Russia cannot be grasped by reason, nor measured by a common yardstick: she has her own bearing — in Russia one can only believe.

— Fyodor Tyutchev (1866)

Northern East Prussia — today the Kaliningrad Oblast

Do you have ancestors from this region?
Are you a horse lover, interested in Trakehnen?
Are you interested in the country and its people?

Then we cordially invite you.

Discover with us the northern part of the former province of East Prussia. We gladly visit the places of ancestors and also search for the traces of vanished villages.

We have detailed cartographic material — for example, old Prussian survey maps (Messtischblätter) and population registers. Many small localities were not resettled after 1945 — nature has taken these places back. We are also equipped for searches under difficult conditions: we have the necessary equipment and an off-road vehicle.

For entry into the now Russian part of East Prussia you need a visa. It can be obtained quickly and without bureaucracy — we are glad to advise and assist you in the process. We will also give you advice for a comfortable journey.

Please tell us the place names — we will undertake the search. We will then prepare an individual travel proposal.
