents were taken to Heiligenbajl district and further sent by rail to Saxony.
October 15, 1944 the city of Kukerneeze was subjected to shelling. The first shell hit a monument located near the church to German soldiers who fell in the First World War.
On January 20, 1945, Kukerneeze was occupied by the soldiers of the 149th and 171st rifle regiments of the 182nd rifle division of Colonel M.V. Fedorov of the 90th rifle corps of the 43rd Army.
In 1946, Kukernese was renamed the village of Yasnoye, while losing the status of the city. In September 1946, a concentration camp No. 10 for German prisoners of war was organized in Yasnoye, which contained about 300 people.
