SiloXP
With the sea harbors, the former �Hanse� city offered a mainly agricultural province an excellent infrastructure. Deep harbor basins and canals, bridges and cranes, ships of all nationalities, medieval warehouses and big modern buildings, including the biggest silo in Europe in 1897, shaped the city. Connected to the Baltic Sea by the sea canal, Koenigsberg obtained the world top position in the trade of legumes and was leading the trade of grain and timber in Germany

The establishment of the Polish Corridor after World War I cut the city off from the German Empire and led to a severe economic downturn. From 1929 to 1941 the German Eastern Fair was intended to keep the Easternprussian economy in the mind of the rest of the empire. Many exhibits showcasing businesses from that time refer to the fair. Many exhibits especially businesses from that time refer to the fair.
