Königsberg (literally King's Mountain) is the name for the historic Prussian city that is now Kaliningrad, Russia. Originally a Sambian or Old Prussian settlement, it then 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. After being largely destroyed in World War II by Allied bombing and the Red Army, it was annexed by the Soviet Union and its surviving inhabitants forcibly expelled. Thereafter, the city was renamed Kaliningrad. Few traces of the former Königsberg remain today.

Es gab nie einen preussischen Stamm, wie Baiern oder Westfalen, sondern maximal ein ost- bzw. westpreuss. Regionalbewusstsein.
Haette es einen preuss. Stamm gegeben, waere nach 1945 eine preussische Landsmannschaft entstanden. Doch stattdessen organisierten sich die preuss. Provinzen, z. B. Schlesier, Pommern.
Mein Vater, geboren in Schwedt/Oder war von der Haltung her ein Preusse, Staatsdiener (Beamter), in 20 Jahren nur 5 Tage nicht "im Dienst". Sagte aber nie:

Poor Germans. How many killed people in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia by German? How many were killed in the camps ?
The taking of Ostpreußen was the worst of all. While Poland at least had a big ethnic Polish population and historic connection to the Ostgebiete, Russia / the Soviet Union had no claim on Königsberg whatsoever, and only occupied it because of the thirst for power of the murderer Stalin. Today, Königsberg exists as Kaliningrad, a shadow of its former self, its beauty shattered by soviet architecture without a soul, its history ignored, as an oblast of Russia without any connection to the rest of the country, and without a shared history. It is saddening, really. The people speak Russian today, but the winds whisper in German.
Lets be honest though, Germany would have done same to hundreds of Russian cities and towns if they won the War, cultural changing, so its not surprising USSR did same. Is just victors of war get spoils. Still sad either way.
The last line hit hard. 😭
Not exactly my thoughs, but a good description of my impression when I visited!
@@ingmarfriedheimer4549 It really is not a bold claim, they planned to "Germanify" many cities and areas in the East, its well documented as apart of there conquest East. Its just how war works
Also what determines if a nation is "cucked"? Modern Germany is one of the most powerful economies in the World, top 3rd global exporter & one of the most comfortable living quality, where millions wish to migrate to. Is that signs of a "cucked" nation? because I am proud of these accomplishments
@@FriedrichBarb keyword is planned, it is really hard to justify with something like that.
But lets play with that for a second. A German might also say the Russians planned the same for way longer. Lets be honest, Russification is as old as their country.

Konigsberg and East Prussia became the territory of Russia for the first time after the battles of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), only the unexpected death of the Empress of all the Russias Elizabeth I Petrovna deprived the Russian Empire of the fruits of victory in that war! In 1945 , Koenigsberg and 1/3 of East Prussia became the territory of the USSR as a result of World War II and were recognized by the WHOLE world ! It is senseless and even criminal to engage in revanchism now ! The lion's share of the destruction of the city of Konigsberg was inflicted by Royal Air Force bombers, and the destruction from the assault was minimal, the 3rd Belorussian Front of the Red Army of the USSR under the command of Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky captured the city in FOUR days, carrying out an assault from 6 to 9 April 1945!
Yes, modern Russian Kaliningrad has Soviet/Russian architecture! Any normal adequate person should understand that restoring the architectural forms of the Prussian kings means trying to cultivate the Prussian spirit and militarism in Russia! This was unacceptable not in 1945, not now!
Yes, and my native Stalingrad (Volgograd), which was 98% destroyed, including by "boys in Stahlhelme M35" from the Pregel River (the river in Kaliningrad / Konigsberg), and who destroyed more than 40,000 civilians (including my relatives) in just one barbaric bombing of Stalingrad on August 23, 1942...

You know, when a country loses its territory leaving a part of their nation abroad, then it's relatively normal (such things happened lots of times throughout history). But when THE WHOLE POPULATION of the region gets deported from their homeland, that's a different kettle of fish.
Many of Stalin's decisions were inhumane. E.g., not only Germans got departed from Silesia, Pomerania and Prussia, but also Poles from Galicia and Belarus. And also Crimean Tatars, Chechens, Kalmyks... The list goes on.
Nevertheless, the current government of Kaliningrad makes an effort to "Germanize" the city by putting up some German-type buildings.
That's history, folks. And I think, we shouldn't hate one another ever again to the point at which a war breaks out... So that none of the modern-day cities and countries share the awful fate of Königsberg.
He wasn't even born yet, so don't blame him

I live here. Never accepted the name Kaliningrad. I call it the perl of the Baltic that never happend. It would be the main city in the region if not for the soviet management. Ich spreche auch Deutsch, so ihr koennt Fragen stellen , wenn ihr wollt.
Gibt es bei den heutigen Bewohnern so etwas wie Sympathien für den vergangenen Glanz des ehemaligen Königsbergs?
@@reneegiese6315 immer mehr. 80en Jahren nach dem Krieg und bis jetzt gibt es viele Haeuser die frueher von Deutschen bewohnen wurden. Besonders in Dorfen. Und man schaetzt das Hitzungsystem in denen. Aber am meisten sind die Menschen nicht so wohlhabende, so die Kultur geht ihnen vorbei. Man spuert sie doch, in dem Strassenplan, in den Kirchen, in den Walden. Und alle Sehenwurdigkeiten sind Deutschen. Die Touristen kommen hier um ein russisches Europa zu sehen. Auf jeden Fall sind die Leute hier zufrieden, dass sie hier leben. Nur 15% sind wingestens einmal in Gross Russland gewesen, so man kann sagen, dass niemand umziehen. Man nutzt leider nicht das Potential dieses Landes.
After all, it is the main city in the region. The region is called Kaliningrad Oblast.😂
@@nessundorma11111 i meant the Baltic sea region.
@@marksittner602 It was just a major city in a secondary region. It never had the potential for anything more.
Ich muss es mir immer wieder anschauen. Immer wieder. Sie Hymne von Preußen. Zusammen mit den Aufnahmen. Dann das Reiterlied..und dann das Ende.
Happyness from America, to you all, and to Dutschland.
What a glorious city
I so love Germany and I so proud that my country has Kaliningrad as island of german kultura. Is it crazy?
No it's not crazy. But you should understand that for real German patriots it's still sad that we've lost our Ancient Eastern part (actually it was ripped off from Germany) and cities like Königsberg, Stettin, Danzig and Breslau.
@@jeanvaljean7266 we have Kaliningrad (Königsberg) but Poland has Szczecin (Stettin), Gdansk (Danzig), Wrozlaw (Breslau).
@@ЕленаЖелезняк-ъ4х I'm aware of this but from a German-patriotic perspective it doesn't change much as all of these cities were taken from Germany.
@@jeanvaljean7266 What about Polabia? Western Slavs tribes was lived long before the Germans. German people and german government want to return it to Poland or Russia?

Königsberg.. Heimatstadt meines Urgroßvaters.......
Loosing königsberg feels like loosing Constantinopole
Maybe one day Constantinople will be conquered again by Christians and Königsberg will be returned to the only country it truly belongs to: Germany.
The Lost city of Konigsberg.. a Marvelous video.

I remember that in the former version of this video there was another performance of the Ostpreussisches Reiterlied. I really like that version and I would like to find out, is there that version on RUclips or Spotify yet?
Yes it's on the channel of "Bern Stein", he ordered to give me a strike and I can't support this man anymore.
@@dr.ludwig, thank you!
I know this is a somewhat old and sad video, but I will share a little trivia here, that will maybe lift some spirit. I recently listend to QnA type podcats starring a well know university Professor and security policy expert, called György Nógrádi. (The guy also has a small following in germany as well and he regularly holds seminars at the summer programes of the SPD and the Bundeswher.) At some point in the podcast ,a viewer asked something about the Kaliningrad region, relating the russo-ukranian war. In response he gave a brief overview of the regions history, and at the very end, he mentioned something interesting. On the december of 1991 Just days before the collapse of the USSR, a delegation of soviet officials travelled to eastern block countries to offer territories that said country might desire in exchange for money. Some of these offerings allegedly included: Kárpátalja for Hungary, parts of Kariala for Finnland, and the Kaliningrad region for Germany. However, the german foreign minister at the time (maybe Klaus Kinkel, im not sure) wasnt even willing to recive the delegation and listen to their offer. A few days later the ussr collapsed. So all in all, at some point, a crumbling and desperate Soviet Union have actually tried to return Königsberg to Germany for a price it probalbly could have afforded. Im not entirely sure how much of this is true, but it did make me feel a bit better!
Yes they really offered it, but Germany didn't feel patriotic or demanding anymore, it accepted the total defeat and the new borders forced upon them. Wasn't it Genschers fault?
@@dr.ludwig Oh yes, It was Hans Genscher! Thanks Herr Ludwig! I could not remember. Yes, we can say it was his fault. He was not interested in hearing their offer. But it could be that just a year after the German reunion, he just didnt want to deal with administrative matters of another possible exclave province. He could have been just, lazy or exhausted.
@@derraider3573 It's important to note that Russia wasn't doing it to be nice, they were doing it to get money and nothing more.
@@treywaz Of course. I didnt say they made the offer out of kindness. They made it because their incompetence and hubris finally caught up to them, and their "empire" was falling apart. In contrast to the german state.
Since 1945 no one in charge in germany has acted in favour of the Germans. We are occupied and decisions like those are not made in German favour or with German interests in mind.@@derraider3573
The year just started Ludwig, dont make me cry already.
Don't cry because it's over
Smile because it happened

Aus Spanien unterstützen wir Könisberg als Deutschland 🇪🇸💪🏻🇩🇪
dank
Such a beautiful city and architecture destroyed in such brutal way I think it should not spoil the relations between Germans and Russians on the contrary this was a warning of that hostility between Europan nations has brought all such beautiful cities were compared not only German but also British, Russian,Italian,Serbian,french, etc. Rest in peace Königsberg and all victims of ww2❤️❤️😢
🥺🤍
Wir werden die Stadt mit Waffengewalt zurückerobern 👍🏻👍🏻
We will reconquer our GERMAN city with weapons!! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@larochejaquelein3680 👍👍👍
Super wymienić Francję a nie wymienić Polski 💀
Wenn die Russen weiterhin so schlecht kämpfen, sollten wir vllt mehr Über Königsberg reden!
Historisch, Militärisch und Kulturell wichtig!
Fangen wir bei polen an.
Thank you for this video, my Oma was from Konigsberg.
When Dr. Ludwig get back to past and bring us GREAT TREASURE OF HISTORY AND CULTURE
I believe one day it will be liberated and restored to its former beauty.
well, germans killed a half of europe and then want their old land back? i'd say f*ck you, it will never be yours
It never be your again, sry
Soviet Union had plenty of nice-looking cities (Tashkent is a good example) but kaliningrad is DEFINITELY not the case. If their intention was to deliberately turn Königsberg into an ugly city to further humiliate the Germans, I congratulate them because they did an excellent job. If not then the management of the city was full of fools and incompetents.
Grüße aus Bulgarien 🇧🇬
Grüße zurück.
👍 was für eine schöne Stadt Königsberg war 😁 und das Ende 😥 exemplarisch das Bild der Stadt von 1941 und 2019 😖 tolles historisches Zeitdokument 📺👍💯
