Let us not forget that it wasn't only the beautiful buildings that suffered. The women & young girls suffered worst at the hands of the Red Army while the men folk were marched off to Siberia with the screams of the women ringing in their ears.
…perhaps, but given where it is geographically, and the fact you’d have to contend with Poland, Lithuania and Russia who holds it, do you think that’s feasible??
What a beautiful city it was…Dresden was nearly obliterated too, but look how it has been reborn thanks to enough money and German reunification…a tragedy the same was not to be with the old capital of East Prussia.
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.

Part of the beauty of old Konigsberg results from the lack of automobiles. It's a walkable city. I imagine this city would have been ruined even without war by the incursion of automobiles into all public spaces. I look forward to a future of cities with fewer automobiles and their attendant infrastructures.
Англичане очень постарались чтобы россий вто время советскому союзу недостался этот городок в целости и сохранности и поэтому заранее до прихода советских войск акуратненько все разбомбили уничтожили средневековый город с восьмисотлетней историей где жил знаменитый философ кант основоположник камунизма если сейчас город был бы таким каким мы ево видим из кинохроник то непремено стал бы одной из туристических достопримичательностей калининградской области

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.

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.
