In the north and west, it also included the northeastern and eastern part of the former county Tilsit - Ragnit ( within the limits 1922-1939 ) and in the extreme southeast of a small part of the former circle Stallupönen ( 1938-1945 "circle Ebenrode "; area around the Sodargen village, later russian Tretjakowo ). For this was the southwest corner of the circle Pillkallen the place Mallwischken ( Mallwen ), from 1947 Russian Maiskoje now for Rajon Gusev.

In the battles at the end of the Second World War, the eastern part of the circle Pillkallen with the small town Schirwindt, 1947 Russian Kutusowo was, however, been completely devastated and was henceforth used for military purposes. Also, the county seat Pillkallen ( 1938-1945 " Schlossberg " ), from 1947 Russian Dobrowolsk, had been greatly destroyed. Therefore, the Rajonverwaltung was set up in the riverside Szeszuppe place Lasdehnen ( 1938-1945 " Costanosellari ").
