Sobieszewo (German Bohnsack , Kashubian Bąsôk ) is the eponymous capital of the Wyspa Sobieszewska district of Gdańsk ( Danzig ) in the Pomeranian Voivodeship , Poland .
Bohnsack was a fishing village on the Gdansk Spit , which by 1939 developed into a seaside resort with a spa.
geography
The place is located in the Vistula Delta on the Martwa Wisła ( Dead Vistula ) on the west side of Wyspa Sobieszewska ( Bohnsacker Island ), about 12 km from the center of Gdańsk.
The small residential area Bohnsacker Pfarrdorf belonged to the rural community Bohnsack , after 1945 it became an independent place as Sobieszewko .
Sobieszewska Pastwa ( Bohnsackerweide ) was an independent rural community already in Prussian times. Powiśle ( Bohnsackertroyl ) was a residential area that used to belong to the rural community Weßlinken (Polish: Wiślinka ) on the other side of the Dead Vistula .
history
Bohnsack was founded as a Hufenort and already existed during the settlement by the Teutonic Order. Over time, numerous Germans settled in the place. In 1410 a battle took place in Bohnsack as the Teutonic Order withdrew from Marienburg. 700 Polish fighters crossed the bank of the Vistula to destroy the supplies of the Teutonic Order stored there. Numerous fighters came from the city of Danzig to oppose the Poles. It is said that all Poles were annihilated.
From 1612 the Bohnsacker pasture was leased to Mennonites , so that this ethnic group supplemented the population influx. Between 1800 and 1820 residents from Bohnsack moved to Volhynia.
Bohnsack belonged to the Prussian province of West Prussia from 1818 to 1920 , then to the Free State of Danzig from 1920 to 1939 and, after its incorporation into the Greater German Reich at the beginning of the Second World War, to the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia from 1939 to 1945 . After the end of the war in 1945 the place came under Polish administration and was first renamed Bąsak (phonetically: Bonsack) and then in 1946 Sobieszewo. The German residents were expelled .
From 1818 to 1887 Bohnsack was a rural municipality in the district of Danzig , then belonged to the district of Danziger Niederung and from December 1, 1939 to the new district of Danzig .
In 1973 Sobieszewo was incorporated into the city of Danzig, the district was named Wyspa Sobieszewska .
Religions
Until 1945 there was a Protestant church in Bohnsack , which was consecrated to Catholicism in 1947 . The Catholic residents were parish in Gdansk until 1945, in the Royal Chapel until 1926 and since then in the Church of Our Lady.
There are still old German tombstones in the cemetery today; they are the tombstones of Protestant church leaders.
