Victory Square, Kaliningrad

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ploshchad Pobedy (Russian: ("Victory Square")) is a central square in Kaliningrad. Up until 1934 the square was named Hansaplatz, and during Nazi Germany the square was known as Adolf-Hitler-Platz. Because the old K nigsberg city centre was destroyed during the war, the post-war city developed around Ploshchad Pobedy. Today one can find many banks, shops, malls, and the city government in the neighbourhood of the square. The former North railway station, which was built in 1930, currently is a Business centre. The new city hall, built by Hans Hopp in 1923, still functions as the seat of the city administration.
