Europa-Russland-Russland Gebiete-Uschakowo ( Kaliningrad)

The village of Ushakovo is located on the Vistula Lagoon in the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia, in former East Prussia. For the Teutonic Order, Margrave Otto III of Brandenburg built a castle at the mouth of the Frisching in 1266 to monitor the entrance of ships to Königsberg. From 1283 to 1499 it was the seat of a commander. Burned out in 1520, after its restoration it was the seat of a magistrate from 1525 to 1752. In the protection of the castle had developed a Lischke, which received the Handfeste in 1513. From 1818 Brandenburg belonged to the Heiligenbeil district in the Königsberg administrative district of the province of East Prussia. After the occupation by the Red Army in 1945, the village fell to the Soviet Union and was renamed Ushakovo in 1947 after a buried Soviet soldier named Ushakov.
