The King’s Gate was, to common conviction, one of the most beautiful in the city. The present King’s Gate inherited its name from the older gates, which were located in the same place. Initially, the Calthof Gate was situated at this place. In 1717, they were demolished, and at the time of Königsberg’s entry into Russia during the Seven Years War, the gate was re-constructed by Russian engineers. Originally, these gates were called Gumbinnen, because just in Gumbinnen (now Gusev) there was a road passing through them. In 1811 the gates were renamed the King’s after the name of the street on which they were located (German Königstrasse).
