In the Middle Ages Königsberg was home to the Teutonic Knights, who raided into Russia. In later years, the area would be the heart of Prussia and would become synonymous with Prussian militarism. As part of Germany, it was the center of ferocious fighting during both World Wars. The Red Army seized the area at the end of World War II and it was ceded to the USSR at the Potsdam Conference. Native Germans in the area were forcibly expelled and the area was re-populated by Russias, Belorussians, and Ukrainians.

Outside intel circles, Koernigsberg is synonymous Immanuel Kant.
