Source-derived summary

Suvorovo (Russian: Суворово) is a residential area in Moskovsky District of Kaliningrad, Russia. It was formerly known by its German language name Spandienen as first a suburban estate and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany, located southwest of the city center.

History

Spandienen was documented in 1419 as Spandyno; the name was of Old Prussian origin. Spandienen was situated along the Berliner Chaussee, northeast of Kalgen, northwest of Prappeln and southwest of Schönbusch and Ponarth.

The estate of Spandienen was in the possession of Johann Schnürlein, mayor of Kneiphof and ducal chamberlain, in 1579. Spandienen, which developed into a residential quarter in the first half of the 20th century, was incorporated into the city of Königsberg in 1928.

Königsberg was transferred to Soviet control in 1945 after World War II. Königsberg was subsequently renamed to Kaliningrad and Spandienen to Suvorovo.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Suvorovo Microdistrict” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Suvorovo, Microdistrict and microdistrict provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2370093. Authority coordinates are 54.679, 20.446. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1419, 1579, 1928 and 1945.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
