history
During the time of the order , the village was called Propsthof and belonged to the old town of Königsberg , to the west of which it was located. Around 1800 there was a small village with only six “fire places ” (households) and the hammer jug , which was named after an iron hammer located at this point on the (Rathshöfer) Freigraben (today Wosduschny ). Later there was a farm, an établissement and finally a nursing home.
In 1905 part of the town was incorporated into Königsberg and quickly developed into a villa suburb with green spaces around the Hammerteich and the popular Hammerkrug. From 1907, a little further west between the Pillauer Bahn and Lawsker Allee, an exemplary garden city - the Juditten villa colony - was built. In 1916 the new building of the Königsberg Art Academy was opened. The large granaries and the L. Steinfurt wagon factory were also located on the territory of Rathshof . Downstream from Pregel there was a chemical and a pulp factory (North German Cellulose Factory) . To the north, in the direction of Gut Charlottenburg , out of town, beyond the Fürstenteich (today Neskutschny Prud ) and the land moat, which was further up on the Freigraben, was the Vorwerk Klein Rathshof .
The part of the village that remained in the Königsberg district from 1905 was incorporated into Königsberg in 1927. After connecting the city to the Soviet Union and renamed Kaliningrad in 1945, the area came from Rathshof largely to the district of Wosduschnoje Rajons Oktyabrsky.
