Kings Gate

The King's Gate is one of the previous six entryways that were worked amid the nineteenth century around Kaliningrad. The King's Gate was initially the Gumbinnen Gate, worked in 1765 at the edge of the region Neue Sorge. In 1811 it was renamed the King's Gate and was the end of the Konigstrabe road. The entryway was upgraded by Friedrich August Stuler in 1850. The west exterior has three sandstone statues, made by stone carver Wilhelm Sturmer: nine meters over the ground to one side the Bohemian lord Ottokar II is portrayed, who was Konigsberg's namesake. Frederick I of Prussia, Prussia's first ruler, takes after as the center statue. To the correct Albert, Prussia's first duke and organizer of the Albertina college, holds an eye over the city.

Over the models the escutcheon of Samland and Natangen are appeared. The door was harmed amid the Second World War. Moreover, as a first triumph festivity, Soviet warriors beheaded the statues. With the festival of the city's 750-year presence in June 2005, the door was remodeled. A couple of months before the start of the celebrations, the door was still in a destroy condition. Inside half a month, in any case, the entryway was reestablished to its condition before the war. Completely reestablished statues supplanted the beheaded ones on the door with this redesign.
