Krasnolesye

Krasnolesye

Krasnolesye ( _ru. Краснолесье; _de. Rominten, Groß-Rominten, Hardteck; _pl. Rominty Wielkie; _lt. Raminta, Rominta) is a settlement in Nesterovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, situated on the Krasnaya River (Rominta) close to the border to Poland. East of Krasnolesye lies Lake Vistytis.

The village goes back to a hunting lodge which was first mentioned in a document of 1572. The village later became a colony of tar distillers. "Rominten" had already been a hunting place for Prince Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg-Prussia in 1683. The region was elevated to an Imperial Court Hunting District by German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1890. The emperor's hunting castle was built in 1891. After World War I Rominten remained a state hunting district. In 1936 a second hunting castle, called the "Reichsjägerhof", was built. The older Kaiser's lodge being too spartan to suit the creature comfort desires of Hermann Göring who used the new structure until the arrival of the Red Army in 1944. In 1938 "Groß-Rominten" was renamed "Hardteck". When East Prussia was divided between Russia and Poland after World War II, Rominten became part of the Soviet Union. In 1947, it was renamed Krasnolesye ("Red Woods").
