Moditten was first a suburb of and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany. Its territory is now part of the Tsentralny District in Kaliningrad, Russia.
Moditten was located between Juditten to the east and Metgethen to the west; farther to the south along the Pregel was Holstein. It was documented in 1258 as Maudytyn and in 1389 as Maydithen, names of Old Prussian origin.[1] The Spittler, an official of the Teutonic Knights in charge of hospital affairs, possessed the Spittelhof manor near Moditten. It was later owned by Johann Schimmelpfennig (1604-69), a Königsberg councillor and vice-mayor of Kneiphof. The philosopher Immanuel Kant was good friends with the Moditten forester Wobeser; the summer house in which Kant stayed has been preserved.[2] Moditten's forestry house was visited by tourists and praised for its Kopskiekelwein, a type of currant wine.[3]
Moditten was incorporated into the city of Königsberg in 1939.
