Map of Königsberg in Euler's time showing the actual layout of the seven bridges, highlighting the river Pregel and the bridges. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler, in 1736, [1] laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology. [2]
The Honey Bridge is a drawbridge, one of the seven bridges of Königsberg. Connects Oktyabrsky Island and Kneiphof. Since the Kneiphof is a pedestrian zone, the de facto bridge is also exclusively pedestrian. From time to time, the bridge is used by official vehicles (delivery of materials for the restoration of the Königsberg Cathedral, as ...
The Bristol Bridges Walk is a circular hiking route that is linked to the Königsberg bridge problem, a mathematical puzzle, which laid the foundation for graph theory, the mathematical study of networks. [2] [3] [4] The Bristol Bridges Walk presents a solution of the puzzle for the city of Bristol. [5]
[1] June: City of Königsberg expanded by uniting Altstadt, Kneiphof, and Löbenicht. [1] Königsberg City Archive is located in the Town Hall (approximate date). 1734 – 8 August: Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński stops in the city. [24] 1735 – Math problem "Seven Bridges of Königsberg" presented. 1736
Medieval Königsberg's third town was Kneiphof, which received town rights in 1327 and was located on an island of the same name in the Pregolya, south of Altstadt. The 14th-century Königsberg Cathedral. Within the state of the Teutonic Order, Königsberg was the residence of the marshal, one of the chief administrators of the military order. [16]
Graph Theory, 1736–1936 is a book in the history of mathematics on graph theory.It focuses on the foundational documents of the field, beginning with the 1736 paper of Leonhard Euler on the Seven Bridges of Königsberg and ending with the first textbook on the subject, published in 1936 by Dénes Kőnig.
Lastadie warehouses. The oldest docks of Königsberg were located on an island then known as Vogtswerder within the Pregel River. The 1286 charter of Altstadt allowed the town to build these initial docks (later known as the Kai, meaning quay) on the western coast of the island, connected to Altstadt by the Grüne Brücke (Green Bridge).

Just north of the Viehmarkt was the Hohe Brücke, a bridge connecting to the island quarter of Lomse. By the Rathäusliche Reglement of 13 June 1724, King Frederick William I of Prussia merged Kneiphof and Haberberg into the united city of Königsberg. [ 2 ]
