The old towners built the willow dam from 1454 to 1466 after the wooden bridge on Nassen Lomse Island was completed. It was planted with willows and initially served as a storage area . There was a classicist garden pavilion with a dome at the Kaiserbrücke .
Development plans for the Pregelufer put an early end to the Kürbishütte , a Koenigsberg poets' association around Simon Dach , in the 17th century . In 1737, Christoph Gottlieb Büttner built the first Theatrum anatomicum on Weidendamm from private funds .
The house shown was built by Friedrich Lahrs for Konrad Gaedeke . It came into the possession of George Marx , who sold it to the Corps Masovia in 1929 .
