For nearly seven centuries, the streets of this Baltic city had names. German names, carried in deeds and directories and family letters, given by the merchants and craftsmen and citizens who built the city block by block. Then, in 1945, most of those names disappeared from maps overnight.
This site exists to document what they were, where they ran, and what they are called today.
