The Krakauer Kämpe ( Polish Krakowiecka Kępa ) was an inland island and a residential area in the Dead Vistula . It belonged to the city of Gdansk since 1942 and Gdańsk, Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland since 1945 . After 1945, Krakowiecka Kępa was evacuated and dredged away as part of the construction of the LOTOS Grupa oil refinery .
geography
The small, elongated island was located in the river Vistula until 1840, which silted up to the Dead Vistula (Martwą Wisłą) after its breakthrough at Neufähr and the Vistula breakthrough in 1895. Directly to the south was the place Klein Plehnendorf (today Płonia Mała), northwest of the eponymous place Krakow (Krakowiec).
history
The Pzerabka and the bank of the spit were an important storage area, where especially the large rafts of wood were dismantled. In Klein Plehnendorf, Krakow and on the Krakauer Kämpe there were numerous sawmills and timber trading companies. After the company Baffy & Adrian , 1907–1918 the steam sawmill Baffy and Pose with 105 employees (1907) and in 1921 the steam sawmill of Franz L. Gross are named on the Krakauer Kämpe . Around 1917 the area was referred to as the “wooden port” of the city of Gdansk.
places
On the island was the homonymous living space, which belonged to the rural community of Klein Plehnendorf (today Płonia Mała). In 1883 the island had 10 houses and 121 inhabitants, a timber warehouse and a sawmill, in 1905 there were 137 inhabitants.
On April 1, 1942, the Krakauer Kämpe with its access from the outer dike on the south bank of the Dead Vistula was administratively incorporated into the Hanseatic city and the urban district of Danzig.
