Tragheim

The name comes from the Prussian trakas (trakas): clearing in the forest, felling, deforestation, tall dry meadow with isolated shrubs and “caymis, kaimas”.

Tragheim was mentioned in 1322 in the privileges of Löbenicht . The village was until 1632 under the Löbenichst local government. One can safely assume that this was considered a manifestation of great freedom, because Markgraf Albert Friedrich gave the village in 1577 the coat of arms on which were depicted; Deer with a brown head between two green spruce trees on a blue background shield. The district was divided into front, middle and rear Tragheim. Residents belonged to the Löbenicht church and were buried in the Polish cemetery. There were many houses in the area that were exempted from all taxes, as they had little jurisdiction and allowed unprofitable artisans to survive. In the area there were several foundations of noble citizens created to help widows and orphans. In 1539, Tragheim burned out after a fire in Lithuanian baths. In 1703, in a spirit of tolerance, the king allowed the Jews of Königsberg to build his cemetery in Tragheim. At the beginning of the 20th century, the headquarters of the Conservative Party, which also published the Ostpreußischen Zeitung newspaper, was located in the district, and several more small newspapers, Königsberger Anzeigers, Georgine, and Blattes der Landwirtschaftskammer, were also published in this edition. After the appearance of villas in the districts of Maraunenhof and Amalienau, Tragheim lost its position as the preferred residential area ^[1] .

In Tragheim there was a government building, Albertina , Palaestra Albertina and several university institutes, a university library, a municipal theater, a business college, a high school, a gymnasium, a sports ground, an elementary school, a children's school, a fire station, a Jewish cemetery, a tax office and a royal garden which actually belonged to the royal castle. Along the Castle Pond , in the best places, were the Shelter of the Old Defenders, the Park Hotel, the houses of the Königsberg Masonic Lodges ; “To the Three Crowns”, “ Dead Head and Phoenix ” and “Immanuel” ^[2] .
