Geographical location

Ponarth is located in the south of Kaliningrad and is four kilometers from the city center. An insignificant side street leads through the district, which at Novo-Doroschny (Hoch Karschau) meets an urban bypass that joins the Russian trunk road A 194 (former German Reichsstrasse 1 ) with the trunk road R 516 (former German Reichsautobahn Berlin – Königsberg " Berlinka ") ) connects. Previously Ponarth was a train station by name, today there is only one Ostranowotschny point ("Haltpunkt") called Kijewskaja on the railway line from Kaliningrad to Mamonowo (Heiligenbeil) for onward travel to Poland (former Prussian Ostbahn ). Before 1945, Ponarth was an excursion destination for the Königsbergers on Sundays, who enjoyed the high, wild trees of the village and the view of the city.
