History
The Lefortovo District commemorates the name of a close associate of Tsar Peter the Great (), François Lefort (1656-1699), whose troops were stationed nearby at the German Quarter. Lefortovo is considered to have been founded in 1699. In the 18th century it was home to Annenhof, , Sloboda Palace, and the Catherine Palace. In later centuries, the district hosted troops and military organizations, and also became heavily industrialized.
The present-day Lefortovo has a reputation for the Lefortovo Prison, Lefortovo Park and the Lefortovo Tunnel on the Third Ring. Several higher-educational institutions are located in Lefortovo, such as the Moscow Power Engineering Institute as well as the Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital.
