weitere InformationThe Wallenrodt Library (Wallenrodtsche Bibliothek) of Königsberg Cathedral was established by the 17th century ducal chancellor Martin von Wallenrodt (1570–1632), whose first collection of 3,000 volumes was destroyed by fire in 1623. Martin began a second collection which reached 2,000 volumes by his death and was then continued by his son, Johann Ernst von Wallenrodt (1632–1696), who added another 1,000 volumes. Ernst von Wallenrodt (1651–1735) donated 2,000 more volumes in 1718.
Librarians included the professor Christian Heinrich Gütther (worked 1738-55), Johann Heinrich Daniel Moldenhawer (worked 1756-63), Carl Andreas Christiani (worked 1763-80), law professor Wilhelm Bernhard Jester (worked 1780-85), and Georg Ernst Sigismund Hennig . Rudolf Reicke counted 10,334 volumes, including 200 manuscripts and 85 incunabula.
The Wallenrodt Library was incorporated into the State and University Library in 1909, with 7,000 volumes taken by the Mitteltragheim facility and 3,500 volumes remaining in Königsberg Cathedral. The latter were destroyed by the August 1944 bombing of Königsberg in World War II.
