| Andere Informationen | The tramway system in Kaliningrad was reopened on 7 November 1946. Eventually the operation was extended to almost the entire tram system, which had been in operation in Königsberg until 1945. The tramway system was reopened with the surviving parts of the German rolling stock, which has been delivered by the Waggonfabrik Steinfurt AG in Königsberg in 1924-1931. Most parts of the system remaining from Königsberg were gradually reopened under the new Soviet government. The gauge of the tramway system is 1000 mm, and the Soviet industry did not manufacture tramway vehicles for systems other than those, which applied Russian standard gauge of 1524 mm. The deliveries of new trams to Kaliningrad, therefore, came from the manufactures in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and Czechoslovakia. The pre war rolling stock was gradually replaced from 1955 with new vehicles imported from the VEB Waggonbau Gotha. From 1971 the system was modernised with vehicles of the standard type T4SU. Until 1979 a total of 223 vehicles were delivered to Kaliningrad (nos. 101-323). Due to the poor level of maintenance, the first withdrawals of these vehicles began as early as 1977 (nos. 109 and 114). In 1987-1994 a total of 41 articulated trams of the czech standard type KT4SU were delivered to Kaliningrad. In July 2009 the tram & trolleybus enterprise (TTU) was merged with the municipal bus company (PATP), forming a new entity: Kaliningrad-Gortrans | |||
