The city of Königsberg in Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia) was set on both sides of the Pregel River, and included two large islands—Kneiphof and Lomse—which were connected to each other, and to the two mainland portions of the city, by seven bridges. The problem was to devise a walk through the city that would cross each of those bridges ...
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]
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]
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 ...
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).

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.
The bridge problem inspired the Bristol Bridges Walk. Like Konigsberg Bristol spans the two banks of a river and two river islands. The Bristol Bridges walk is an Eulerian cycle crossing all 45 major bridges in the city. It has been the subject of the several articles in newspapers and magazines, and there is a book about the walk.
Multigraphs of both Königsberg Bridges and Five room puzzles have more than two odd vertices (in orange), thus are not Eulerian and hence the puzzles have no solutions. Every vertex of this graph has an even degree. Therefore, this is an Eulerian graph. Following the edges in alphabetical order gives an Eulerian circuit/cycle.
