History of middle hooves
The hooves expanded in front of the Steindammer Gate . 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 . Mittelhufen was initially an independent village and was incorporated into Königsberg in 1905. In the course of this large-scale incorporation, the Tragheimer Tor and the Steindammer Tor were demolished, some bastions and ramparts were razed and arterial roads to the Hufen districts were created.
The large sports field, today the Baltika Stadium of FK Baltika Kaliningrad , is based on a donation by the banker and city councilor Walter Simon , who made a huge piece of land available to his hometown in 1892 and made it mandatory to build a sports field there. The pillars of the stadium entrance come from the demolished old town church .
In this district are the zoo , the police headquarters , the district and regional court , the upper post office , the Prussian state archive , the new theater , an upper lyceum , a secondary school for girls , elementary schools , the Tiepolt orphanage , a maternity home and that Rhesianum .
