Gentlemen,
I suggest Larry's database may be of some relevance here, specifically:
Hüttenfelde (GER) (a.k.a. Lobellen/Neusiedel, Sovietsk Neyzidel?)
( ? )
General: landing ground (Landeplatz) in the former East Prussia 30
km SE of Tilsit and near Gumbinnen. Not located. History: no
further information or mention of wartime use by the Luftwaffe found.
Surface and Dimensions: grass surface. Infrastructure: none noted.

Neusiedel (GER/RUSS) (e. Neusiedel) ( ?? )
General: landing ground Neisiedl/Kreis Tilsit-Ragnit in the former
East Prussia near Insterburg (Chernyahovsk). Said to be 25 km SE of
Titsit. Not located. History: no further information or mention of
