Kornevo, Kaliningrad Oblast

Kornevo (Russian: Корнево; Polish: Cynty;[3] German: Zinten) is a rural locality in Bagrationovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, close to the border with Poland.

In 1440, the town was a founding member of the Prussian Confederation, which opposed Teutonic rule,[7] upon the request of which King Casimir IV Jagiellon incorporated the territory into the Kingdom of Poland in 1454.

[8] After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466), it became a part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Knights.

Later on, many left the town with only four families remaining in 1937, and the synagogue was sold by the community that same year.

[11] Town rights were revoked following World War II.
