Klapperwiese (Königsberg)

The Klapperwiese was a street in Königsberg (Prussia) .

history

Fewer storks rattled on the meadow on the Pregel than cut barrel staves , folding wood. Since 1729 the Klapperwiese was a street from Kaiserstraße to Sattlergasse. Villa Fridericia was located on the Klapperwiese, across from the Königsberg zoo . The popular dance hall belonged to "Ruckpauls Franz" (Hans Lippold).

The old town's Klapperwiese was on the Dutch tree .

The Philosophendamm was a stroll loved by Kant , which the city president Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder had laid out. As a square it led from Philosophendammgasse in the south through Bahnhofswallgasse, past Fort Friedrichsburg , the shipyard and the island of Venice and ended at Klapperwiese. Often covered with water, it simulated a lake. In the 20th century, only a small part of the dam was preserved in Schleusenstrasse and in the facilities at the Südbahnhof .
