Aweiden

Aweiden or Aweyden was first a suburb of and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany, located south of the city center.

The estate of Aweiden was controlled by Königsberg by 1550; Johann Schnürlein, mayor of Kneiphof and ducal chamberlain, owned it in 1579.

[1] Aweiden was sold in 1660 after a fire, but was eventually owned by the ducal official Friedrich Kupner (1648-1719).

[4] A competition featuring 600 gymnasts was held in Aweiden in 1862; it was so well-received that the Collegium Fridericianum made it an annual event.

The road Aweider Allee led from Mühlenhof at the Pregel south through Rosenau, Speichersdorf, and Aweiden to Königsberg's southern city limit.
