Kaliningrad Central Park

[1] In 1786 Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder acquired Pojenter, as well as land extending from the Chausseehaus on the Landstraße to a footpath which later became Hufen-Allee.

A decade later the land was purchased by the school official Gotthilf Christoph Wilhelm Busolt, who renamed the park Louisenwahl to honor his wife, Louise (née Gramatzki).

[1] King Frederick William III of Prussia and his wife Louise chose the manor as their summer residence while staying in Königsberg in 1808-09.

The Königin-Luise-Gedächtniskirche, now the Kaliningrad Puppet Theatre, was dedicated in the northwestern corner of the park in 1901, the 200th anniversary of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Now known as Kaliningrad Central Park, it contains monuments of Baron Munchausen and Vladimir Vysotsky, as well some pre-war German architecture.
