Neman

Neman is a town in Kaliningrad Oblast in western Russia, located near the Lithuanian border. It functions as a local administrative hub with a mix of Soviet-era and earlier European-style buildings throughout its layout.

The town was founded in the 13th century and remained part of Prussia for centuries before coming under Soviet control after World War II. Its name was changed from Tilsit to reflect its new political status after 1945.

The architectural landscape of Neman exhibits elements from its Prussian past through remaining structures and fortifications that line the streets.

The town is connected by regional roads to larger centers and has a compact layout that is easy to navigate on foot. The main streets form a straightforward grid that makes orientation simple for visitors exploring the center.

The town underwent multiple administrative transformations throughout centuries, shifting between German, Polish, Lithuanian, and Russian jurisdictions until its current status.
