history

In 1772 the area around Maternia became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in the course of the First Partition of Poland . Maternia (Mattern) formed an estate district in the district of Danzig, which was founded in 1818, in the administrative district of Danzig in the province of West Prussia and came to Germany in 1871 . In 1887, Mattern moved to the new district of Danziger Höhe . Mattern had only 300 inhabitants in 1910.

One and a half years after the First World War , in January 1920, the Mattern manor district left the Danziger Höhe district due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty and came to the Powiat Kartuski in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship ( Polish Corridor ). The new border separated the location Goldkrug (Złota Karczma) from the rest of Mattern, for which the Polish place name Maternia was introduced. Goldkrug became an independent municipality and remained in the Danziger Höhe district and with this came from 1920 to 1939 to the Danzig mandate of the League of Nations.

In 1939, in an act that was not recognized by international law , the Third Reich annexed both north-western Poland and the mandate area and incorporated both of them into the newly established occupying Danzig-West Prussia , to which Mattern and Goldkrug belonged as part of the new district of Danzig until the end of the Second World War .

Towards the end of the Second World War, the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . Mattern came back to Poland while the Soviet occupying power in the summer of 1945 gave Goldkrug to Polish administration in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, along with the entire area of the Free City, all of Western Pomerania and the southern half of East Prussia . The Polish place name Złota Karczma was introduced for Goldkrug . Had not fled far as inhabitants of German ethnicity, they were mostly in the aftermath of gold jug and Maternia sold .

While Złota Karczma was incorporated into Gdańsk (Danzig) in 1954, the area and other places of Maternias only belong administratively to the city of Danzig since January 1, 1973. The new Gdańsk Airport was opened here on May 2, 1974 .
