Große Kurfürsten Damm Infrastruktūra
56
The approximately 4 km long west-east oriented forest road marked on the maps of the First World War started at the former Kurland Denkmal (Kurland Denkmal) or later popularly known as the Mother's Monument and ended at two roads (passable in nature) Hütten Straße and Morgen Straße junctions. Approximately 2 km long, it stretches as a straight forest-dirt road, 0.8 km - a gravel road (coincides with the Egles - Kaulupes road formed by the Latvian State Forests), and the rest - a road that cannot be driven by road transport, but can be walked in nature or can be driven on a bicycle - since. Judging by another map (Zusamendruck Riga, 1: 100,000) and LIDAR maps, a World War I German army camp or warehouse (Lager) was located at the junction of the Great Kurfirst Dam and Morgen Straße.
It is thought that the name, which was born here during the stay of the German army during the First World War, comes from Kurfürstendamm - the name of one of the central avenues of Berlin (in memory of the Elector of Brandenburg), which today is a popular sightseeing and shopping place for tourists. The name of the avenue was first mentioned between 1767 and 1787.

Life on the Kegums side during World War II
Memories of a distant wartime flare up. For the older generation, it would remind them of their own experiences, perhaps bored of the young.
