Basmanny District, Administrative district in central Moscow, Russia.
The district extends northeast from Kitai-gorod with borders marked by Vorontsovo Pole Street, Yauza River, Myasnitskaya Street, and Novaya Basmannaya Street.
The German Quarter, established in the 16th century on the Yauza River bank, served as a designated settlement for European foreigners residing in Moscow.
The Church of Saint Peter and Paul, constructed between 1705 and 1723, represents early Baroque architecture and the Armenian community presence in Moscow.
The district contains multiple metro stations including Kurskaya, Chkalovskaya, Baumanskaya, and Elektrozavodskaya, with Kursky Railway Station providing regional connections.
The name Basmanny originated from Kazan Tatar terms for bread supplied to the royal court during the 15th and 16th centuries.
