Ozyorsk (Russian: Озёрск), known prior to 1938 by its German name Darkehmen (Lithuanian: Darkiemis; Polish: Darkiejmy), and from 1938 to 1946 as Angerapp, is a town and the administrative center of Ozyorsky District in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Angrapa River near the border with the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 120 kilometers (75 mi) southeast of Kaliningrad, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 4,740 (2010 Census);5,801 (2002 Census);6,219 (1989 Census).
It was founded in 1724.
Before 1945 the town was part of Germany (East Prussia). It was captured by Red Army on 22 January 1945. After World War II and the subsequent border shift, the region was placed under Soviet administration and the native German populace was expelled. It was renamed as Ozyorsk in 7 September 1946.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Ozyorsk serves as the administrative center of Ozyorsky District. As an administrative division, it is, together with one rural locality (the settlement of Ushakovo), incorporated within Ozyorsky District as the town of district significance of Ozyorsk.
