Imeni Alexandra Kosmodemyanskogo (Russian: и́мени Алекса́ндра Космодемья́нского) is a residential area in Tsentralny Administrative District of the city of Kaliningrad in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. It was formerly known by its German language name Metgethen as first a suburb of and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany, located west of the city center.
Located in the Kaporner Heath north of the Vistula Lagoon, the village of Metgethen was first mentioned in Teutonic chronicles in 1278 as Myntigeite. At the time, Landmeister Konrad von Thierberg granted part of the farmland to an Old Prussian named Regune. The name "Metgethen" was carried by the estate's owners until 1482, when the last of that name married his daughter to Christoph von Röder, a commander from the Thirteen Years' War and ancestor of Erhard Ernst von Röder. Its manor was constructed ca. 1760 by an Italian architect.
