Sacred buildings

  • The Neurossgärter Church was built between 1644 and 1647 with an 84 meter high square tower. It has not been preserved.

"The Neu = Roßgärtsche Church is on the spot where there was a burial place before it was built. The foundation for the same was laid on May 30, 1644, and the church was consecrated on December 5, 1647. The tower, which has over 30,000 florins cost, was covered with copper; but before this happened, lightning struck the tower on May 9, 1695; but did not ignite, but merely melted the iron bands of the uppermost north-facing window, so that the iron poured down drop by drop. He struck a piece of a steel angle iron that was leaning against the lower window on the same side, and also melted a few drops. In 1721 on June 21st, lightning struck the tower again, but the fire was happily extinguished. The church itself has a wooden ceiling in the form of a vault, which, regardless of its size, does not rest on any pillar.The pulpit was built in 1643 and the altar in 1668. The junker choir is from the old town merchant's aft, and the magistrate's choir was erected in 1783, and the current organ was built in 1747. It is remarkable that this church, with all the associated equipment and the parsonage, came about solely through the mild contributions of the Königsberg residents. The first preacher was appointed by the magistrate in 1648. The sovereignty granted the magistrate this right, although the court and the citizenry objected to many things. On January 12th, the old town ministry compared itself with the preacher of this church about anything that might give rise to disputes between the two communities, and this comparison still serves as a guide. The clergyman at this church used to belong to the old town ministry, but now the church has a special pastor. Next to the church is the school and the old town widow's monastery. "
