==History== thumb|Public baths along the pond Hammerteich. The estate Propsthof, in the broad Hufen region between Altstadt and Lawsken, was established by the Teutonic Knights. In 1533 Altstadt Church sold Propsthof to the Altstadt councilor Bernhard Betner. The estate was subsequently known as Ratshubenhof and then Ratshof; it is unknown if it was renamed in honor of Betner himself or the Altstadt town council (Rat). It was also known as Altstädtischer Ratshof to differentiate it from Kneiphöfischer Ratshof near Rosenau in southern Königsberg. In 1586 Ratshof was owned by Urban Rodemann.
