This 1994 book has a chapter about the author's struggles in getting locals to open up about the city's past and their experiences: Between East and West - Across the Borderlands of Europe (Holy crap that's expensive... find it at a library! WorldCat.org is your friend!) The rest of the book is interesting as well, though Kaliningrad/Koenigsburg is only mentioned in it's own chapter.
And here are some cool old maps of the city!

I'd love to visit too! Sadly it follows the Russian rules of needing a tourist visa. If only they made it as easy as just hopping on a train from Poland or Lithuania... maybe someday.
Last but not least, here's a link to FamilySearch/LDS' holdings that reference Kaliningrad: Family Search - Kaliningrad Records. The holdings look like they're mainly in German and a few in Polish. There's only 1 census (from 1939), but the older taxation and church records might be useful for you.
