Tauragė
Tauragė (; see other names) is an industrial city in Lithuania, and the capital of Tauragė County. In 2011, its population was 26,444. Tauragė is situated on the Jūra River, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast, and not far from the Baltic Sea coast.
Tauragė received its city charter in 1932, and its coat of arms (a silver hunting horn in a red field) in 1997. Notable buildings in the city include the neo-Gothic Radziwiłł palace - "the castle" (currently housing a school and regional museum Santaka) and several churches: the Lutheran (built in 1843), the Orthodox (1853) and the Catholic churches (1904). A ceramics manufacturing plant operates in the city.
==Etymology==
In Lithuanian, Tauragė is a conjunction of two words: ''Tauras'' which means aurochs, and ''ragas'' which means horn, hence its coat of arms. The city is known as ''Tauroggen'' in German, as ''Taurogi'' in Polish, ''טאווריק/Tovrik'' in Yiddish, and ''Тауроген, Тауроги/Taurogen, Taurogi'' in Russian.
