Neurossgarten

The area of Neurossgarten was first mentioned as the Altstädtischer Roßgarten in 1466 in archives of the Teutonic Knights,[1] and consisted of meadows, pastures, gardens, and a cemetery used by Steindamm.

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

To the west and north were the streets Deutschordensring (formerly Krausenecksche Wallstraße) and Kniprodestraße (formerly Alte Gasse), followed by the early 17th century Baroque city walls.

[6] Friedrich Bessel, Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder, and Franz Ernst Neumann were buried in Neurossgarten's Ehrenfriedhof cemetery.

Many institutes and clinics, especially those affiliated with the University of Königsberg,[3] were located in Neurossgarten and the neighboring quarters of Laak and Steindamm.
