location
Hufen was west of Neurossgarten , north of Kosse (Königsberg) and south of Mittelhufen . The Königsberger Hufen expanded in front of the Steindammer Tor and consisted essentially of parks and cemeteries. In the 17th century, the town of Hufen belonged to the old town together with the Rathshof and the Laak . The Schroetter map from 1802 shows these three Hufen districts (Hufen, Vorderhufen and Mittelhufen) still completely undeveloped and consisting only of meadows. Only the front hooves show a weak settlement along the road to Cranz . The Hufen were not incorporated into Königsberg until 1905. On the Hufen were Walter-Simon-Platz and Luisenwahl in large parks . Otherwise there was the University Hospital and the Psychiatric Clinic. The cemeteries of the Old Town Church of St. Nikolaus , the Tragheimer Church , the Neurossgärter Church , the Königsberg Cathedral and the Steindammer Church were located here .
history
The oldest resident in 1710 was the old town wilderness rider who looked after the Kaporn Heath at the point where the Pillauer Landstrasse makes a sharp bend to the south. The wealthy Königsbergers moved to the Huben in the summer. That is why Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder laid out the boardwalk in 1786 , which enabled the use of the land route (the later Hufenallee) to Pojenters Hof even when it rains. When the path was rotting at the beginning of the 19th century , a plank path association of villa owners took over the maintenance. "Carlsruh" was where the yellow jug once stood. The deacon god of honor Andreas Wasianski , the caring friend of Immanuel Kant , lived in the garden house above the Freigrabenschlucht gorge, which later became Villa Hufenterrasse . In 1807 Carlsruh sold the area to the Flora, which became such an elegant establishment that the city welcomed the imperial family there in 1879. In 1812 the old Lauenhof became the Villa Conradshof. In 1826 seven villas and barns burned down. In 1829 a road was built to Lawsken . In addition to the house of the wilderness maker - now a Chausseehaus - the pitcher "Legan" was. In the meantime, the amusement bars at Königsberg Castle Pond had come to life here in the former villas of the Königsberg “high finance”. Etablissement Conradshof, Park Villa Nova, Villa Hufenpark, Hufenterrasse, Villa Bella, the later Amende confectionery, Birkenhäuschen, Fortuna, Flora, Drachenfels, Julchenthal and others. Only the Kurwowski villa on the Chausseehaus remained in private hands until it was demolished in 1911. The panorama was built towards the city next to the Krug Legan in 1891, and the wooden circus was built further to the east. Walter Simon bought a field opposite Villa Nova in 1892 and donated it to the city as a sports field. Ten years after the demolition of Chausseehaus and Legan, a small pond was created in 1911 - with Stanislaus Cauer's bathers. In addition, Otto Walter Kuckuck built the Luisentheater . Little by little the establishments disappeared and apartment blocks were built. In 1913 the Hufenfreigrabenschlucht was opened.
