Victory Square (Russian: Площадь победы, Ploshchad Pobedy) is the central square in Kaliningrad, Russia. Prior to 1945, the square was part of Königsberg, Germany. Steindamm Gate, part of the city's northwestern Baroque city walls, was dismantled in 1912 to allow development of the area between Steindamm and the Hufen suburbs.
The building is today used by a business enterprise. The ruin of the "Haus der Technik" was rebuilt in the late 1990s, and is currently in use as a business center. The Handelshof is now Kaliningrad City Hall.
