| Obverse description | The Lutheran church (also: town church) in the East Prussian town of Insterburg (now Russian: Tschernjachowsk) was a plastered brick choir built between 1610 and 1612. Until 1945, it was - from 1911 with the Melanchthonkirche - the main Protestant church in the `city of three rivers`. It was blown up in 1972 and demolished, its wall remaining afterwards. |
