Iron Man, también conocido como Iron Man: La serie animada, es una serie de televisión animada estadounidense basada en el superhéroe Iron Man de Marvel Comics. La serie se emitió de 1994 a 1996 en sindicación como parte de The Marvel Action Hour, que incluía a Iron Man con otra serie animada basada en las propiedades de Marvel, los Cuatro Fantásticos, con un episodio de media hora de cada serie que se transmite en forma consecutiva. El espectáculo estaba respaldado por una línea de juguetes que presentaba muchas variantes de armadura.

Esta serie de Iron Man fue una de las pocas series de televisión que se regrabaron en THX. Esto puede haber sido habitual en el momento de una película, pero es raro en una serie de televisión. Poco después del lanzamiento de la película de acción en vivo Iron Man en 2008, las repeticiones comenzaron a transmitirse en el bloque Jetix en Toon Disney. Además, los 26 episodios están actualmente disponibles para transmisión a través de LoveFilm.

Primera Temporada

En sus esfuerzos por robar la tecnología de Stark y la armadura de Iron Man, el Mandarín dirigió a un grupo de villanos formado por Dreadknight, Blizzard, Blacklash, Grey Gargoyle (cuando se trata de luchar contra Iron Man y su equipo, tiene la tendencia de convertir accidentalmente su villanos a la piedra), Hypnotia (un villano exclusivo de quien Dreadknight y Blacklash eran rivales por los afectos de), Whirlwind, Living Laser, MODOK, Fin Fang Foom y Justin Hammer. Para combatir a estos villanos, Iron Man contó con la ayuda de su propio equipo (basado en Force Works, un equipo de cómics en ese momento que desde entonces se ha desvanecido en la oscuridad), incluido Century, War Machine, Bruja Escarlata, Hawkeye (que reemplaza a un agente de EE. UU) y la Mujer araña.

La temporada consistió principalmente en aventuras de caso abierto de un solo episodio, con dos historias de dos partes hacia el final. A diferencia de muchas otras series animadas de Marvel, a pesar de presentar títulos exagerados que rindieron homenaje a los cómics de Marvel escritos por Stan Lee en la década de 1960, casi ninguno de los episodios fueron adaptaciones de historias de cómics, que consisten en lugar de historias originales escritas por Ron Friedman, colaboradas ocasionalmente por el mismo Stan Lee. Lo más cerca que llegó la temporada de adaptar un cuento de cómics fue en "El origen del hombre de hierro", que contó una versión (modificada y modernizada) del origen del cómic del personaje justo antes de que concluyera la temporada.

Una pequeña trama secundaria en la primera temporada gira en torno al mandarín que espía en secreto a Force Works. Culmina en "La boda de Iron Man" cuando Stark se da cuenta de que han sido espiados al revisar los eventos de episodios anteriores (y explica cómo las fuerzas de Mandarin siempre sabían dónde estarían), al darse cuenta de que Mandarin ha adquirido suficiente información para potencialmente deducir la verdad. Identidad del hombre de hierro. La trama del episodio completo está dedicada a resolver el problema, culminando en Iron Man y su equipo estableciendo un engaño elaborado donde Mandarin ve a Iron Man y Tony Stark en el mismo lugar con la intención de convencerlo de que los dos hombres no son lo mismo.

Segunda Temporada

En 1995, Marvel cambió The Marvel Action Hour por un nuevo estudio de animación (como se mencionó anteriormente, la animación en la Temporada 1 fue proporcionada por el Grupo de Animación Rainbow, mientras que la animación en la Temporada 2 fue proporcionada por Koko Enterprises), y con esto llegó nueva. Los escritores (Ron Friedman fue reemplazado por Tom Tataranowicz para la temporada 2) y la nueva música para cada secuencia, junto con una nueva dirección para la serie. La música del tema del teclado sutil de la primera temporada para Iron Man (compuesta por el artista de rock progresivo Keith Emerson) fue reemplazada en la segunda temporada por un intenso tema de guitarra eléctrica (compuesto por William Kevin Anderson), con la repetición de "I am Iron Man! ", mientras mostraba a Tony Stark batiendo placas de hierro al rojo vivo en forma con un martillo de herrero. El peinado más largo de Tony Stark en la segunda temporada se basó en la descripción del artista Mark Bright de Stark desde finales de los 80, que es donde se basaron la mayoría de los episodios de la Temporada 2.

Las nuevas líneas de la historia abarcaron múltiples episodios y ya no eran casos "abiertos y cerrados". Formaron una narrativa de enlace, con temas de duplicidad, consecuencias y fobias. Además, las historias ya no estaban centradas en el Mandarín, cuyos anillos se habían dispersado y su poder se había agotado. Mientras que el mandarín apareció en estos episodios, sus apariciones se redujeron a cameos al final de la historia, mientras trataba de recuperar cada anillo.

Otro cambio fue que Force Works fue escrito en su mayor parte fuera de la serie, separándose de Stark después de que los engañó para trabajar en secreto con el Mandarín cuando Fin Fang Foom y sus compañeros Dragones estaban conspirando para eliminar la Tierra. Cuando el plan contrario de Stark contra Justin Hammer, que incluye fingir su muerte sin el conocimiento de sus compañeros de equipo, conduce a una disolución de Force Works, Julia Carpenter y James Rhodes son los únicos que continúan trabajando con Stark. Esta división se revisaría con los conflictos subsiguientes de Stark con Hawkeye a lo largo de varios episodios.

Además, War Machine desarrolla una fobia de quedar atrapado dentro de su armadura (también se basa en una trama cómica actual), pero esto se resuelve antes del episodio final. Mientras Rhodes estaba activo como War Machine en la Temporada 1, permaneció sin armadura durante la mayor parte de la Temporada 2 debido a que revivió una experiencia trágica de ahogamiento mientras estaba atrapado bajo el agua en la armadura de War Machine en el episodio de la Temporada 2 "Fire And Rain". Rhodes finalmente supera su miedo y se vuelve a llevar la armadura de la Máquina de Guerra en el episodio "Distant Boundaries".

Antes de encontrar sus últimos dos anillos, el Mandarín reclama su octavo anillo de MODOK en el episodio "Empowered". "Empowered" fue el clip show de la temporada, con el propósito de que el Mandarín quería conocer las actividades recientes de Iron Man. En la final, el mandarín, después de haber recuperado todos sus anillos, desata una neblina que usa el Corazón de la Oscuridad para hacer que todo lo tecnológico sea inútil. Iron Man se reúne con Force Works para detenerlo. El Mandarín desenmascara a Iron Man antes de que su enfrentamiento final termine en su muerte. Más específicamente, Iron Man logra reflejar el poder de los anillos de Mandarín, destruyéndolos y, finalmente, dejando al Mandarín con amnesia e indefenso ante una banda de bandidos del desierto que probablemente lo mataron, o al menos le cortaron la mano / los dedos por los anillos. Después de que mataron a Mandarín, MODOK y el resto de los secuaces de Mandarin fueron enviados a la cárcel.

Después de valoraciones decepcionantes, la serie fue cancelada.

Crossovers
Dorian Harewood retoma su papel de War Machine de la serie animada de Iron Man en el episodio "Helping Hand, Iron Fist". Originalmente, le impide a Rick Jones ver a Tony Stark (expresado por Robert Hays, quien también estaba retomando su papel de Iron Man) en Industrias Stark, pero lo lleva a Stark después de que Jones le explicó que necesitaba la ayuda de Stark para encontrar a Bruce Banner. Más tarde, alerta a Stark de la llegada del general Ross, S.H.I.E.L.D. el agente Gabriel Jones, y un escuadrón de Hulkbusters. War Machine lucha contra algunos de los Hulkbusters junto a Jones y Iron Man.

Una versión diferente de Iron Man fue expresada una vez más por Robert Hays y una versión diferente de War Machine fue expresada por James Avery (repitiendo sus partes de la serie animada de Iron Man en el mismo período en el momento en que Dorian Harewood estaba expresando Tombstone) en Spider-Man: La serie animada. Aparecieron por primera vez en los episodios "Venom Returns" y "Carnage" en los que Dormammu le ordena a Venom que robe el Acelerador de dilatación del tiempo de Industrias Stark, que es capaz de liberar a Dormammu de su propia dimensión remota. Venom es rápidamente derrotado por Spider-Man y War Machine. Sin embargo, Venom recibe ayuda de Cletus Kasady, su compañero de celda que se ha vinculado con otro simbionte, Carnage. Después de que los simbiotes robaron la máquina, War Machine está demasiado herido para seguir luchando, por lo que Iron Man se une a Spider-Man, detiene a los simbiotes y evita que Dormammu abandone su dimensión. Iron Man también hace un cameo en el episodio llamado "The Spot", en el que Tony Stark despide al Dr. Jonathon Ohn del proyecto Time Dilation Accelerator porque Stark sabe que el proyecto es peligroso después de que Carnage casi lanzara a la Tierra a Dormammu usando la maquinaria Accelerator. Iron Man más tarde Aparece en el episodio de tres partes Secret Wars en el que Beyonder crea una guerra entre el bien y el mal para ver quién es mejor. Al final, los héroes ganan y todos, excepto Spider-Man, que tiene que detener al malvado Spider-Carnage. De destruir toda la realidad en la siguiente serie final, se envía de regreso a la Tierra sin ningún tipo de memoria.

Comparación con los cómics

Como se describió anteriormente, la primera temporada de la serie basa muy pocas de sus historias en los cómics, aparte de su recuento del origen de Iron Man. Al modernizar la historia del origen del personaje, Tony Stark no se lesiona en una zona de guerra vietnamita, sino en un acto de sabotaje industrial tramado por Justin Hammer (quien también orquestó la muerte del padre de Tony, que luego se reveló como un encubrimiento por SHIELD en "No lejos del árbol") y el Mandarín. Heridos, no por un trozo de metralla cerca de su corazón, sino por astillas cerca de su columna vertebral, Stark y Ho Yinsen (cuyo nombre se cambia a Wellington) fueron mantenidos cautivos por el Mandarín, en lugar de Wong-Chu. Yinsen trabaja con Arnold Brock antes de que Arnold se convierta en el mandarín. El Mandarín luego captura a Wellington Yinsen para usarlo para ayudar a Tony Stark a construir una armadura invencible para sus minions. Cuando Tony Stark se convierte en Iron Man por primera vez, logra escapar, pero Yinsen es asesinado por el mandarín.

El propio mandarín estaba sujeto a grandes modificaciones, alterado por sus anillos en mayor medida que en los cómics. Obtuvo una piel verde (un destino que le sucedió a otros villanos asiáticos en la animación de la época, como el Doctor No en James Bond Jr. y Ming el Despiadado en Defensores de la Tierra) y una musculatura mejorada, pero el espectáculo mantuvo la conexión entre Su origen y el fin Fang Foom. Como se mencionó anteriormente, el Mandarín una vez fue conocido como Arnold Brock, un arqueólogo que cae en una antigua catacumba que contiene una nave espacial alienígena (que, como se mencionó anteriormente, pertenece a la encarnación de esta serie de Fin Fang Foom, con quien Mandarín forjó una alianza incómoda) huyendo de los bandidos del desierto. En esta catacumba, encuentra una gran gema que es la fuente de energía de la nave con diez gemas debajo de ella. Desafortunadamente, los bandidos matan a todos los demás, incluida su novia Ilona. Todos los asaltantes que se quedan son los anillos de su novia con las joyas que les arrancaron. El mandarín usa estos como la configuración de las diez gemas que hizo en sus anillos. El mandarín de esta continuidad fue alterado por el poder de la fuente de poder de la nave cuando la tocó; desarrolló orejas puntiagudas, uñas como garras y musculatura mejorada. Su piel se volvió verde esmeralda, y se volvió muy inteligente. Las versiones de dibujos animados de los anillos eran mucho más ambiguas, sin ningún poder particular asociado con ningún anillo; con mayor frecuencia, se usaban para proyectar explosiones de fuerza, alterar la realidad y transmutar objetos. El undécimo episodio de la temporada 2, "Hulkbuster" revelaría las habilidades específicas de dos de los anillos:

 Uno permite crear ventanas a través del tiempo y el espacio.

 El otro permite viajar por las ventanas.

Como se mencionó anteriormente, Fin Fang Foom se muestra como un aliado del mandarín, pero en la apertura de la segunda temporada, se reveló que esta fue una estratagema para ganarse la confianza de Mandarín, y luego lo traicionó cuando sus hermanos Dragón recuperaron sus formas monstruosas. e hicieron un núcleo desde su nave estelar que abrirá un portal a su mundo y permitirá que su especie invada la tierra. Supuestamente lo matan en la explosión que dispersa los anillos de Mandarín en todo el mundo. Aparte de estas historias de origen, el único episodio que se dibujó en un cómic de alguna manera fue "¡Alégrate! Soy Ultimo, Thy Deliverer", que presentó a Ultimo, el sirviente robótico del mandarín de la década de 1960, pero mostró su apariencia y origen extranjero. desde los años noventa.

Los minions de Mandarín (con la excepción del personaje original, Hypnotia) eran todos operadores solitarios en los cómics, el hombre de negocios Justin Hammer, que era un autor intelectual del crimen, en lugar de un villano que serviría a otro. Un MODOK mucho más pequeño aparece como un científico que buscó curar la mente criminal. Su jefe, Red Ghost, aumentó su mente en 100 veces. Pronto se enamoró y se casó con la famosa bailarina de ballet Alana Ulanova (con la voz de Sarah Douglas), quien más tarde se convirtió en modelo de traje de baño. The Red Ghost tenía envidia de su relación con su nueva esposa y lo convirtió en MODOK. Sirvió como el segundo al mando del Mandarín para poder convertirlo de nuevo en humano. Sin embargo, en la segunda temporada, el personaje de MODOK se convirtió en poco más que un alivio cómico, con su historia original olvidada (Cuando se le preguntó por qué servía al mandarín después de todos los abusos que le había quitado, MODOK contestó a gritos "Me hace reír", lo cual Puede ser una referencia a Jessica Rabbit). Después de que Mandarín fue derrotado en el final de la temporada, MODOK (junto con los secuaces de Mandarín) fue enviado a la cárcel.

Force Works, por otro lado, se retiró directamente de los cómics, pero sus roles civiles reales (una escena en el episodio "Data In - Chaos Out" sin embargo, le da a Century una identidad civil como un hombre llamado Woody, sombras deportivas y un sombrero de ala ancha) nunca se definieron en la caricatura, a excepción de Spider-Woman, quien fue refundida como vicepresidenta de investigación y desarrollo para Industrias Stark. Notablemente, la Bruja Escarlata de la caricatura no le debe casi nada al personaje del cómic: aquí, ella es una mística, espiritualista de lectura de tarot identificada en los créditos finales como "Wanda Frank" (un alias de ella en los cómics, en el que su verdadera el nombre es "Wanda Maximoff"), que habla con un acento grueso de Europa del Este (o según el subtitulado, alemán) y se refiere a otros personajes como "calabaza" y "magdalena". Su poder se identifica como un "sentido hexadecimal", pero lo que eso significa nunca se explica, y parece que le permite hacer cualquier cosa, desde el cambio de forma a la manipulación de la materia.

En una subparcela diseñada exclusivamente para la caricatura, Spider-Woman y la Bruja Escarlata compiten por los afectos de Iron Man. En la primera temporada, Stark no parece corresponder a los sentimientos de ninguna de las dos mujeres, pero en la segunda temporada se hace evidente que guarda algunos sentimientos por Julia, solo que su actitud de "lobo solitario" complica sus posibilidades de una relación. Además, Julia Carpenter eventualmente se casó con Tony Stark. Sin embargo, esto resulta ser simplemente una estratagema de Tony para sacar al mandarín y convencerlo de que no es Iron Man. Mientras Tony estaba en la boda, alguien más tomó el traje de Iron Man y atacó a Mandarín. Esto convenció a Mandarín de que Tony Stark no era Iron Man.

Mientras tanto, Rachel Carpenter (la hija de Spider-Woman) también aparece en la serie, aunque es más vieja que su encarnación de cómics y con una actitud más "rebelde". En "Silence My Companion, Death My Destination", se la muestra como una amante de la música de baile, y de las arcadas, desdeñosos compositores clásicos (específicamente Van Cliburn), pero después de que un pedazo de Rachmaninov interpretado por Cliburn en un casete que Rachel le dio a ella, se las arregla para recargarse. La armadura de Iron Man (como se mencionó anteriormente), cambia su estado de ánimo y comienza a apreciar.

Lovačka čeka grofa Stjepana Erdodyja (Jastrebarsko), građevina u mjestu i gradu Jastrebarsko, zaštićeno kulturno dobro.

Opis
Lovačka čeka grofa Stjepana Erdődyja nalazi se usred ograđenog voćnjaka u sjeverozapadnom dijelu Jastrebarskog. Pretpostavlja se da je sagrađena oko 1892. godine na mjestu prethodno uništene hrastove duplje koja je služila istoj svrsi. Perimetralni zidovi izvedeni su od armiranog betona u koji su mjestimično ugrađeni fragmenti opeke i lokalnoga kamena. Rustikalno oblikovana vanjština oponaša strukturu kore hrastovog debla koje ima isječenu krošnju te je djelomično obraslo naturalistički izvedenim žilama bršljana. Za razliku od grubo oblikovanog eksterijera, unutrašnji zidovi čeke izvedeni su u betonu finije granulacije. Nepravilno oblikovani otvori na vanjštini simuliraju rupe probijene u deblu. U svrhu zaštite od atmosferilija, ti su otvori sa svoje unutarnje strane imali djelomično sačuvane pravokutne drvene okvire sa staklenom ispunom. Lovačka čeka sačuvana je u izvornom stanju te predstavlja jednu od najranijih te rijetko sačuvanih građevina takve vrste u Hrvatskoj i izvan njezinih granica zbog čega ima kulturno-povijesnu, arhitektonsku i ambijentalnu vrijednost.

Zaštita
Pod oznakom Z-xxxx zaveden je kao nepokretno kulturno dobro - pojedinačno, pravna statusa zaštićena kulturnog dobra, klasificirano kao "sakralna graditeljska baština".

Wernher von Braun – Ich greife nach den Sternen ist ein deutsch-US-amerikanischer Spielfilm aus dem Jahre 1960, der das Leben des deutschen Raketenforschers Wernher von Braun behandelt. In der Titelrolle ist Curd Jürgens zu sehen.

Handlung
Im Stil einer klassischen Filmbiografie (Biopic) werden die beruflichen und privaten Stationen Wernher von Brauns nacherzählt. Dabei wird besonders sein hinhaltender Widerstand gegenüber der SS und der NS-Rüstungspolitik herausgestellt und seine Rolle im Dritten Reich als die eines unpolitischen Mitläufers verklärt; dabei wird verschwiegen, dass er Mitglied der NSDAP und der Reiter-SS war und sogar den Rang eines SS-Sturmbannführers erhalten hatte. Der zweite Teil des Films schildert von Brauns Neubeginn in den Vereinigten Staaten und seine maßgebliche Beteiligung an der Entstehung der NASA und der Erforschung des Weltraums.

Produktionsnotizen
Der Regisseur J. Lee Thompson gestand in einem Fernsehinterview, dass er selbst mit dem filmischen Ergebnis bezüglich der Verklärung von von Brauns Rolle im Dritten Reich unzufrieden gewesen sei, doch die Produzenten hätten diese Tendenz gewünscht.

Der Film erlebte seine Welturaufführung am 19. August 1960 im Mathäser-Filmpalast in München. Genau zwei Monate später lief er auch in den USA an. Manchmal wird die Produktion auch unter den Kurztiteln Wernher von Braun, Ich greife nach den Sternen und Der Mann, der nach den Sternen griff geführt.

Die Filmbauten entwarf Hans Berthel; für den Ton zeichnete Walter Rühland verantwortlich. Der österreichische Emigrant George Froeschel hatte an der Storyvorlage mitgearbeitet.

Kritik
Der Spiegel verriss das Werk 1960:

Die Zeit zu diesem Film am 26. August 1960:

Das Lexikon des Internationalen Films nannte den Film eine "Filmbiografie, die die Problematik des Gewissens und der Verantwortung gegenüber der entbundenen Macht nicht befriedigend erklären kann".

Der Movie & Video Guide sah in dem Film "eine wenig überzeugende fiktive Geschichte".

Halliwell's Film Guide schrieb: "heikler biografischer Film über einen umstrittenen Wissenschaftler, der die Seiten wechselte".

Die Kritik der DDR stellte vor allem die NS-Rolle von Brauns propagandistisch heraus und betonte das Engagement des Raketenforschers in der US-Rüstung. Dort heißt es: "Wie weit sich das zweckpolitische Engagement beim Film im Rahmen der 'Nordatlantischen Partnerschaft' bewegt, macht die Weltpremiere des Columbia-Films 'I aim the Stars' ('Ich greife nach den Sternen') am 19. August 1960 in München mehr als deutlich. Der Film rehabilitiert und glorifiziert den V-2-Wunderwaffenexperten, Kriegsverbrecher, Ritter- und Bundesverdienstkreuzträger Wernher von Braun […] in einem Breitwandbilderbogen und sollte die amerikanische Raketenstärke im Zeitalter der sowjetische Raumschiffe mühsam glaubhaft machen."

Count George Pavlovich Ignatieff,  (; December 16, 1913 – August 10, 1989) was a Canadian diplomat. His career spanned nearly five decades in World War II and the postwar period.

Early life and education
Count Ignatieff was born in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, the youngest of five sons, to a distinguished Russian noble family. His mother was Princess Natalia Nikolayevna Meshcherskaya and his father was Count Pavel Ignatiev, a close advisor to Tsar Nicholas II serving as his last Minister of Education. In 1918, the year after the Russian Revolution, Count Ignatieff was imprisoned, but his release was negotiated by sympathetic supporters.  The family fled to France, and later moved to Canada. George Ignatieff was educated at St Paul's School, London, Lower Canada College, and the University of Trinity College, University of Toronto, before being awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford.

Wartime service and postwar diplomacy
With the advent of war, Ignatieff joined the Royal Artillery, where he worked in photographic intelligence. In 1940 he joined the Canadian Department of External Affairs.  He became personal assistant to the Canadian High Commissioner in London, Vincent Massey, and during his London posting began a friendship with Lester Pearson, later Prime Minister of Canada.  Ignatieff also served as the wartime Canadian delegate to the International Red Cross.

Ignatieff was a key figure in Canadian diplomacy and international relations through the postwar period.  He was Ambassador to Yugoslavia (1956–1958), permanent representative to NATO (1963–1966), Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations (1966–1969) and president of the United Nations Security Council (1968–1969). In 1984 Ignatieff was appointed Ambassador for Disarmament by Prime Minister John Turner.

Ignatieff was unimpressed by the foreign policy of the Trudeau governments of the 1970s and 1980s, and was unafraid to provoke government functionaries.  He advocated cautious realignment of Canadian defence policy, and a complete nuclear test ban.  Like his mentor Pearson, Ignatieff believed in the interdependence of nations, and had an acute prescience for the impending threats of terror, economic breakdown, and environmental degradation.

Ignatieff served as Provost of the University of Trinity College from 1972 to 1979, and later as chancellor of the University of Toronto from 1980 to 1986. The University of Trinity College's theatre is named after Ignatieff, and is fondly known as the GIT (pronounced 'jit').

George Ignatieff has been described as the "best Governor General (Canada) never had".    His autobiography, The Making of a Peacemonger, was published in 1985 by the University of Toronto Press.

Personal life

Ignatieff married Alison Grant (the granddaughter of George Monro Grant and niece of Vincent Massey) in 1944, and had two sons. The elder, Michael Ignatieff, was Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and Leader of the Official Opposition from 2008 to 2011. Andrew Ignatieff was a community worker and assisted in his brother's leadership campaign.

Awards and honorary degrees

Ignatieff was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1973.  He received the Pearson Medal of Peace for his work in international service in 1984.  He received eight Honorary Degrees from Canadian universities.

  Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario  (LL.D)  on May 27, 1969
 University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (LL.D) on May 18, 1973
  York University in Toronto, Ontario  (LL.D) Fall 1975
  Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick  (LL.D) in 1978
  University of Victoria  in Victoria, British Columbia (LL.D) in June 1984

Krasnolesye (; ; ; ) is a settlement in Nesterovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, situated on the Krasnaya River (Rominta) close to the border with Poland, in the north of the Romincka Forest. East of Krasnolesye lies Lake Vistytis.

The village goes back to a hunting lodge which was first mentioned in a document of 1572. The village later became a colony of tar distillers. Rominten had already been a hunting place for Prince Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg-Prussia in 1683. The region was elevated to an Imperial Court Hunting District by German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1890. The emperor's Rominten Hunting Lodge was built in 1891. After World War I Rominten remained a state hunting district, while the Lodge remained Wilhelm's private property.

In September 1933 Wilhelm refused to allow Hermann Göring to stay in the lodge, subsequently Göring built his Reichsjägerhof Rominten. After Wilhelm's death Göring forced the heirs to sell the Lodge to himself. Göring used the new structure until the arrival of the Red Army in 1944.

In 1938 Groß-Rominten was renamed Hardteck. When East Prussia was divided between Russia and Poland after World War II, Rominten became part of the Soviet Union. In 1947, it was renamed Krasnolesye (Red Woods).
