Orłowo ( German Adlershorst , Kashubian Òrłowò ) is a southern district of Gdynia in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship on the Baltic Sea . It had the status of a state-recognized health resort.
Geographical location
The district is located in the former West Prussia on the Gdańsk Bay and borders in the north on Redłowo ( Hochredlau ), in the west on Mały Kack ( Klein-Katz ), in the south on the city of Sopot ( Sopot ) and in the east on the Zatoka Gdańska (Gdańska Bay) ). The river Kacza ( the Katzer Fließ or the Katzbach ) flows through Orłowo and flows into the Baltic Sea. In Orłowo there is the cliff of the Kępa Redłowska ( Hochredlauer Kämpe ) , which is characteristic of the district .
history
“The (restaurant) Adlershorst belongs to Hochredlau from the seaside resort of Sopot because of the beautiful view. This mill property belonging to Hochredlau was bought in 1828 by the boatman Johann Adler and his wife, a née Klotz, as a beach area of around 3 acres for 170 thalers from the miller Bömelt and taken on a long lease. The otherwise enterprising eagle was from the Kgl. Government appointed "Seeschulzen" ( beach governor) and around 1840 set up a small bar for foreign guests. The name Adlershorst, added as an establishment by strangers, was adopted as the official name in 1857. "
Adler also started a bathing establishment at his Gasthaus Adlershorst .
Until 1920, Eagle's Nest belonged to the district Neustadt in the administrative district of Gdansk the province of West Prussia of the German Reich .
After the First World War , due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , Adlershorst had to be ceded to Poland with effect from January 20, 1920 for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor . As early as the summer of 1920, many Poles spent their holidays in Adlershorst, including the well-known Polish writer Stefan Żeromski , who settled in Adlershorst in a former fishing hut.
From 1931 Adlershorst formed the independent municipality Orłowo Morskie in the Powiat Morski ( Lake District ) of the Pomeranian Voivodeship . In 1931 the Weneda mansion , Przebendowskich 1 street , and the Gryf guesthouse , Przemysława 6 street , were built. In the 1930s, the promenade was built. In 1934 Kolibki ( Koliebken ) and Bukowin ( Vorwerk Klein-Katz , also Brauchitschhof , previously to Klein-Katz ) were incorporated into Orłowo Morskie, which last came to Gdynia in 1935 as Orłowo itself.
With the attack on Poland in 1939, the Polish Corridor returned to the territory of the Reich. In Orłowo Morskie and the neighboring Kolibki, which bordered directly on the state territory of the Free City of Danzig, the Danzig Home Guard was the first to move in on September 1, 1939 . Some of the Polish residents were forcibly resettled. The district area was incorporated into the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia , to which Adlershorst belonged until 1945. An external command of the Stutthof concentration camp was set up.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army took Gdynia ( Gotenhafen ) via Adlershorst in March 1945 . Had not fled far as German citizens, they were in the period that followed sold .
Cityscape
On ulica Folwarczna (Vorwerkstrasse) is the Neo-Gothic Vorwerk Klein-Katz (pl. Mały Kack, Kasch. Môłi Kack), which itself does not belong to the neighboring district of the same name. The manor house, the birthplace of the classical archaeologist Georg von Brauchitsch , now serves the Academic General Education Lyceum No. 1 (pl. I Akademickie Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Zasłużonych Ludzi Morza w Gdyni). It is a high school for the acquisition of the Polish higher education entrance qualification (Matura) with an artistic focus, which works together with the universities of the Tricity of Gdansk- Sopot-Gdynia.
Johann Adler's former inn, ulica Orłowska 7, on Katzer Fließ, now houses the Café Galeria . In eromski's fisherman's hut, the memorabilia associated with him are carefully kept and the Society of Orłowo Friends regularly organizes exhibitions and meetings with historical or other backgrounds. In Orłowo there is the Molo Orłowskie , a wooden pier .
Below the beach promenade, the Witold Gombrowicz Theater of the City of Gdynia plays on a beach stage in front of the backdrop of Gdansk Bay and the cliff. Flushing work is now taking place on the beach to build a marina. Orłowo has also had a stop for the local S-Bahn ( Szybka Kolej Miejska ) since 1952 , which connects the Tricity.
