Königsberg Cathedral. Kaliningrad, Russia
Königsberg Cathedral (Russian: Кафедральный собор г. Калининграда; German: Königsberger Dom) is a Brick Gothic-style monument in Kaliningrad, Russia, located on Kneiphof island in the Pregel (Pregolya) river. It is the most significant preserved building of the former City of Königsberg, which was largely destroyed in World War II.
Dedicated to Virgin Mary and St Adalbert, it was built as the see of the Prince-Bishops of Samland in the 14th century. Upon the establishment of the secular Duchy of Prussia, it became the Lutheran Albertina University church in 1544. The cathedral burnt down after two RAF night raids in late August 1944; reconstruction started after the Perestroika movement in 1992.

Königsberg Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert is a gothic-style brick monument in present day Kaliningrad, Russia. The cathedral is located on Kneiphof island in the Pregel (Pregolya) river.
The construction of the cathedral is considered to have been begun in 1330 and was largely completed in 1380....
The choir contained murals from the 14th and 15th centuries, late Gothic wood carvings, and medieval monuments in the Renaissance style, the chief of which was a statue of Albert, Duke of Prussia, carved by Cornelis Floris de Vriendt in 1570.
The cathedral originally had two spires. The spires (one north and one south) overlooked the entrance (west side) of the cathedral. In 1544 the two spires were destroyed by fire. The south spire was rebuilt, but the north spire was replaced by a simple gable roof. In 1640 a clock was built underneath the rebuilt spire, and from 1650 the famous Wallenrodt Library, donated by Martin von Wallenrodt, was situated underneath the gable roof.
n late August 1944, British bombers carried out two night raids on Königsberg. The first raid, on 26/27 August, largely missed the city, but the second raid, on 29/30, destroyed most of the old part of Königsberg (including Kneiphof), and the cathedral was hit.
After the war, the cathedral remained a burnt-out shell and Kneiphof was made into a park with no other buildings.
Shortly after Kaliningrad was opened to foreigners in the early 1990s, work began on reconstructing the cathedral. By 1994, a new spire was installed and the following year, the clock was replaced. Today, the cathedral has two chapels, one Lutheran, the other Russian Orthodox...

STORYLINE
Russia's President Putin has described it as the key issue influencing relations between his country and the European Union. It is the historical and geographical oddity of Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave soon to be surrounded by an expanded EU. When Poland and Lithuania become EU members in 2004 citizens of Kaliningrad will need visas to travel to the Russian motherland. Russian nationalists in Moscow are bridling at the suggestion amid fears that Kaliningrad is already being entranced by the siren voices of the West

Walking in KALININGRAD / Russia ????????- 4K 60fps (UHD)
Kaliningrad (Russian: Калинингра́д, German: Königsberg), is a the capital city of a Russian exclave at the Baltic sea between Poland and Lithuania.
The history of Kaliningrad dates back centuries where it was the capital of Prussia with the name Königsberg. It was a an important cultural hub in the 18th and 19th century, also the home town of philosopher Immanuel Kant.
Little is left of these times after the destructions that WWII brought. Now thanks to a new eVisa program, tourists from 50+ countries can easily visit Kaliningrad without a normal russian visa. There are direct bus connections from Gdansk, Elblag and even Warsaw.
We start our walk at the Ploshchad' Pobedy (Площадь Победы) at the Victory column. We see the a russian-orthodox cathedral (Кафедральный собор Христа Спасителя) and church there.
We walk down the Prospekt Leninskiy, a major street heading South to the old centre of the city. We pass the old castle ruins and finally see the old Kaliningrad Cathedral. I had to return to a ticket office to get into the cathedral where the Prussian history is seen. I somehow missed the Emanuel Kant tomb which is right behind the cathedral.
At last we walk along the Pregolya river where we end this evening tour on the Jubilee bridge.

Cathedral on Kant Island in Kaliningrad City August 2016
euronews Life - Russian Life: Kaliningrad, the Amber City
For this edition of Russian Life, euronews travels to the Kaliningrad exclave. Isolated from the rest of the country, it is the smallest, youngest and greenest of Russia's territories.
Its convenient location and nice weather make the bicycle a popular way to get around the city.
Gennady Mikhailov, Executive Director, Kaliningrad region Cycling Federation:
We're 30 minutes from the sea, the place is environmentally friendly, with clean air, lots of green trees and interesting terrain. And everything in Kalingrad is close by - you can cross the whole city on foot in around an hour and a half.
Not much is left of the original German enclave of Koenigsberg, as this region was known before it was passed to the Soviet Union at the end of the Second World War. Allied air raids ruined the historic centre before the city was taken by the Soviet army.
One of the few surviving buildings is the medieval cathedral. Daily concerts on its recently restored pipe organ bring in visitors from all over Russia and the rest of the world.
