      I agree with you and I feel the same way. Now most people don’t understand about kolingsberg because there family wasn’t from there. But my family was, I hope some day that kolingsberg will be rebuilt entirely! Tho it might not be in our life time if anything does happen. I’ve herd roomers that they might rebuild the kolingsberg castle. Tho this is not 100% confirmed, but it’s be nice if I could rebuilt it but honestly no offense. But I think the people that used to live in kolingsberg or family members should be the only ones of who rebuild it. Because they’re the ones who know of how the building was. I’m afraid that if Russia rebuilds it, it won’t look the same, obviously it won’t be the same regardless. But when it comes to the knowledge of people of kolingsberg they’re the ones that knows of how things where.

    Saw a fascinating insight into the Oblast recently. Whilst Königsberg is but a memory, some areas of Kaliningrad retain a couple of Prussian suburbs that escaped damage, now home to more gentile Russian owners. The city itself though is nothing like it’s forebear. Outside of Kaliningrad though, some cities, towns and villages retain their Prussian charm and character while others like the former Tilsit on the border with Lithuania have some sadly very run down areas. I was actually enchanted by it and wouldn’t mind visiting one day. Pretty sure though, it’s days as part of Germany, like the lost royal city of Königsberg, are gone…..but I could see it perhaps within the EU itself one day…which would be a great opportunity for the region.

      Typical explanation of the current situation of the city by the Russians. I am a Pole - after the Germans we got 2 large centers - Wocław and Szczecin, and 15 cities with a population of over 100,000. Wrocław was destroyed between 70-80% - Szczecin in 70% and the rest of these cities were destroyed in the urban substance in the range of 30-95%. Now take a look at what Polish cities look like. Built - restored - they were restored to their former shape - even though we had no money and our capital was destroyed in 95%. We did it in parallel. Of course, a significant percentage of it could not be restored - it was mainly due to the fact that we had over the heads of communists who did not like the restoration of German monuments and often their opinion was final. Exactly - now let's look at Kalilingrad. The city was destroyed no more than the Polish one - and what does it look like now? The only thing that was left there was the cathedral on the island and a few individual objects scattered all over the city. THIS NOT ALLIAN BOMBARDINGS led to the present appearance of the city - but the Soviet government which pursued a deliberate policy of removing everything German. These are facts and stop blaming others - because then you only confirm the stereotypes about you. Your government has led to the situation that now Konigsberg, instead of the pearl of the Baltic, on a par with Gdańsk, has become a nasty communist reminder of the USSR's policy.

Everything what is Ok here is German made . This is what I write to the videos of Königsberg :
    Königsberg had been creating famous people of great Importance , as :
    Regiomontanus : mathematician
    Cathleen Brandenburg ,Princess of Transsylvania Chr. Goldbach:
    mathematician Leonard Euler: mathematician Immanuel Kant : philosopher E.T.A. Hoffmann : writer , author G.H.L. Hagen : physicist G. R. Kirchoff:

    Erich von Drygalski : discoverer
    A. Sommerfeld: physicist
    Agnes Miegel: physicist
    Fanny Lewald: physicist
    H.A.Winkler : historian
    And no any russians , because russians are only russians .
    Many russians live on importing western made cars here, and selling them in Russia . It's their main point .
    But one has to, must add that this town teaches German ( good quality German ) language , some indigeous people speak much better German than a Berliner , as well as there are over 3 new German church buildings , and he people living here are somehow to Moscow as a Saint Petersburgers : they underestimate , belittle Moscow to their Kaliningrad . And : they seem like the Germans .
    The only thing what these people haven't done yet is to rename the town to Kantgad . Or to Königsberg ...
    And . The hitler has killed 40 million people , lenin has killed with his leninism-slav(e)s 100 million . In Germany there are NOT hitler statues , but in the land of the motherf.....r russians one can find a lot of statues of this mass murderer . Thank for the Hungarian and the Polish nations there are 20 more independent countries , and someone who is inside communist doesn't dare to say in a society , company any longer , hello , I am a leninist , communist ... :-)
