Slavskoye, Russia
Slavskoye (russian: Сла́вское; german: Kreuzburg in Ostpreußen; pl, Krzyżbork; lt, Kryžbarkas) is a settlement in the Bagrationovsky District, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, located south of Kaliningrad. History In 1240, the Teutonic Knights founded a castle (''Creutzburg'' or ''Kreuzburg'', meaning `cross castle') in the region of Natangia at the location of an Old Prussians settlement. In 1315 Kreuzburg received its town privileges. Throughout the Hunger War in 1414, 71 houses were destroyed and five citizens were killed by the Polish troops. In 1440 the town joined the anti-Teutonic Prussian Confederation, at the request of which Polish King Casimir IV Jagiellon signed the act of incorporation of the region to the Kingdom of Poland in 1454. During the subsequent Thirteen Years' War the town suffered heavy damages, and after the war, per the peace treaty signed in Toruń in 1466, it became a part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Knights.Górski, pp. 9 ...

The latter left Silesia c. 400 and West Slavs came to the region in the 7th century (see Silesians). In the late 10th century the Silesian territory was included in the emerging Polish state by its first historic ruler Mieszko I.

Historic Jēkabpils lies on the left bank, in Selonia while historic Krustpils (german: Kreutzburg, links=no) lies on the right bank, in Latgale.

History A stone cross-castle – Cruczeborch (german: Kreutzburg) – was built in 1237 by the bishop of Rīga.
