Gagarina Street (Sovetsk)

It arose from an old road, which back in the fourteenth century united two castles - Tilsit and Splitter. Gradually, this street began to be built up with stone houses. In 1540, the street was called Lange Gasse, after Tilsit received city law from the Duke of Albrecht in 1552, he received the name Deutsche Gasse, which was later transformed into Deutsche Strasse. After the Second World War , when the rubble was cleared, the street became known as Broad and only after it was built up with new four- and five-story houses - Gagarin Street.

The old look of the street underwent significant changes during the devastating battles, the street was almost destroyed. Now little can tell about her unique medieval silhouette.

Many buildings and structures that were crucial for the city were lost: the German (Order) church, the Town Hall, the monument to Maximilian von Schenkendorf , the Falken pharmacy, the house of Blaurock, the Kaiserhof hotel, the house with sculptures of two lions at the entrance (it was built on the foundation of an old Franciscan monastery ), Napoleon’s house.
