The previous dwellers
on the land of New Pilsotas inhabited the other
side of the decaying castle landmarks - water walls
protecting the island city, a local castrum
romanum. Today's island city is closely associated
with blooming water plants rotting in the Dangė
in August, with a my(s)thical bust of Stalin that
was drowned, and with an imaginary, submerged flotilla
in the bastion posterns. This is a part of its
history. The island city is at the approximate
place of the Old Town of Klaipėda today. Here the
quarters have preserved the original features of
the spatial structure of the ancient city. From
the Dangė river to Didžiosios vandens street (Major
Water street), we find only one construction type,
the Lithuanian "house-possession" with
streets for the guilds structured in a very regular
way among small compact houses. At the other side
of Didžioji vandens street, there is a section
of Fridrich suburb – actually
it's rather fragnmentary as a totality. The place
where the old river Dangė was (the old landmark,
a channel filled with soil) is now occupied by
Didžioji vandens street, prophesying an unknown
flood.
