Krasnoznamensk ((ロシア語:Краснозна́менск)), prior to 1938 known by its German name ''ドイツ語:Lasdehnen'' and in 1938-1946 as ''ドイツ語:Haselberg'' ((リトアニア語:Lazdynai)) is a town and the administrative center of Krasnoznamensky District in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Sheshupe River, northeast of Kaliningrad, the administrative center of the oblast, and approximately to the south of the border with Lithuania. Population: After 1701 and until the unification of Germany, the town was politically in Prussia and remained a part of Germany from 1871 until 1945. Lithuanian influence is also a long-standing feature of the town. ==History== The earliest surviving German-language record of the place dates from 1521 under the name Haselpusch (lit. ''hazel bush''), while Russian sources give the date of the earliest record as 1576. Other sources state that it was established in 1734. In the early 18th century, the name changed to Lasdehnen, based on the Old Prussian/Lithuanian word for hazel bushes. The village had a church by 1578 but it burned down in 1661 and the replacement building had to be taken down in 1869 due to severe structural defects. The current Gothic Revival church was built between 1874 and 1877. With nationalism still in the ascendancy across most of Europe, the German Nazi government Germanized the Old Prussian name of Lasdehnen to Hasselberg (lit. ''hazel mountain'') in 1938. By 1945, the regional capital of Schloßberg (usually remembered in Germany by its pre-1938 name "Pillkallen") had been destroyed during the course of World War II and Haselberg took over Pillikallen's former administrative functions. The ethnic German population had largely fled before the advance of the Red Army in 1945, and after the end of World War II, the territory was annexed by the Soviet Union. The Soviets renamed the town Krasnoznamensk (lit. ''Red Banner Town'') in 1946.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Krasnoznamensk, Kaliningrad Oblast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
