Karosta

Liepāja, Latvia

Karosta is a former Russian and Soviet naval base on the Baltic Sea, which today is a neighbourhood in Liepāja, Latvia. The base was built because, when the Hohenzollern Kingdom of Prussia merged into the German Empire in 1871, Nimmersatt became its northeasternmost settlement. Schoolchildren were taught the rhyme Nimmersatt, wo das Reich sein Ende hat, meaning "Nimmersatt, where the Empire ends". The village included a customs house and an inn (Kurhaus) providing shelter for travellers from and to the Russian Empire's Lithuanian provinces. Liepaja was the westernmost port.
