from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population density of Samland (1902)

The Kaporner Heide was a wooded area in southern Samland .

It was bordered by the Frischen Haff and the Pillauer Bahn . The heath owes its name to the (then) famous grave of four knights of the Teutonic Order west of Königsberg (Prussia) . In the Old Prussian language is "kapurnei" the word for grave. On the lagoon was Caporn, since 1525 an office of the main office in Schaaken .

Metgethen was a popular town in the Kaporner Heide. It was not until 1939 that Königsberg came about.
