Kaliningrad
Kaliningrad (originally German Königsberg, Czech Královec, Polish Królewiec, Latin Regiomontium, Lithuanian Karaliaučius) is the capital of the Kaliningrad Oblast, an exclave of the Russian Federation. It lies at the mouth of the Pregola River into the Baltic Sea. In 2007 it had 422,300 inhabitants. It used to be the capital of East Prussia.
The settlement of Pregnora on the site of the later city was founded around 300 BC, but it was destroyed during the conquest of Prussia by the Crusaders. The Crusaders founded the town in 1255 in honour of the Bohemian King Přemysl Otakar II, who led the Crusader armies during one of their expeditions against the pagan Prussians. The Crusaders built a castle here, which in 1256 they named Royal Mountain in Sambia (castrum de Coningsberg in Sambia), in Latin Mons Regius (later Regiomontium).
Around 1290, the town was granted city rights. It developed as a port and a member of the Hanseatic League. Around 1300, the settlement Löbenicht was founded on the south bank of the Pregola River and in 1327 the settlement Kneiphof was founded on the island of Pergola (all three parts were merged in 1724). In 1312 the castle became the seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights and shortly afterwards the construction of a cathedral dedicated to St. In 1345, the town suffered a devastating fire. In 1701 the town fell to Prussia and in the same year Frederick I was crowned King of Prussia. In the 18th century other suburbs were added to the town. During the Seven Years' War, the town briefly fell to Russia. In 1871 the town became part of the German Empire.
