Tragheimsdorf was a northern part of Königsberg, Germany; today it is part of Kaliningrad, Russia. It began as a small village north of Tragheim, along the western shore of the Oberteich. It joined Königsberg in 1908 and grew into a new district after the Tragheim Gate was removed in 1911. It bordered Tragheim to the south, Vorderhufen to the west, and Tragheimer Palve to the north. Many streets were named after battles from the War of the Sixth Coalition, such as Tauroggen, Großgörschen, Dennewitz, Probstheida, Wartenburg, and Nollendorf. Auguste-Viktoria-Allee honored Empress Augusta Victoria, and Cäcilienallee honored Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Samitter Allee led to Tragheimer Palve. The Handelshochschule was the only business school of its kind in eastern Germany at the time. Along the eastern shore of the Oberteich stood the Prussia Badeanstalt, a public bath.
