context_page_description: Neurossgarten was a quarter of northwestern Königsberg, Germany. Its territory is now part of Kaliningrad, Russia.
context_section_description: Neurossgarten was bounded by Steindamm to the east and Laak to the south. To the west and north were the streets Deutschordensring (formerly Krausenecksche Wallstraße) and Kniprodestraße (formerly Alte Gasse), followed by the early 17th century Baroque city walls. Beyond the walls was Mittelhufen.
  Neurossgarten Church was a 17th-century Protestant church located in central Neurossgarten. Nearby marketplaces included the Strohmarkt and the Heumarkt.
  Also located in the quarter were the Botanischer Garten and the Volksgarten, numbering among the few parks within the medieval walls. The former was a botanical garden planned by Johann Georg Scheffner in 1796 and opened west of the church in 1809. The Botanischer Garten was separated from the Volksgarten to the west by the street Steindammer Wallstraße. Located within the Volksgarten were the Königsberg Observatory and the 1877 Kriegerdenkmal, a war memorial honoring soldiers killed during the Franco-Prussian War.
  Friedrich Bessel, Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder, and Franz Ernst Neumann were buried in Neurossgarten's Ehrenfriedhof cemetery.
