{{for|the Polish village known in German as Molditten|Mołdyty}}
'''Moditten''' was first a suburb of and then a [quarter](/source/Quarter_(urban_subdivision)) of [Königsberg](/source/K%C3%B6nigsberg), [Germany](/source/Germany). Its territory is now part of the [Tsentralny District](/source/Tsentralny_Administrative_District%2C_Kaliningrad) in [Kaliningrad](/source/Kaliningrad), [Russia](/source/Russia).

Moditten was located between [Juditten](/source/Mendeleyevo%2C_Kaliningrad%2C_Kaliningrad_Oblast) to the east and [Metgethen](/source/Metgethen) to the west; farther to the south along the [Pregel](/source/Pregolya) was [Holstein](/source/Holstein_(K%C3%B6nigsberg)). It was documented in 1258 as ''Maudytyn'' and in 1389 as ''Maydithen'', names of [Old Prussian](/source/Old_Prussian_language) origin.<ref>Gerullis, p. 96</ref> The ''Spittler'', an official of the [Teutonic Knights](/source/Teutonic_Knights) in charge of hospital affairs, possessed the Spittelhof manor near Moditten. It was later owned by Johann Schimmelpfennig (1604-69), a Königsberg councillor and vice-mayor of [Kneiphof](/source/Kneiphof). The philosopher [Immanuel Kant](/source/Immanuel_Kant) was good friends with the Moditten forester Wobeser; the summer house in which Kant stayed has been preserved.<ref>Gause II, p. 248</ref> Moditten's forestry house was visited by tourists and praised for its ''[Kopskiekelwein](/source/Kopskiekelwein)'', a type of [currant](/source/ribes) wine.<ref>Albinus, p. 214</ref>

Moditten was incorporated into the city of Königsberg in 1939.
