history
The Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft had the Stargard-Danzig railway line built by 1870 , which runs through Gdynia. The Prussian State Railways , which took over the route in 1880, opened a train station , but only in 1884 in Gdynia, which increasingly established itself as a summer resort. A Gdańsk bathing company built a spa house and a bathing establishment on the beach in Gdańsk Bay and in 1904 a paved road to the train station, at that time Kurstrasse (ulica Kuracyjna; since 1929 ulica 10 Lutego ).
After Gdynia was ceded to the Second Polish Republic in January 1920, the place, now called Gdynia, still had a rail connection, but the route only led through either German or Freetown-Danzig state territory into the Polish hinterland. In the years 1920/1921 the PKP - Polish State Railways therefore built the new Gdynia Główna – Kościerzyna (Gdynia – New World – Gluckau – Kokoszki) line, the line from Danzig – Langfuhr –Zuckau – Karthaus , which was built around the turn of the century ( Kartuzy ) joined. From Zuckau (Żukowo) there was then a connection to the Polish inland rail network without crossing the border. The connection of this route to Langfuhr is interrupted today by the Gdansk Airport in the Tricity of Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia.
In 1923 Romuald Miller built a larger station building for the PKP as part of the expansion of Gdynia into a city with a seaport, which was destroyed in World War II. From 1950 to 1955, according to plans by Wacław Tomaszewski, today's building was built in the style of socialist realism , one of the few buildings of this style period in Gdynia.
