Abstract
To commemorate the three-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Leonhard Euler (1707–83) the author outlines the history of one of Euler's most famous and most easily understood contributions to mathematics, the problem concerning the Bridges of Königsberg, and describes a modern Eulerian walk over the bridges of present-day Kaliningrad, Russia. This article is a shortened form of Mallion (2007), but with the addition of a Postscript.
