Tragheim was a quarter of northern Königsberg, Germany. Its territory is now part of Kaliningrad, Russia. ==History== Tragheim was first documented in 1299,〔Karl, p. 153〕 but probably already existed as an Old Prussian farming village in 1255 when the Teutonic Knights conquered Sambia during the Prussian Crusade. The German name ''Tragheim'' was derived from the Prussian ''Trakkeim'', meaning a village in a forest clearing (similar to Trakehnen).〔Gause I, p. 6〕 Germans were a minority in the village along the Schlossteich and the Oberteich during the Middle Ages; by 1535 Prussian Lithuanians were also documented in Tragheim.〔Gause I, p. 56〕 Tragheim became a ''Freiheit'' suburb under the control of Königsberg Castle, receiving its own court in 1528〔Albinus, p. 317〕 and its own seal in 1577.〔Armstedt, ''Geschichte'' p. 166〕 Its coat of arms depicted a brown deer's head between two green fir trees on a blue field.〔 While Tragheim had been excluded from medieval Königsberg's walls, the village was included within the greater Baroque fortifications constructed during the 1620s. Neighboring quarters were the Lustgarten and Burgfreiheit to the south, Steindamm to the west, the city walls to the north, the Oberteich to the northeast, and the Schlossteich to the east. Farther to the north beyond the walls was the village of Tragheimsdorf and the heath known as the Tragheimer Palve. Altstadt, Löbenicht, Kneiphof, and their respective suburbs were merged to form the united city of Königsberg in 1724. However, Königsberg Castle and its suburbs, including Tragheim, were included within the new city limits but remained under royal, not municipal, control.〔Gause II, p. 76〕 Tragheim was merged into the city during the ''Städteordnung'' of Stein on 19 November 1808 during the era of Prussian reforms.〔Gause II, p. 334〕 By 1890 the area from Neurossgarten's Wagnerstraße through Steindamm to Tragheimer Pulverstraße was the most densely settled part of the city.〔Armstedt, ''Heimatkunde'' p. 22〕 During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, however, many of Königsberg's affluent citizens moved from Tragheim to the new suburbs of Amalienau and Maraunenhof. In the same era Tragheim also had Königsberg's lowest birth rate.〔Gause II, p. 760〕 Tragheim Gate in the city walls was dismantled in 1911 to increase traffic and development in northern Königsberg.〔Gause II, p. 650〕 Tragheim was heavily damaged by the 1944 Bombing of Königsberg and 1945 Battle of Königsberg. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tragheim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
