history
The district was largely shaped by port facilities and sailing clubs. In 1907 the Union Foundry, Lokomotivfabrik & Schiffswerft Königsberg settled here. The shipyard was merged with the Schichau shipyard in Elbing in 1930 . The Union foundry was the largest machine factory in East Prussia. In 1924 the district of Contienen was formed from the manor district of Contienen and the district of Groß Karschau. In 1927 Contienen was incorporated into the municipality of Königsberg.
There were three large harbors in Contienen: the free port with warehouses (opposite Kosse ), the industrial port with group storage and tower storage and the wooden port with the "Rhenania-Ossau-Mineralölwerke" and the "Jul. Berger-Tiefbaugesellschaft ". The sailing clubs joined the Holzhafen in the direction of the lagoon.
The Schichau shipyard was almost at Godrienen (Russian Laskino).
The new ports replaced the dog husband .
present
Today the shipyard of Pribaltijskij Sudostroitelnij Sawod Jantaryj , which translates as " Baltic Sea Shipyard Bernstein ", is west of the former wooden port . The Beek , which flows into the harbor basin, is now called Towarnyj Rutschej (Товарный ручей) or Rutschej Towarnyj, for example "Warenbach". From the 1950s to 1999, one line of the Kaliningrad tram ran to the Jantar shipyard.
