Ratshof

Ratshof or Rathshof was a suburban quarter of western Königsberg, Germany.

The estate Propsthof, in the broad Hufen region between Altstadt and Lawsken, was established by the Teutonic Knights.

The estate was subsequently known as Ratshubenhof[2] and then Ratshof; it is unknown if it was renamed in honor of Betner himself or the Altstadt town council (Rat).

Over centuries Ratshof functioned as an iron forge, a farming estate, an upper class establishment, and a children's nursing facility.

The quarter's stadium, Sportplatz Hammerteich, hosted the football club SpVgg ASCO Königsberg.
