Deutsche Strasse (now Gagarin Street) is the oldest street in Tilsit. It developed from the road that connected the castles of Tilsit and Splitter. Over time, all Tilsit nobility began to build stone houses on it. On the 16th-century map of Tilsit, Deutsche Strasse is the longest and widest road. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, the street was renamed several times. In 1540, it was called Lange Hasse, which in German means “long alley”. When the settlement of Tilje received town rights in 1552, it was renamed to Deutsche Hasse (translated as “German alley”). Later, the name was changed to Deutsche Strasse — “German street”. After World War II, the first settlers began to call it Shirokaya Street, then built it up with five-story buildings and renamed it Gagarin Street.

The buildings there were built in a remarkably minimalistic and restrained manner, as befits an old European shopping street. The facades of the houses are devoid of grandeur. The architects of these buildings were not fond of ancient classical forms and historicism. But as compensation for this, the street was rewarded with amazing proportions and balanced architectural structures. The high roofs and barely segmented facades of the houses created the original silhouette of the street, where perfect tranquility reigned. Here is an example of the description of Alexander I’s residence at 3, Deutsche Strasse, written by Denis Davydov:

#2

The house, which the sovereign occupied, was situated in a broad street, about fifty or one hundred yards away from the house occupied by Napoleon. It had two stories, albeit of rather small size, and a front porch, though rather small, but ornamented with four columns. The entrance to this porch was straight from the street, by three or four steps, between two of the middle columns of its facade. This porch adjoined a rather spacious anteroom, which had three exits: one to the right and one to the left rooms of the lower floor, and the third, directly, to a rather neat and tidy staircase, leading to the upper floor, inhabited by the sovereign himself. On this floor to the right was a parlor in symmetry with the sovereign’s inner chamber and connected with it by a passage room, from which there was a door to a balcony, supported by the columns of the front porch.
