- Howdy ya’ll. Today we’re going to look at the lost castle of Königsberg in the former capital city of the same name in East Prussia. This beautiful capital city, formerly known as Königsberg, was handed over to the Soviet Union and renamed Kaliningrad after The Second World War.
The History of Königsberg, the city, is directly related to the castle, and can be traced back to 1255 and The Baltic Crusades. Today we will view the oldest and most detailed photographs of this historic and lost German castle, while briefly diving into the currently accepted history.
The majority of the Königsberg Castle, and surrounding city, was destroyed during WW2, before being rebuilt under new leadership. If you enjoyed today’s video please like, share, and subscribe to the channel, and I look forward to our discussion in the comments down below.

I was so happy to see this video on my favorite channel about the city I lived 23 years of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This city was a pearl of Eastern Prussia prior the 2d World War. In 1990th I attended to the exhibition, where old pictures of Konigsberg were performed by Germans who still kept the images of their beloved town. I was crying after I saw that all the beauty and old civilization got lost!!! The city was bombed by British Airforce in 1944, and the castle and the Center of Koenig were destroyed. Its still gorgeous in its own way but never the same compare to the images on old pictures and cards. The civilization and technology were gone... we still can't figure out how all the engineering system was working at old times.
What a major crime by GB to the people there. Just WHY...senseless.
@@rzella8022 I don't think the Controllers are British or any nationality
It was during WW2- 6000 ppl of Konigsberg were killed during that operation. Total 143 cities were destroyed by GB airforces, including Dresden.
Back in Germany (Lower Saxony) I knew a few people who were from Königsberg and surroundings and had to flee from the Russians. They had to leave behind their homes and most of their belongings, going on a long treck western to save their lives, some with horse wagons, some on foot 😔
@@caobitayes, Russians gave Germans 24 hours to get ready. Ppl had to hide their valuable possessions in the house gardens, basements etc. The households were left as is with food and everything needed for life.
Great video, Konigburg was one of the biggest cultural losses for mankind, a true tragedy. One point.... the Amber room was actually made of amber, not gold... you should do a video on it... that was another massive loss, it was spectacular!
A very much appreciated video. The destruction of those people and their history is tragic.
have to agree. people need to reflect more upon what is lost. what it is replaced with is not much .
Thank you Jared.
Brought tears to my eyes.
I used to have vivid dreams as a little girl of this castle although so much has changed, it somehow felt like I was once there prior to the 1300's
The narration, speed and all, was just about perfect on this video. I love your stuff!
Love it :-) My grandpa was from Eastprussia - Tapiau near Königsberg! Thanks for your work 😊
My brother-in-law's mother who is in her 90ies is from that area, too. During WWII, she and her family fled from there to their new home in western Germany
So sick of hearing about the tragic loss of the great structures and History they contained. Thank you for your research, can't wait for the day when people can build and enjoy what they have created.
Когда я был маленький то из своего окна каждый день видел королевский замок
Amazing History .... wiped out for a reason.
what "reason" ?
For a no-good reason. Globalists against white accomplishment. Back in late 1800's they already said Germany must be destroyed because Germans were against Marxism taking over Europe.
A part of the past I never knew about thanks.
Thanks. Awsome pics 😊
Great find brother
Wow ... 😁👍🌸 Watching from Christchurch NewZealand 🌸
Just help me understand how people in sandals did this!!
Good video!! Great narrating!
It started out an old Prussian fort known as Tuwangste after conquering the area in 1255 the Teutonic Knights reenforced and added on to between 16th an 18th the castle was constructed, it was the residence for the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and later residence for Prussian rulers … the history as it was written was very conflated and hard to piece together 🤷🏻♀️
You mean It smells of lies
My ancestors go back to the 1600s there or older and they were servants or knights of the royal castle.
Какую красоту уничтожили!!!! Варвары!!
Whats intriging there so few people on those fotos, very interesting thanks
Indeed & almost everywhere on Earth in old pictures there seem far too few people to have built the infrastructure on show, let alone to justify such built magnificence.
Awesome work, been looking got some og these photos
Great Video ! Impressive pictorial history ! Did not know about this place or its relevance to Germany's history ! Thank You !
Many thanks!
Thank you 🙏
at 14.20 interesting fireplace...
At 9:00, the ground floor area in the front somehow looks like it once had been a horse stable that got turned into rooms for personnel...
Wow!
Everything hidden in plain sight.
I wonder if castles that came after were designed on it.
Much Gratitude Konigsberg, Sweet Home - Alas, most gone, warm though my Tomb still rests - Watching my People - We felt our Place - We have purpose - Do we not? Farewell, my Sweets ...
❤❤❤❤❤
Wars to destroy our true past.

howdy jarid 👋
Königsberg doesn t belong to Germany anymore. It was also the place of birth of Immanuel Kant.
There is still a German dish Königsberger Klöppse. A classic German meal. 😊
It seams that are two diferent people living in this castle one before and another after
I think Final fantasy 6 Is an account of the old world
at :27 there is a scale model of the castle. Where is that?
Too big for the chairs and the chemeney
In other words "It was there already".
Hogwarts castle is based on a star castle
RIP heiliges Deutschland 🥲
Let's keep it 1000% #MEXICO 🌎😎👍🏿 WE HAVE ALIENS 👽
There is an umlaut over the o in Koenigsberg so it us pronounced totally different than the way your pronouncing it
West of Russia.
John Levi is a stooge

Yes levi can ligma

What does that even mean?
After WW2 Konigsberg was returned to the original owners of this land. pRussia was part of Russia until the crusaders invaded it in 12-th centuries. Too bad the old part of city was destroyed so badly.
Yeah! Prussians have Balto-Slavic origins.👍👍

there was no Russia as such in the 12th century and that area never belonged to any kind of russian-like state, mate. if anything, it belonged to Lithuania.
