The Moskovsky prospekt ( Russian Московский проспект ) is one of seven prospectuses in Kaliningrad and the beginning of a four-lane expressway that was built in the 1980s to connect Kaliningrad directly with Moscow . The long-distance connection was only realized from Kaliningrad to Gwardeisk . The Moskovsky prospect is the east-west axis of Kaliningrad, while the Leninsky prospect is the north-south axis.
course
The street leads from the Kaliningrad city center near the Park pobedy (Victory Park) in the area of the former inner Königsberg fortress belt as a union of the uliza Generala Butkowa, which comes from the south from the double-decker bridge (German Reichsbahnbrücke ) over the Pregel , and the Gornaja uliza , which establishes the connection with the west of Kaliningrad, up to the eastern Kaliningrad city limits to the road junction with the Kaliningrad city ring, where the federal road A 229 connects to the east. The Moskowski prospekt is about six kilometers long and is bridged by the street section of the Leninski prospekt, which leads across the Cathedral Island to the Ploschtschad Zentralnaja (formerly Kaiser Wilhelm Square ) (so-called First Kaliningrader Hochstrasse ), as well as by the Second Kaliningrader Hochstrasse .
history
In the center of Kaliningrad, the route leads from the former Sackheim to the former Oberlaak and Unterlaak . A few meters north of the Pregel River on Sackheimer Hinterstrasse in the former Löbenicht district was the Löbenicht nunnery and later the Löbenicht hospital. The Löbenicht secondary school and the Löbenicht church were located next to the hospital .

Today's development
The House of the Soviets and an ensemble of twelve-storey high-rise buildings with former shop fronts that were converted into a picture gallery by Vadim Yeremejew are on Moskovsky prospekt :
“The Gemäldegalerie […] on Moscow Prospect […] An ensemble of twelve-storey high-rise buildings with storefronts on the northern side of the Pregel, planned between 1975 and 1977, was also characteristic of the city center. It was converted at Kaliningradgrazdanproekt by the main architect Eremeev from 1987 into the Kaliningrad picture gallery. "
Baldur Köster writes the following about this:
“The […] former Sackheim, today's Moskowskij Prospect, is even wider; it has a special meaning as a boulevard in the direction of Moscow. Since there is heavy traffic here, pedestrians can only cross at a few traffic lights. "
