        Is this last list of cities meant for the Modern Germany?  If so,
then there is a problem with "Konigsberg", namely that it is no
longer under control of Germany and its now officially known as
"Kaliningrad".  Since the end of the Soviet Union, it may have
reverted to its original name as did St. Petersburg, but my
current understanding is that it (as the major city of the East
Prussia province) is still controlled by Russia.  If I'm wrong
about the current status of East Prussia, please let me know.
