The Tragheimer Church

The Tragheimer Kirche was a Protestant church in Königsberg .

history

The first Tragheim church was built in 1632 in the Königsberg suburb of Tragheim from a brick barn.

In 1636 she got her own pastor. In 1707 the building collapsed. From 1707 to 1710 a new building was carried out by Joachim Ludwig Schultheiss von Unfriedt ; the tower with the broken baroque helmet was not completed until 1723. In 1743 the church burned down, a reconstruction must have taken place immediately, as a contract was signed with Adam Gottlob Casparini in 1744 for a new organ , which could be completed in 1752. This organ was destroyed in another church fire in 1783, after which his student and successor Christoph Wilhelm Braweleit built a new organ in 1792/1794 . This instrument was planned with 31 registers, 5 of which, however, were not initially implemented.

During the Fourth Coalition War , the church temporarily served as a hospital and warehouse, which caused damage to the organ.

The tower was left unfinished with a tent roof. In 1809, the god of honor Andreas Wasianski , the supervisor of Immanuel Kant , became pastor there after his death. The rococo pulpit with excellent carvings by master carpenter Grabowski and the altarpiece by Christian B. Schulz were worth seeing.

The church survived the two bombing raids in August 1944 largely unscathed, but was probably destroyed in the course of the final battle for the city in spring 1945. It was demolished in the 1950s or 1960s; a prefabricated building now stands in its place.
