Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin 1820 -21, S. 305) 1 VORWORT Herr Prof. Dr, Peter Scheibert, der diese Arbeit anregte, wachte väter­ lich über ihrem Entstehen und langsamen Voranschreiten. Zahlreiche Ge­ spräche mit den Herren Priv. -Doz, Dr. Gottfried Schramm und Wiss. -Rat Dr. Erik Amburger gaben wertvolle Anregungen und Hinweise. Diesen Her­ ren gilt mein erster und tiefer Dank. Im Jahre 1964 wurde dann diese Arbeit als Dissertation von der Philo­ sophischen Fakultät der Philipps-Universität zu Marburg angenommen. Zu danken habe ich auch dem Herder-Forschungsrat für die Drucklegung und seinem Mitarbeiter Herrn Lothar Schmidtke für seine verlegerischen Hilfen. Zu Dank verpflichtet bin ich auch den Herren Staatsarchivdirektoren Dr. Kurt Forstreuter und Dr. Hans Koeppen, sowie Herrn Archivverwal­ ter Georg Soika (alle am Staatlichen Archivlager Göttingen), die mit Rat und Tat dem unerfahrenen Benutzer zur Seite standen. Das Historische Colloquium Göttingen gewährte dem Fremdling häufig Gastrecht. Die Familie Schmiedemeister Fritz Weiershäuser, Marbach bei Marburg, gab mir eine neue Heimat, Es soll ihr nicht vergessen wer­ den. 2 EINLEITUNG Die jüdischen Bewohner Königsbergs fanden bereits ihre Historiographien. Saalschütz veröffentlichte 1857-59 in der Monatsschrift für Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judenthums einen großen Aufsatz "Zur Geschichte der Sy­ nagogen-Gemeinde in Königsberg". Ein Jahrzehnt später erschien die "Ge­ schichte der Juden in Königsberg i.Pr." von Heimann Jolowicz. Jolowicz übernahm zahlreiche Ergebnisse der Arbeit von Saalschütz, ohne sie be­ sonders zu kennzeichnen, Saalschütz sah nur die entwürdigende Behand­ lung der Juden in den ersten Dezennien des 18. Jahrhunderts. Sein Nach­ folger beschrieb in kräftigen Farben das allgemeine Anwachsen von Auf­ geklärtheit bis zur erfreulichen Höhe seiner Tage. Zu völlig neuen Wer­ tungen kam Selma Stern in ihrem großen Werk "Der Preußische Staat und die Juden". Ihr Buch behandelt die gesamte Monarchie, so konnten Kö­ nigsberg und Ostpreußen nur kurz gestreift werden. Die Quellen zum zwei­ ten Band, die Selma Stern aus Ostpreußen geben wollte, gingen im Wüten der Kristallnacht verloren. Die östlichen Provinzen des preußischen Staates hatten bis an die Wen­ de zum 18, Jahrhundert keine jüdischen Einwohner, Erst in dieser Zeit entstanden Gemeinden in Berlin, Königsberg und in anderen Provinzstäd­ ten. Der Monarch schloß mit einzelnen möglichst wohlhabenden Juden Privatverträge mit öffentlich-rechtlicher Wirkung, die ihren Aufenthalt legalisierten. Für die nötigen rituellen Verrichtungen wurden auch arme Juden ins Land gelassen, aber minderprivilegiert. Die Generaljudenprivi­ legien von 1730, bzw. 1750 normierten bis zum gewissen Grade dieses In- dividualverhältnis. Da in Preußen Juden nur in Königsberg wohnen durften - die Sonderprivilegierung der Familie Moses de Jonge in Memel kann unbe­ rücksichtigt bleiben - kam es hier nicht zu landtagsähnlichen Versamm­ lungen zum Zwecke der Steuerausschreibung und -Verteilung wie in ande­ ren Landesteilen der Monarchie. Jüdische Zünfte, wie wir sie aus dem be­ nachbarten Polen kennen, bildeten sich nicht wegen der geringen Zahl der handwerkstreibenden Juden. Der mosaische Kultus bedarf keiner eigentlichen gottesdienstlichen Ein­ richtungen, Der preußische Fiskus vereinigte die Judenschaft eines Ortes ungeachtet ihres heftigen Widerstrebens zu einer Zwangsgemeinde, die ei­ ne Mischung von religiösem und steuerlichem Verband darstellte. Die Juden bildeten durch ihre eigene Sprache, dem Jiddischen, ihre alt­ polnische Tracht und durch feste soziale Bindungen eine eigene, streng von der christlichen Umwelt geschiedene Kolonie. Im Verlauf des 18. Jahrhun­ derts und beim Zerfall der alten ständischen Ordnungen zerbrach auch die 3 jüdische Sonderhaltung. Aus den jüdischen Kolonisten in Preußen wurden preußische Staatsbürger mosaischen Bekenntnisses, In Grenzräumen der Ge­ sellschaft und in Ausnahmesituationen konnten Teile des Judentums Eingang in die Welt des gebildeten Bürgertums finden. Das Emanzipationsedikt vom 11. März 1812 beseitigte weitgehend die juristische Sonderstellung der Ju­ den in Preußen.

Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda).

    chapter 4 The Procedure in the Livonian Courts of the Swedish Era 4.1 The Classification of Cases into Civil and Criminal In modern law, criminal law involves crimes and punishments, whereas civil law does not. Procedurally, a public prosecutor initiates criminal cases, where- as private parties pursue civil cases. Medieval and early modern law carried slightly different distinctions. In legal literature, delicts were divided into civil and criminal types. Benedict Carpzov, the leading German scholar, enumerated several features separating civil law delicts from actual crimes. Civil delicts carried “civil” punishments (bürgerliche Strafe), such as fines, whereas crimes carried “painful” punish- ments (peinliche Strafe), such as maiming or death. As for civil delicts, the defendant could not normally be taken into pre-trial custody (incarceratus), except when not able to place a warranty (“incarceratus sub cautione fidejusso- ria est”). Torture could only be used in criminal cases. Contrary to civil delicts, criminal cases could never be decided on circumstantial evidence or violent presumption alone.1 Civil delicts were dealt with through the help of adver- sarial (also called accusatorial) procedure, whereas criminal delicts called for inquisitorial procedure. Livonian statutory law did not quite follow the teachings of gemeines Recht, which Carpzov typically represents. Criminal cases in the Middle Ages were still not clearly distinguished from civil cases. The Mittlerer Livländischer Rit- terrecht, Chapter 77 stated: “Es darf der Richter nicht über das, was nicht vor Gericht ausgeklaget wird, Recht sprechen,” and “wo kein Kläger ist, da ist kein Richter.” Thus, without a plaintiff, there was no case. During the Swedish pe- riod, criminal procedure had evolved to become status-based.

  • (Or Seven) Bridges of Kaliningrad: a Personal Eulerian Walk, 2006
    MATCH MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 58 (2007) 529-556 Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry ISSN 0340 - 6253 The Six (or Seven) Bridges of Kaliningrad: a Personal Eulerian Walk, 2006 R. B. Mallion School of Physical Sciences, University of Kent, Canterbury, England, U.K. E-Mail Address: [email protected] (Received June 1, 2007) Abstract The eighteenth-century problem of the Bridges of Königsberg was solved in a memoir dated 1736 and written by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707í1783) soon after he had been appointed to the senior Chair of Mathematics at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Euler demonstrated that what is now called an Eulerian Walk (that is, a route that traverses all of the bridges once, and once only) was not possible in contemporary Königsberg. Soon after the Conferences of Yalta and Potsdam had assigned the city and its environs to the Soviet Union after World War II, Königsberg came to be known as the city of Kaliningrad (Ʉɚɥɢɧɢɧɝɪɚɞ), capital of the Kaliningrad Oblast, which, since the early 1990s, has found itself as an exclave of the present-day Russian Federation, isolated from mainland Russia by the newly independent republic of Lithuania (and, beyond that, Latvia and Belarus). Furthermore, the Kaliningrad Oblast’s only other adjoining neighbour is Poland which, like Lithuania, has been a Member of the European Union since 1 May 2004. This state of affairs thus determines that the Kaliningrad Oblast is, these days, doubly anomalous, in that it is not only an exclave of the Russian Federation but (simultaneously) it is also a foreign enclave within the European Union.

  • The Bridges of Königsberg - a Historical Perspective
    THE BRIDGES OF KÖNIGSBERG - A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE by Irina Gribkovskaia1, Øyvind Halskau sr1 and Gilbert Laporte2 1 Molde University College, Postbox 2110, N-6402 Molde, Norway (irina.gribkovskaia, [email protected]) 2 Canada Research Chair in Distribution Management, HEC Montréal, 3000 chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, Canada H3T 2A7 ([email protected]) Abstract The Bridges of Königsberg is one of the most famous problems in graph theory. In the summer of 2005, two of the authors visited Königsberg, now called Kaliningrad. This article provides geographical and historical information on Königsberg and its bridges, as well as updated information on the current day situation. Key-words: graph theory, arc routing, history, Euler. 1. Introduction The Bridges of Königsberg is one the most famous problems in graph theory and is a standard feature of textbooks in the area of arc routing. In the early 18th century, the inhabitants of Königsberg, now called Kaliningrad, debated whether there existed a closed walk that crossed exactly once each of the seven bridges of the river Pregel. The problem was solved by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), who was at that time a chair of mathematics at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. He proved that no such walk could exist and reported his findings in Euler (1736). This article contains a drawing, which is reproduced in Newman (1953) and to which we have added geographical designations (Figure 1). Figure 1. Euler’s drawing of the bridges of Königsberg in 1736 To solve the problem, Euler drew an undirected graph (Figure 2) in which the four vertices represent Altstadt and Löbnicht (A) located on the north shore of the Pregel, Vorstadt (V) located on the south shore, and the two islands of Kneiphof (K) and Lomse (L).

The authors tackle the issues of the economic OF THE INSTITUTIONAL history of amber, the role of the Hansa League in the development of medieval ECONOMIC HISTORY trade, the QWERTY-effects in the rail Ö gauge standards, and the peculiarities of OF K NIGSBERG/KALININGRAD the development of the Kaliningrad region in the post-Soviet period. Key words: economic history, institutional analysis, Kaliningrad region, socio- economic development. In order to understand the connection between modern Russia and mod- ern Europe one should recall the history of their relations. Those who can adequately understand the past, will understand the present and foresee the future. Thus, the key to the understanding of the problem of Europe-Russia relations, in our opinion, is the institutional economic history, i. e. history perceived as a science that deals with the processes of development of the "game rules", which determine relations between people. The book "Russia and Europe: path-dependence (an institutional analysis of the history of eco- nomic development)" [6] recently published in Kaliningrad is our attempt to analyse the global economic history as a process of institutional competition — the global competition of economic systems and institution. It is the competi- tion which acts as a certain framework for the partially conscious, partially spontaneous selection of the most effective ways of the socioeconomic de- velopment of humanity.

  • Post-Soviet Kaliningraders and Place Identity - an Autoethnographic Approach
    Post-Soviet Kaliningraders and Place Identity - an Autoethnographic Approach By Jack Butler Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erzsébet Strausz CEU eTD Collection Word Count: 14,115 Budapest, Hungary 2019 Abstract This thesis explores how young Kaliningraders navigate their own identities in relation to the mixed heritage of the city they inhabit. Such an exploration, however, is constructed through my own perceptions, and as such autoethnography is used to ensure that the fallacy of the divide between researcher and research is not maintained. The work places the identities of young Kaliningraders within a larger conversation regarding constructivist theories of national identity formation. More specifically, Kaliningrad’s architecture, and a related theory of place identity, will form the prism through which identity is constructed on the individual level. CEU eTD Collection Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Erzsébet Strausz for guiding me through this process, giving me the faith to pursue an unorthodox approach and for always having an answer for the doubts I had. I am also grateful to all the people I interviewed and spent time with during my fieldwork, and particular the kind Instagram user, without whose help I could not have heard so many stories. Finally, I would like to thank Freya Cumberlidge for her unwavering support, and Sergey Chebotar for his patience.

  • Naragon (2016), Kant's Life
    1 Kant’s Life Steve Naragon However brief the sketch of Kant’s life, one generally learns at least three things: he never married, he never traveled, and he ordered his life so rigidly that the housewives of Königsberg could set their clocks to his daily walks. Like the spare lines of a caricature, these provide some sense of the man, but one could also point out in reply that Kant was by no means the first bachelor in the history of philosophy nor the only bachelor in Königsberg; that Kant actually managed to get out of town quite often, if not very far; and that only in his later years, when it appeared that his life-ambitions were outstripping his life, did he buckle-down and fashion himself into something more like a machine. The following will add some shading to those spare lines.1 Kant’s early education Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), arguably the most important Western philosopher since the Middle Ages, was born into a home of very modest means, at the far eastern end of the Baltic Sea in the bustling port city of Königsberg (now the Russian city of Kaliningrad). He was the fourth child and first surviving son in his family, with one older and three younger sisters and a younger brother who survived into adulthood.2 He was born the same year as Königsberg itself, which had been formed by consolidating the three medieval towns of Kneiphof (a small island located where the New and Old Pregel rivers met), Altstadt (to the north), and Löbenicht (to the east).
