Friedrichswalde (Königsberg)

Friedrichswalde was a suburban estate and then quarter of western Königsberg, Germany. Its territory is now part of the Tsentralny District of Kaliningrad, Russia.

History

Friedrichswalde developed from a Jagdschloss, a hunting lodge built in the 1690s after a visit by Frederick III in 1690.[1] Other lodges commissioned by Frederick at the same time were Friedrichshof and Friedrichsberg. It later came into the possession of the Charisius family;[2] their tomb was decorated by Stanislaus Cauer. The estate was incorporated into the city of Königsberg on 16 June 1927.[3]

Friedrichswalde was bordered by Juditten to the southwest, Lawsken to the south, Ratshof to the southeast, and Amalienau to the east.

gollark: Yes, so do I.
gollark: I would, if possible, prefer an xenowyrm - changing the color scheme is fine.
gollark: There might be other oddly shaped ones which *do* have 12 identical faces though.
gollark: Not with regular polygons as faces!
gollark: <@!192738500934762497> This is a bit late, but I think a better 12-sided die would be dodecahedral. Unless that one already is and I can't see it.
