A Freiheit (German for liberty or freedom; plural Freiheiten) was a quarter of medieval Königsberg, Prussia.
The tracts, originally pastures and farmland, developed into suburbs subordinate in administrative, judicial, religious, and educational matters.
The Freiheiten of Königsberg Castle included Burgfreiheit, Neue Sorge, Rossgarten, Sackheim, and Tragheim.
By the Rathäusliche Reglement of 13 June 1724, King Frederick William I of Prussia merged Altstadt, Löbenicht, Kneiphof, and their respective suburbs into the united city of Königsberg.
[2] Königsberg Castle and its suburbs remained separate until the Städteordnung of Stein on 19 November 1808 during the era of Prussian reforms.
