Laak (Königsberg)

[4] Because of the wetness of the land, development of Laak was first concentrated to the north along the hill Rollberg before continuing to the west and south.

[3] Laak was bounded by Neurossgarten to the north, Altstadt to the east, Lastadie to the south, and the early 17th century Baroque city walls to the west.

Laak was closely affiliated with the Lastadie warehouse quarter and Lizent toll district.

By the Rathäusliche Reglement of 13 June 1724, King Frederick William I of Prussia merged Altstadt and Laak into the united city of Königsberg.

[7] The foundry Union Giesserei Königsberg was located between Oberlaak and Neuroßgarten's Botanischer Garten.
