Traces of the Past

 

paved-over-cobblestones  

Some years ago I came across a Russian website where someone had posted a number of photographs of present day Kalinigrad that included things or glimpses of the original Königsberg. I attempted to contact the originator to see ifi could use some of these images on my site, but was unsuccessful. The site has long since disappeared, but I had saved it earlier, so am presenting these images now ...

I wiill provide due credit to the owner of these images if contacted with the evidence to that effect. ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )
