My German might be a bit rusty, but isn't Burg - Castle and Berg - Mountain ?

The easiest way to remember how to spell it correctly is to use either of the two words for it in the native languages of people that have ruled it - Калининград or Königsberg. :-) > > The Russian name, when transliterated into English, is Kaliningrad, and the German name means King's Mountain. Just to complement this off-topic thread: Kaliningrad can be translated as City of Kalinin. Kalinin was Russian communist, Stalin's co-worker. Polish name was Królewiec or Królówgród, which is PARTIALLY similar to Koenigsberg (Król = Koenig = King) (Gród=town/city=Burg <> Berg). So German equivalent name should be (but it's NOT) KoeningsBURG. BTW: Immanuel Kant lived there. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul.
