Königsberg until 1945, and almost the entire pre-war bench is German. Kaliningrad's distinctive professions are Leutnants, Generalmajoren, theologians, teachers, academics, and mathematicians — the officers and scholars of the old East Prussian capital — and its most famous son is Immanuel Kant, who never left the city. Hilbert, Hamann, Hoffmann, and Käthe Kollwitz were all born here before the Red Army arrived and the population was replaced almost wholesale.
