Geographical location

history

At the time of the Teutonic Order State of Prussia , the place was called Heigsternest . The village originally emerged from two fishing villages, the so-called Putziger Heisternest (today Jastarnia Pucka ) and the Danzig Heisternest (today Bór ). The Gdansk Heisternest and the small town of Hela were owned by the town of Gdansk in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Danzig Heisternest was inhabited by Protestants , while the residents of Putziger Heisternest were Catholic and spoke Kashubian . Even today, the dialects in the districts should be distinguishable. In 1871 Danziger Heisternest had 388 inhabitants and 89 households, which were spread over 74 residential buildings.

The Hela peninsula had until the entry into force of the Treaty of Versailles in 1920 after the First World War to district Puck in the administrative district of Gdansk the province of West Prussia of the German Reich heard and then had to set up the Polish Corridor to Poland transferable.

The construction of the Reda – Hel railway line in 1922 and its own port made Heisternest a popular seaside resort within a short period of time.

After the attack on Poland in 1939, Heisternest was annexed by the German Reich in violation of international law and now belonged to the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia . After the end of the war and Germany's surrender on May 8, 1945, the Wehrmacht surrendered the Hela peninsula with Heisternest to the Red Army on May 9, 1945 .
