Nice film. I have become fascinated by this city recently. It's demise is one of the great untold stories of the 20th century.The city looks so beautiful, but I can't help but be drawn towards the people in this film, going about their everday business in the last few days of peace. How many of them would die in the air raids, evacuation/expulsion, fighting in the city or elsewhere in the war? And those who survive will need to move hundreds of miles from home. Tragic.They paid a high price.
Well, there is one good thing in Kaliningrad's architecture: trees. At least in 1987-2007 it was a giant botanic garden. I was born by the Schloßteich, and I love the mix of german, russian, polish and baltic spirits.
@akaast Thank you for your strory, it was very interesting to read it and feel the real history of real people of this city. The war - is a terrible time of breaking down the fates of people and such a beautiful city like Königsberg. And of course, we are interested in everything about this city. I want to see you in our community on Facebook (the link is under the video) I want to unite people who are related to the topic and love the topic of Königsberg and East Prussia there .
The greatest philosopher from the age of enlightenment " Immanuel Kant was born in this city . Now a part of Russia renamed as Kaliningrad . What a tragedy ! How futile wars destroy everything in its wake.There is no room for blame or name. Just lessons to be learnt. Never again should such dictators and disasters happen. Thanks Shumastrik.
Only one man to blame for this or is it the German nation at the time caused prussia,Silesia and Pomerania never to be German..the German people need to look at themselves and see that they caused this at the time the First World War was unfair to Germany but Hitler destroyed Germany at least now Germany is back as it should be a proud and prosperous nation with a great and not so great chequered history..ich liebe Deutschland oh and by the way I believe all the lands germany lost should be German watching the old films makes me sad too
It's really a shame that a beautiful city such as this ("The Pearl of the East") ended up being destroyed. Lots of people to blame - Adolf Hitler for starting a war against Russia, Winston Churchill for giving into Stalin and ordering the RAF to bomb Konigsberg even though it was not a military target, the German Gauleiters who misinformed their people forbidding them to evacuate as the Red Army approached etc. The replacement city of Kaliningrad shows the world what Soviets offered culturally
The people paid for the belief in the populism of politicians, countries and cities - for the cowardice and betrayal of European countries ... And today everything is repeated again ... History teaches nothing ...
My grandfather Erich Hinz was out there. Lived in Speichersdorf Straße and then immigrated to USSR as he was German communist. But his mother and father left and after war they were thrown out of the city and immigrated to Belgium. Looks quite strange. I am Russian (Russian German) born in Moscow and proud of defeating of Nazis by Russian Army. But... my native town is Königsberg and not Kaliningrad. It is pity that it was lost forever. And in any case it is difficult to blame anybody other than Nazis and Hitler personally.

In 1944 königsberg intensively bomb the British Royal air force. After that, the city burned for several days. The first bombing was carried out on the night of 27 August 1944, the 5th Group, Royal air force, composed of 174-Lancaster bombers. The airfields from which the bombers took off, were at a distance of a thousand kilometers from the object. The first RAID was not particularly successful, most bombs fell on the East side of the city. Shot down four aircraft. Three days later, on the night of 30 August 1944 in the air up to 189 Lancasters of the 5th air force unit. They dropped 480 tons of bombs on the city centre. German fighters shot down 15 bombers
Typical explanation of the current situation of the city by the Russians. I am a Pole - after the Germans we got 2 large centers - Wocław and Szczecin, and 15 cities with a population of over 100,000. Wrocław was destroyed between 70-80% - Szczecin in 70% and the rest of these cities were destroyed in the urban substance in the range of 30-95%. Now take a look at what Polish cities look like. Built - restored - they were restored to their former shape - even though we had no money and our capital was destroyed in 95%. We did it in parallel. Of course, a significant percentage of it could not be restored - it was mainly due to the fact that we had over the heads of communists who did not like the restoration of German monuments and often their opinion was final. Exactly - now let's look at Kalilingrad. The city was destroyed no more than the Polish one - and what does it look like now? The only thing that was left there was the cathedral on the island and a few individual objects scattered all over the city. THIS NOT ALLIAN BOMBARDINGS led to the present appearance of the city - but the Soviet government which pursued a deliberate policy of removing everything German. These are facts and stop blaming others - because then you only confirm the stereotypes about you. Your government has led to the situation that now Konigsberg, instead of the pearl of the Baltic, on a par with Gdańsk, has become a nasty communist reminder of the USSR's policy.
Konigsberg had more than 700 years of history, as a Baltic, German and Slavic culture and architecture, a beautiful mix, before the British first in 1944 and above all the soviets in 1945-47 erase from the Earth his identity, culture and most of the architecture. Many cities were partially or totally destroyed in WW2 Europe, but very few suffered the fate of Konigsberg: its Identity and History was for the most part erased, even the name of the city, squares and streets were changed to russians names...Very, very sad indeed...The cultural autorities of the EU should´ve long ago demanded the russians autorities to permit a reconstruction of the Identity and architecture of Konigsberg, as well of the return to the original name of the city and its streets, as well as in the whole former Eastern Prussia...In any case, Konigsberg and the Prussian culture and identity should never die..!!
Эй, алё! Что за выражения? Русские стёрли город? Русские ничего не разрушали, но и вкладываться в чужую культуру было нелогично. Каждый восстанавливает своё, а не чужое, в первую очередь.

Germans didn't cause the destruction of this breath-taking paradise. Humanity did. Yes, Hitler was greedy for power, committed mass murders and the Allies were just trying to stop him. But the Allies also committed mass murders by targeting innocent populations. It's our greed, pride and ignorance that caused this city to crumble and I fear with the nukes around, it's possible this horrendous fate will the the future of all the remaining paradise.

Nostalgic video with nostalgic music to accompany, an excerpt from "Songs of Travel", by Ralph Vaughan Williams. A pity the beautiful city of Königsberg could not have been saved, as at least some of the city could have been repaired and restored, similar to the way much of Dresden's old town has now been despite its near total destruction near the end of the war. But now we have the hideous Soviet city of Kaliningrad, with not much more than the rebuilt cathedral and Kant's tomb to remind us of what the old East Prussian capital had once been.
@@JamesVaughan Я правду пишу. Его британцы разбомбили, но у Вас почему то русские виноваты. Вашему Гитлеру дома не сиделось, вот и потерял сказочный красивый город
Königsberg should be restored to its former splendor and glory. It was the most beautiful city in Germany and the communists destroyed most of the city. Why? So no one is reminded of Germany's magnificence.

Where one feels loss, there is revenge. Do not seek revenge! The land will always be there. Countries are merely chairs in a game of musical chairs - know that the only constant in life is change. Nations and flags are merely symbols we created to unite and to divide - they are figments of our imagination. Countries did not exist 5 hundred years ago, so why is national pride so important today? You've been duped! We've all been duped! While nations fight, the capitalists who funded both sides profited - regardless who won or lost. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow will be the same. We are all humans, and belong to the human race. Love each other as brother and sister, for all men and women are children of God!
You make a lot of sense but on some things I totally disagree. You assume national pride was not important 500 years ago. Right, there was no national pride but there certainly was tribal pride. The tribe you belonged to need to be preserves or you were done. So, you defended your tribe. You stuck to your tribe. You loved your tribe. It is like a family. Your family comes first. That does not mean you hate other families or you hate other tribes, not at all, you simply know where you belonged. That is how it is with a nation. Although now a nation is no more than a farm we live on....(different subject...)
On the night of August 27 and 30, 1944, the British Air Force raided Koenigsberg, which killed more than 6,000 civilians and destroyed the historic city center((
The Russians should rename Konigsberg as Klinsgrad is named after a Stalinist general. Russia already renamed St Petersburg from Leningrad which is German sounding name so no problems for them to rename the city.
Well, first of all, not the General, but the party leader. And nobody remembers him, and the name of Kalinina connected with wood Viburnum Kaliningrad - city .Viburnum.

Königsberg in Preußen. Königsberg in Prussia. Koningsbergen in Oost-Pruisen (jez. ol.) Кёнигсберг - Навсегда! Смерть большевикам! Калинин умер! Кёнигсберг жив!
"...this city was destroyed by war and Soviet architects...'You omitted something: "Hitler." Had Germany minded its own business in the 30's and 40's, there would still be a Koenigsberg today. There would also be old Warsaw, Rotterdam, Lidice, Oradour-sur-Glane, Guernica, and a thriving Jewish culture in Europe. Instead, the majority of Germans from that time chose to blindly follow a tyrant. The moral of the story here is "you reap what you sow."
Konigsberg is the homeland of Kant, ETA Hoffmann and many other great german artists and thinkers. EU should invest in East Prussia to rebuild the old city and to shape a new russian-german friendship agreement.
Это что за новый договор о " дружбе"? О передаче Калининграда вам, немцам убившим у нас десятки миллионов мирных граждан? А не думаешь, что после таких мыслей, оставшаяся часть Германии окажется в составе России! Нет? Подумай. Если есть чем думать!
@HHHPPP8 Of course they did. And Warsaw, Lodz, Stalingrad etc. Hitler and his Nazi criminals are hopefully burning in hell. A lot of people suffered terrible fates on all sides because of this monstrous ideology.
@Ascensiam Hitler and Stalin started WW2 by both invading Poland. Why do think that I have been indoctrinated? What a curious statement considering you don't know how I came about this knowledge.
@Shumastrik Thanks for the reply. Firstly, your link doesn't work for me nor can I find anything searching for Königsberg on facebook. Secondly, I don't think I would like to voice these words with my real name and information via Facebook. Happy to send some PMs in the near future though.
it's amazing how russia has land from germany to japan (sakhalin). unfortunately to manage so much land organizations is needed but there is huge corruption.
Karaliaučius or Königsberg aren't Russians and all of Prussia aren't land of Germany, Russia or Poland, because Prussia are free contry since 12-10 thousand years ago. Their brothers are Lithuania and sisters are Latvia (Balts). But Russians still holding our lands and we must set this beautiful country free and protect forever.

On the night of August 27 and 30, 1944, the British Air Force raided Koenigsberg, which killed more than 6,000 civilians and destroyed the historic city center.
Молчи в тряпочку неблагодарные
Поляк, ты ебанько!
Если русские " оккупировали" Калининград, то почему же поляки не оккупировали оставшуюся часть восточной Пруссии?
Или это другое? 😀🤪
Königsberg in Preußen.
Königsberg in Prussia.
Koningsbergen in Oost-Pruisen (jez. ol.)
Кёнигсберг - Навсегда!
Смерть большевикам! Калинин умер! Кёнигсберг жив!
@verdefull Read the history. City was destroyed by British and American aviation.
On that video I see Germany. Königsberg is a German city.
"...this city was destroyed by war and Soviet architects...'You omitted something: "Hitler." Had Germany minded its own business in the 30's and 40's, there would still be a Koenigsberg today. There would also be old Warsaw, Rotterdam, Lidice, Oradour-sur-Glane, Guernica, and a thriving Jewish culture in Europe. Instead, the majority of Germans from that time chose to blindly follow a tyrant. The moral of the story here is "you reap what you sow."
Konigsberg is the homeland of Kant, ETA Hoffmann and many other great german artists and thinkers. EU should invest in East Prussia to rebuild the old city and to shape a new russian-german friendship agreement.
Это что за новый договор о " дружбе"?
О передаче Калининграда вам, немцам убившим у нас десятки миллионов мирных граждан?
А не думаешь, что после таких мыслей, оставшаяся часть Германии окажется в составе России! Нет? Подумай. Если есть чем думать!
Die Musik passt uberhaupt nicht zu dem Video!!!
excelent video but then again with my great grandparents being from ost preussen i'm a little bias.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
turn back konigsberg to germany.
Go ask Poland to return the other parts of Prussia too then.
Хер тебе за щеку, а не Кенигсберг Германии!
С такими идеями смотри, как бы оставшаяся часть Германии не оказалась в составе России! 👍😀
@HHHPPP8 Of course they did. And Warsaw, Lodz, Stalingrad etc. Hitler and his Nazi criminals are hopefully burning in hell. A lot of people suffered terrible fates on all sides because of this monstrous ideology.
@Ascensiam Hitler and Stalin started WW2 by both invading Poland. Why do think that I have been indoctrinated? What a curious statement considering you don't know how I came about this knowledge.
@Shumastrik Thanks for the reply. Firstly, your link doesn't work for me nor can I find anything searching for Königsberg on facebook. Secondly, I don't think I would like to voice these words with my real name and information via Facebook. Happy to send some PMs in the near future though.
The whole are should be given back to the land. It be great.
Was ist die Musik?
it's amazing how russia has land from germany to japan (sakhalin). unfortunately to manage so much land organizations is needed but there is huge corruption.
Так исторически сложилось, что страна большая.
Es war eine schöne Stadt, eine Schande was daraus wurde.
@giladasaraiva your right it was the greedy bankers fault too.
@allanscot1 Leningraders paid in hundreds of times higher price.
Prusia era hermosa cuando pertenecia a los prusianos
It is so sad, that British and American aviation destroyed this city...
It is so sad, that British and American aviation destroyed it...
And you say that Russians are guilty. Read the history!
Greetings from Kaliningrad!
Как хорошо что город навсегда русский и больше никогда с восточной Пруссии не будет угроз России. Слишком много русской крови выпили немцы
И не говори
@vadimlimonov9000 Полностью согласен с тобой, друг... Саундтрек - это A Perfect Circle - Imagine.
Karaliaučius or Königsberg aren't Russians and all of Prussia aren't land of Germany, Russia or Poland, because Prussia are free contry since 12-10 thousand years ago. Their brothers are Lithuania and sisters are Latvia (Balts). But Russians still holding our lands and we must set this beautiful country free and protect forever.
Да...
Готовьтесь, прибалты!
Дали вам погулять, да видно, зря! 🐷🤪😂
@Lestadt1203
kaliningrad
@giladasaraiva
greedy bankers are to blame for a lot of todays problems as well.
if Germany didn't invade anyone the city would be still alive and if it wasn't for British aviation, its architecture could be saved as well
carsten If it wasn’t for German aviation Coventry, Hull and Bristol’s architecture would still be intact.
Hitler is not Germany, and Germany is not Hitler! Germany is the rich Kulture, the wonderful landscape, and the friendly people! and the "Heeimat" is Part of it
FREI OSTPREUSSEN!
@vadimlimonov9000
Нам жаль город. Привет из калининграда .
Привет из Светлогорска !
Он хорош уютен и красив !
Мы его любим !
@@vadimuliyanov806 👍🌺
let them stay in their current countries. who needs war again?
If germans didn't start war against Russsia,Konigsberg would stay where it is,Russians did what every normal country would do - protect its territory integrity and honor.And if your enemy is baricaded in some city,than there is no other choice than bomb it.I am not advocating russians here,but try to think objectivly -war is most ugliest act of humans and wait to something beautiful stay intact,thats a bad bet.
You lost it and you should forget it. For all you did to our folks.
Bloody awful music though.
The "bloody awful music" is an excerpt from "Songs of Travel" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
@IngoHuber
but historically germany has always been poorer then russia. so your arguement is invalid.
Kaliningrad is better then Kenigsberg cause there no Germans there. Berlin is worse then Kaliningrad with the same reason.
Кенигсберг разрушила британская авиация
@clcswitcher Read the history. "Königsberg was heavily damaged by Allied bombing in 1944 during World War II"
