history

The Pzerabka and the bank of the spit were an important storage area, where especially the large rafts of wood were dismantled. In Cracow and on Cracow Kämpe , an island that no longer exists, there were numerous sawmills and timber trading companies. The towpath along the Vistula was called "Troyl" .

The Weichselmünde fortress was built in the 15th century to protect the port of the Hanseatic city of Danzig at that time. The round tower was built in 1482 and served as a lighthouse until 1758 . The densely wooded Westerplatte was expanded into a Baltic seaside resort for hot and cold seaside baths from around 1830 ; it could be reached via Neufahrwasser (Nowy Port) by tram or steamboat. At the end of the 19th century, the seaside resorts of Weichselmünde and Heubude (Stogi) were created. The construction of the former imperial port ("Kashubian Canal" ) finally separated the Holm (island of Ostrów) from today's port island by 1904 .

The shelling of the Polish ammunition dump on Westerplatte on September 1, 1939 is considered to be the beginning of the Second World War . The peninsula is now a national symbol of Poland . The Westerplatte memorial, inaugurated in 1966, commemorates the defenders .

Weichselmünde no longer exists, the place was abandoned when a sulfur factory was built. The former sewage fields of the city of Gdansk have recently been built over with logistics centers.
