Maraunenhof

The estate Maraunenhof, originally Maraunen, was located in the forest west of the Oberteich and north of Tragheim since 1571.

A break was made in Königsberg's city walls near the Wrangel Tower (Wrangelturm) in 1906 to allow construction of a road north through Tragheimsdorf to Maraunenhof.

The Königsberger Terrain-Aktiengesellschaft Oberteich-Marauenhof, a private development company, built Maraunenhof into a suburb of upper class villas along the northern shore of the Oberteich ca.

[4] Parks in Maraunenhof included Max-Aschmann-Park, named after the merchant Max Aschmann,[5] and the scenic Stadtgärtnerei, established by Garden Inspector Paul Käber (1869-1919).

The quarter's mostly Protestant residents attended the Herzog-Albrecht-Gedächtniskirche at König-Ottokar-platz, named after King Ottokar II of Bohemia; in 1934 the square was renamed Herzog-Albrecht-Platz after Albert, Duke of Prussia.
