Jerusalem was first a suburban estate and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany, located southeast of the city center. Its territory is now part of the Moskovsky District of Kaliningrad, Russia.
A quarter is a section of an urban settlement.
Königsberg is the name for a former German city that is now Kaliningrad, Russia. Originally a Sambian or Old Prussian city, it later belonged to the State of the Teutonic Order, the Duchy of Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany until 1945. After being largely destroyed in World War II by Allied bombing and Soviet forces and annexed by the Soviet Union thereafter, the city was renamed Kaliningrad. Few traces of the former Königsberg remain today.
Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in Central and Western Europe, lying between the Baltic and North Seas to the north, and the Alps to the south. It borders Denmark to the north, Poland and the Czech Republic to the east, Austria and Switzerland to the south, France to the southwest, and Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands to the west.
Jerusalem, named after the ancient city, was founded by the Teutonic Knights as a village along the Alter Pregel River. [1] The vicinity was also once known as the Heiligengeistesfeld (Holy Ghost Field). [2] Heinrich Reuß von Plauen established a semi-circular sconce with trenches to protect the estate in the 15th century. [1] The estate was in the possession of Löbenicht's hospital during the 16th century. [3]
Jerusalem is a city in the Middle East, located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.
The Pregolya or Pregola is a river in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast exclave.
Heinrich Reuß von Plauen was the 32nd Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, serving from 1467 to 1470. He was the nephew of the previous Grand Master, Ludwig von Erlichshausen, and a distant relative to the 27th Grand Master, Heinrich von Plauen.
Development of Jerusalem intensified during the 1920s. [4] The village and estate were incorporated into the city of Königsberg in 1928. Nearby suburban quarters were Rosenau to the west, Seligenfeld to the south, and Adlig Neuendorf to the east.
Rosenau was first a suburb of and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany, located south of the city center. Its territory is now part of the Moskovsky District of Kaliningrad, Russia.
