Nowe Szkoty
Nowe Szkoty ( German New Scotland or New Scotland or Nova Scotia , Kashubian Nowi Szotland ) is a district of Gdansk in Poland . Administratively, it has belonged to the Wrzeszcz Dolny district since 2010 and until then (since 1945) to Wrzeszcz (Langfuhr) . Parts of New Scotland came to the city of Danzig with Langfuhr in 1814, the remaining areas were not incorporated into the city until 1877.
history
New Scotland was a settlement between Kleinhammer (Langfuhr) and Schellmühl . It was created in the second half of the 16th century at the Abtsmühle am Strießbach . The mill pond, into which the Königstaler Bach flows, was backfilled between 1920 and 1939. The name of the settlement comes from the Scottish settlers, the addition "New" distinguished it from the older settlement of Old Scotland near Ohra . New Scotland was divided into two parts of the ownership structure; the northern part to the left of the Strießbach belonged to the Cistercian Abbey of Oliva and the southern part to the village of Zigankenberg .
In the 17th century New Scotland came into the possession of the Kostka family and in the 18th century to the Weiher family ( Wejher in Polish ). In the middle of the eighteenth century the Strießbach was relocated to the northern edge of the settlement in its current course. In 1772 the residential area had 280 inhabitants. The mansion was surrounded by a park.
In 1733 the Saxon army encamped near New Scotland. The alleged residence of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807, however, cannot be documented, but Gdansk was besieged from there in 1813.
At the beginning of the 19th century New Scotland had about 300 inhabitants. In 1814 the greater part of the settlement came to the city of Danzig with Langfuhr and in 1877 the remaining part was also incorporated. The Gdansk non-profit garden city cooperative built numerous semi-detached houses north of the Strießbach after the turn of the 20th century. The intersection between Oliva , Hochstrieß , Brunshof, Kleinhammer (both belong to Langfuhr) and Saspe gave rise to Max-Halbe- Platz, which is now called Komorowski- Platz. The New Scotland area was expanded eastward by the mid-20th century. This included the imperial colony or colony Nova Scotia (Polish colonia ).
In the years 1905-1907 the Nova Scotia School was built. The Evangelical Christ Church was consecrated on July 31, 1916. In April 1945 it became the property of the Jesuits and Andreas Bobola . The Roman Catholic św. Andrzeja Boboli Church has been a protected architectural monument since 2005.
To the east of Ostseestrasse, the Helene-Lange School - municipal lyceum and Reformrealgymnasium - was completed in 1929 . The former high school for girls has housed the pharmaceutical faculty of the Medical University of Gdansk since 1947 .
In 2001 the Park nad Strzyżą was created on the Strießbach .
traffic
Since October 1, 1867, the area had two stops on the Danzig port railway to Neufahrwasser . The route was reopened in 1951 after the Second World War and today only leads to the terminus Gdańsk Stadion Expo, which opened in 2012 . The stops Gdańsk Kolonia (first stop Schellmühl ) and Gdańsk Nowe Szkoty have not been served by the SKM S-Bahn since 2005 and 2006 respectively. This also applies when the route is opened to major sporting events and trade fairs.
In addition to a number of tram stops, there is the SKM stop Gdańsk Politechnika in the north of the district.
In the 1920s and 30s, the Ostseestrasse was laid out to Brösen ; it was only completed after the war. She has been called aleja Józefa Hallera since 1990 .
