ENThe article analyses the activities of the Royal German Society in Königsberg in the 18th century. On the basis of extant articles and publications of the leaders of the Society, the article unfolds the circumstances of founding of the Society, its structure, members, the principle of the organization of its activities, the most significant research works in the fields of the Prussian language, history and the Lithuanian literature. Among the most prolific researches in these fields were the leaders of the Society Johann Jacob Quandt, Johann Georg Bock, Georg Christoph Pisanski, Georg Ernst Sigismund Hennig a.o. The historical and philological works of Gottfried Ostermeyer signified a transition from Prussian studies to Lithuanistics. The works of the society were published in the scientific serial Preussisches Archiv (was published for 9 years). Unfortunately, some parts of the serial are lost. The extant parts deserve an attentive and positive evaluation of the historians of the literature of the Ancient Lithuania. The article raises the issue of republishing more valuable lithuanistic publications from Preussisches Archiv. [From the publication]
