Guryevsk, Administrative center in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia

The town extends across a plain area at 20 meters elevation, situated 7 kilometers northeast from the regional capital of Kaliningrad.

Founded in 1262 as Neuhausen by Teutonic Knights after capturing the Sambian stronghold of Vurgvala, the settlement underwent multiple territorial changes through centuries.

The town experienced a complete demographic transformation after 1945 when the German population left and Russian-speaking residents established new communities.

The municipal administration serves a population of 19,670 residents and coordinates services across seven rural districts within the Guryevsky Urban Okrug.

The settlement changed its name to Guryevsk to honor Soviet Marshal Stepan Guryev, marking a departure from its Germanic heritage as Neuhausen.

Location: Guryevsky District

Inception: 1262
