German Quarter, Historical district in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia.
The German Quarter extends along the right bank of the Yauza River, between Dobroslobodskaya Street and Bolshoy Demidovsky Lane in northeast Moscow.
Established in the mid-16th century as a settlement for Western European prisoners from the Livonian War, the district transformed into a center for foreign merchants.
The neighborhood contained three Lutheran churches, two Calvinist churches, and the first silk manufactory in Moscow during the late 17th century.
The district maintains its historical street layout with Baumanskaya Street, formerly known as Nemetskaya Street, serving as the main thoroughfare.
Peter the Great frequently visited this district to learn European customs and technologies, leading to significant reforms in Russian society.
