You’d have a hard time finding the medieval city Königsberg on any modern maps, but one particular quirk in its geography has made it one of the most famous cities in mathematics. Dan Van der Vieren explains how grappling with Königsberg’s puzzling seven bridges led famous mathematician Leonhard Euler to invent a new field of mathematics.
Lesson by Dan Van der Vieren, animation by Artrake Studio.

No I think you are not really appreciating the genius of his discovery. The problem cannot be solved using normal mathematics. It requires something to be built up from pure logic. When he did this he found out that he can call it a new branch of mathematics because there is no other fields that this depends on. I don’t mean offence to you but would like you to know that he just did not do any gimmick and called it new maths. Euler was a great mathematician.

You still could have solved it by determining it is impossible. I paused the video for 10-15min and made a proof, though it wasn't as nice as the videos. My reasoning was that, because of symmetry the starting positions 1,2, 7 and 6 are equievlent, the same for 3 and 5. Which means checking just the starting positions 1, 3 and 4 actually checks all starting points. So I checked them and concluded it was impossible.

I just came to the conclusion that you couldn't enter and exit the city 3 without breaking the rules. There were 5 bridges in the middle, and the only way that an odd number of bridges like that on a land mass would be able to be crossed with those rules there couldn't be any other bridges on other land masses. Probably a little wrong with, but I was right in the fact it was impossible.

In German it's still sometimes called Königsberg, however the old city doesn't exist anymore. It was completely destroyed during and after the war. Kaliningrad was build almost entirely from scratch. Only some parts of the old fortifications, the cathedral and the nearby tomb of the philosopher Immanuel Kant survived. The german population fled the city or was expelled - now only former soviet ethnicities like Russians, Ukrainians, etc. live there and the area is an exclave of Russia between Poland and Lithuania.

As of 2021: "Two of the seven original bridges did not survive the bombing of Königsberg in World War II. Two others were later demolished and replaced by a modern highway. The three other bridges remain, although only two of them are from Euler's time (one was rebuilt in 1935). Thus, as of 2021, five bridges exist at the same sites that were involved in Euler's problem. In terms of graph theory, two of the nodes now have degree 2, and the other two have degree 3. Therefore, an Eulerian path is now possible, but it must begin on one island and end on the other."

My father showed me a similar puzzle 50 years ago. A single rectangle, bisected horizontally, with the upper half bisected into two even halves and the bottom half segmented into three equal boxes. I never knew this form of math had a name, and never knew you could prove that it couldn't be done. I used this video to come up with the node diagram, and proved that all the degrees were odd. (9, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3). Thank you for a most enjoyable diversion!

What is fascinating about this video is that as a Project Management professor, I paused the video at 2:11 and made the connection between the geography and a project management network diagram both being "graphs". For you PMs out there, you always had it explained to you that in looking at a network of tasks, you could go through the node or around it but not both as that was redundant. But as the networks get bigger, this becomes harder and harder to understand if you have over-constrained something. Here you go folks: Count the ins and the outs of each node. Get rid of one of edge 4 and edge 5 and one of edge 6 and edge 7. Thank you Mr. Euler. Your genius transcends the generations.

Konigsberg is long time gone. There is another city built on it's place now. Abomination that is all soviet architecture, which they now call Kaliningrad. I don't mind ruskies ruining their own cities, but why turn once beautiful Prussian capital into... whateverthefuck it is now? The worst thing is soviets didn't even try to repair the city, they just dismantled what was left for building materials. Upsets me a lot.

Koenigsberg is gone due to Adolf Hitler's mesmerizing Germans into obedient and suicidal force, to kill and destroy many places around Europe (and especially in USSR) . And due to British calousness and cruelty. Because it is not Soviets who destroyed this city but British RAF with Air Chief Marshal Arthur "Bomber" Harris in charge.

+Centurion III One is an example of the creation of an imperial colony and the other is an example of the destruction of an imperial colony. Is it ethical for the Roman empire to colonize Londinium and for Russia to colonize Kaliningrad? It's a question of ethics, and the answer is simple: if it is right for London to be English then it is right for Königsberg to be German (or the reverse).

Soviets bombing it like 4 times with few bombers but the Royal Air Force use 174 bombers first and 189 second time, dropping more than 500 tons of bombs and killing more than 4000 citizen, whole city was completely destroyed and rebuilded by Soviets. Shame on you, TechEd!

Funny thing, on that snippit of the map this guy has in the hand, there is actually a town called Königsberg, its just the Hessian one and not the Prussian one. I found that funny because that is literally the only other place which is named that way and you happened to probably randomly include it.
