The Granaries on the Motława River, Gdansk, Poland

The island on the Motława River, where these buildings are located, has been an industrial district since the 13th century. In the 16th century, there were about 340 granaries here - large and spacious warehouses, with many floors, built of wood, brick, clay, and stone. The granaries located on the banks of the rivers had wooden platforms for loading or unloading goods. They did not have numbers, but names.

For several hundred years, Granary Island was spared war damage, the situation changed in 1813 - after Russian shelling from the slopes of Biskupia Górka, almost two hundred granaries with valuable supplies burned down completely.

After reconstruction, the area of the granary district became an unusual composition of warehouse buildings, the hallmark of which were the patterned walls of half-timbered structures. From the mid-19th century, the spacious buildings were gradually adapted to office and residential functions, but in 1914, there were still 121 warehouses operating on Granary Island.

In 1945, the island was almost completely destroyed during the fighting between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army. Only three granaries survived the war.

In the 1980s, after many years of work, buildings referring to the old granary architecture were built in the central part of the island area. In the late 1990s, a successful reconstruction of the southern frontage of Stągiewna Street was carried out.

The district is being rebuilt primarily with tourist traffic in mind, the lack of greenery and social infrastructure makes Granary Island an area rather unsuitable for permanent residence. On the other hand, and in a sense - there was a return to the original function of Granary Island, because the apartments can be treated as warehouses, and tourists as precious grain. ;)

The Crane, Gdańsk, Poland

The Crane is a former port crane without which the port would not be able to function. Cranes were used to reload goods from ships to the quayside and vice versa. The first mentions of the Crane date back to the 14th century. It was a 100% wooden structure that burned down completely in a fire in 1442. In the same year, the reconstruction of the crane began, but this time as a brick and wooden structure. Over the following centuries, until the 19th century, the Crane was an essential element of the Gdańsk port. 200 years ago, it lost its function and was used, among other things, to put up masts or as a lift for boats that required repairs to their rudders and propellers. In the 19th century, the interior of the Crane housed, among other things, a hairdresser’s and a shoemaker’s shop.

In addition to its function as a crane, the Gdańsk Crane also served as a city gate. This day, it leads from Szeroka Street to Długie Pobrzeże.
