        🌅 Jubilee Bridge
        между Октябрьской и Эпроновской ул.
        A pedestrian drawbridge by the Fishing Village — the best view of the cathedral and the half-timbered embankment.
        After dinner, go to the Jubilee Bridge: in the dark the lit-up cathedral and half-timbering are reflected in the water.

        • The bridge opened on 1 July 2005 for the city’s 750th anniversary — hence the name.
        • It stands on the piers of the 1905 Imperial Bridge, destroyed in the war.
        • The middle span lifts to let boats through.
        • The Jubilee Bridge is narrower than its predecessor — 6 metres instead of 11 — but higher, so small boats pass without it opening.

        🚶 Fishing Village
        Октябрьская ул., 2–12
        A quarter built in imitation of pre-war half-timbering on the bank of the Pregolya: an embankment, a lighthouse and restaurants serving Baltic fish.
        Stroll along the evening embankment to the Honey Bridge.

        • The Fishing Village is not a reconstruction but a modern pastiche of the half-timbered architecture of pre-war Königsberg.
        • Work on the first phase began in May 2006 and was mostly finished by 2010.
        • The quarter stands on Oktyabrsky Island — Lomse Island before 1945; “lomse” means “marsh” in Old Prussian.
        • The embankment runs along the Pregolya from the Honey Bridge to the High Bridge.

        🖼 Königsberg Cathedral
        ул. Канта, 1
        🎟 ticket · organ concerts need separate tickets
        A 14th-century Gothic cathedral on Kant Island: inside are a museum of the philosopher and an organ hall, and outside by the wall is his grave.
        In the evening we see the cathedral from outside — it looks especially good lit up. If you catch an evening organ concert, tickets are sold at the ticket office.

        • Work on the cathedral on Kneiphof island began after 1327, and its “birthday” is taken to be 13 September 1333 — its first mention in documents.
        • It is Baltic brick Gothic — one of the few Gothic buildings in Russia.
        • Immanuel Kant was buried by the cathedral in 1804: he was the last to be laid in the professors’ vault of the Albertina University.
        • The colonnaded portico “Stoa Kantiana” over the philosopher’s grave was built by the architect Friedrich Lahrs for his 200th anniversary in 1924.
        • From 1650 the Wallenrodt Library was kept in the south tower; its interior was restored in 2005.
        • In August 1944 British bombers destroyed the centre of Königsberg; the cathedral ruins were not demolished in Soviet times — Kant is buried by its walls.
        • Restoration of the cathedral began in 1992; in 1994 the tower spire was set in place by a Baltic Fleet helicopter.
        • There are no services in the cathedral now: it holds the Kant museum, an organ hall and two chapels — a Lutheran and an Orthodox one.
