Haberberg

Haberberg was a district of Königsberg ( Prussia), south of the Old or Natangischen Pregel and south of the Kneiphof located.

Name

The name is said to derive from Haber ( oats ), who thrive on the higher corridors. After Henneberger the name should be attributed to King Ottokar, who consulted in the dispute with the Prussians: " Have wir'n mountain? " Both are likely to be wrong, because the place situated on the Vistula Lagoon Haffstrom was often written in ancient sources Haber Strohm. By analogy, should be meant by Haberberg Haffberg (mountain on the lagoon ).
