Loved this video. Seen many but yours amazing. One way to gdansk now

Almost all bigger fishes you can eat at local "fish & chips" originate mostly from North Sea, they are not fresh local fishes from Gulf of Gdansk but unfrozen species, probably couple of weeks old. There are no fishes in heavily contaminated Baltic Sea, except some tiny herrings ( usually sick and deformed due to contamination ) or sprats.

Well told stories

Very good and addictive vlog

997-1227: Duchy/Kingdom of Poland 1227-1294: Duchy of Pomerania 1294-1308: Duchy/Kingdom of Poland 1308-1410: State of the Teutonic Order 1410-1411: Crown of the Kingdom of Poland 1411-1454: State of the Teutonic Order 1454-1569: Crown of the Kingdom of Poland 1569-1793: Commonwealth, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland 1793-1807: Kingdom of Prussia 1807-1814: Free City of Gdańsk (dependent on the French Empire) 1815-1871: Kingdom of Prussia 1871-1918: German Empire 1918-1920: Weimar Republic 1920-1939: Free City Gdańsk 1939-1945: Third Reich 1945-1989: Polish People's Republic 1989-present: Republic of Poland Polish rule and prosperity On February 5, 1454, an anti-Teutonic uprising broke out in Gdańsk. The townspeople occupied, among other places, the Great Mill, and the Teutonic Knights withdrew to the castle. After a few days, the castle commander Konrad Pfersfelder surrendered the castle, after which the inhabitants immediately began to demolish it. Thus, after 146 years, the Teutonic Knights' rule in Gdańsk ended. On March 6 of that year, King Casimir IV Jagiellon, at the request of the Prussian Confederation's embassy headed by Jan Bażyński, incorporated Gdańsk into Poland, at the same time granting it the privilege of minting its own coins (Toruń also received this privilege). Gdańsk was released from coastal law, and representatives of the Prussian lands were allowed to participate in the election of the King of Poland. Gdańsk entered the Thirteen Years' War in 1455; the people of Gdańsk paid homage to Casimir IV Jagiellon, and on 25 May 1457 - like Toruń - the city received the so-called Great Privilege, ensuring the free import of goods via the Vistula from Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia without the need for controls, as well as other privileges that were to reward the city for its contribution to the war. The conclusion of the Peace of Toruń in 1466 guaranteed Royal Prussia and Warmia to remain with Poland. The treaty included a provision that Gdańsk belonged to Poland. In 1467, the king abolished the office of governor and established, following the example of the Crown, the title of capitaneus Prussiae Generalis. The Pomeranian Voivodeship was established, in which the offices of castellans, chamberlains and judges were established, who were members of the so-called Prussian council. It also included two representatives each from Gdańsk, Elbląg and Toruń. The king also appointed starosts for these cities. In 1469, the municipal and land courts made the system of Prussia similar to the system of the Crown. Under Polish rule, Gdańsk became a dynamic trade centre, had extensive trade contacts with many countries, and was associated with the Hansa. Exports increased, especially grain. The economic development is illustrated in the tables below, presenting traffic in the port of Gdańsk. The decreasing importance of smaller Hanseatic centres in favour of Dutch ones can be seen. During the Polish-Teutonic War of 1519-1521, on 8-10 November 1520, German Landsknechts supporting the Teutonic Knights fired on Gdańsk from Biskupia Górka. In 1525, the Gdańsk Tumult took place, a protest of the Lutheran commoners and plebs against the mayor Eberhard Ferber, which overthrew the old city council. On April 17, 1526, King Sigismund I the Old entered Gdańsk at the head of 8,000 troops, ordered the beheading of the rebels and expanded the powers of his burgrave, who was given higher powers than the mayor. After the Gdańsk revolt was suppressed, on June 13, 1526, 14 leaders of the coup, led by George Wendland, were beheaded on Długi Targ. King Sigismund II Augustus, with a special decree of tolerance for Gdańsk from 1557, calmed social moods and put an end to religious conflicts in the city. The decree of tolerance was the first legal act of its kind in Europe. Monetary unification was also introduced. In 1564, 23,899 victims of the plague epidemic were recorded in Gdańsk In 1575, Stephen Bathory became the king of Poland. However, Gdańsk did not want to recognize him and opted for Emperor Maximilian II, who promised the city significant trade benefits. Even after the emperor's death in 1577, Gdańsk was ready to pay homage to Stephen Bathory only in exchange for significant concessions. For this reason, the city was besieged by Stephen Bathory in 1577. Ultimately, the king was satisfied with an apology and a payment of 200,000 guilders On December 16, 1577, Stephen Bathory confirmed the city's privileges, extending religious tolerance to other denominations. Gdańsk became a refuge for foreigners persecuted in their own countries for their religious beliefs, among whom were outstanding and talented people. On June 22, 1596, the Gdańsk City Council Library (Bibliotheca Senatus Gedanensis) was opened, today the Gdańsk Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In 1602, 16,919 residents of Gdańsk died as a result of the plague epidemic.

Very good. Great knowledge.

Solidarity Union was founded in 1980 and the height of the movement was throughout the ‘80s, non ‘90s.

We are getting back to comunism with european union.

hands down, the most informative gdansk video i was able to find. great work, cheers!

i like the narration and how you went a great length to film it outside of busy hours. Let me guess, between 4 am and 6 am? :) what is also respectable is that how you put extra effort in proper pronounciation of names too.

It's a great video

Well. I’m happy to see that someone out of my country and city makes some vid about Gdansk. This city was amazing looking, trade and cultural place. War destroy a lot as we all know. They is many nice stories and many sad as it can be. It’s hard to live in a calm way when you are located between f imperialists. Welcome in Poland.

Soon coming

🇩🇪❤️🏳️‍🌈

When in Gdańsk you should visit KL Stuthoff. Very close to Gdańsk

Thank you for this walk through Kazimierz, so informative, covering this very fascinating place of Poland through time, with amazing music accompaniment, dziękuję.

THANKS A LOT MAN GDANSK IT'S GORGEOUS CITY BIG👍

Excellent history lesson! Poland is a humble country not out for gaining world power yet, they survived/ rebuilt the country after WW11.

Excellent video!!

This is very good, but a bit sanitized. You seem to want to avoid the reason why so many buildings are in the Dutch or Flemish style. Could it be that many of the original inhabitants were Dutch or Flemish or. God forbid, Germans? As Poland emerges from communism it has started to deal with its past, including the fact that 5 million Germans were forced out and replaced by 5 million Poles who had come from what is now western Ukraine and Belarus. Most honest Poles will tell you that they are inhabiting a city and a region that was not really all that Polish, but was at best partly Polish in some places. They will tell you that their ancestors came from places such as Lvov and Wilna. At least they are being honest.

Nice city for a few days, the Polish themselves though are pig ignorant, be prepared!!

its refreshing to see presentation not as one big selfie stick walking . keep goin. whats that band in 36.00 min?

Everywhere seems deserted. Where are the people?

I was in krakow back in 1989 just as communism was ousted my wife and i will be back in christmas 2024, cant wait. We are aussies from sydney what part of aussie are you from?

WIELUŃ BYŁ PIERWSZYM ZAATAKOWANYM MIASTEM POLSKIM-ZBOMBARDOWALI NIEMIECCY BARBARZYŃCY SZPITAL...WIĘC-DOUCZ SIE.

Your videos are absolutely the best for exploring the history of the places you visit, such a shame you appear to have stopped making them :(

Great video! Thank you for the historical context as well. Learned a few new things about Gdańsk. Lol Warm regards from New York City.

Brilliant video!♡Thank you so much! Best from Poland!

Fantastic video!!! Looked so beautiful with a fresh coat of snow and this was the first ‘travel vlog’ if you will that actually gave the history of the city! ❤

We plan to visit Poland this fall. All our grandparents came to America from Poland early in the 20th century. Based on your terrific video, we will visit Gdansk. Proud of what Poland has accomplished and our Polish heritage!

This is on my list for this year. I visited Krakow a couple of years ago and loved it. I thought this was so informative. Thank you!

🌷

Very nice to come across a video on Poland with narration....in English.. just subscribed 👍

Very interesting! 🙂

Very nice footage👌 Like😃👍👍 and sub! New friend, thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Architecture should be German.

your videos are relly nice. i like the way you film and the things you decide to show and tell, it is really satisfying my thirst for information and giving a nice most complete visualization. Awesome

Are you an Aussie ? Thats lit man you know way more than me about my hometown

IT'S DANTZIG!

Wadowice - town of the beast. :)))

What song is playing in the video?

Awesome film. You are a perfect narrator guide, a lovely voice to listen to, and you tell a most interesting story. I visited Gdansk in the autumn of 2020 and I love the place but I wished I could have seen your video before it. I am actually planning a second visit now so your guide will be very useful indeed. The Solidarity museum is so vibrant and fill me with such awe. I remember the days of 1980 very well and it is inspiring to see what change is possible if we unite and just put our collective minds to it. Thank you!

Hi, why you stopped your 'films'.I do enjoy them

Lech Walenca war damals unser Nachbar. Wir haben mit seinen Kindern im Hof gespielt. Ich habe noch Bilder von der damaligen Korrespondenz mit den Minister und meinen Onkel Robert Peplinski in Warschau, wo es um dieses Denkmal ging. Der Minister schaute sich das Model dieses Denkmal an und sagte , es sollte so klein bleiben, wie das Modell, aber mein Onkel meinte, wenn ich das Denkmal mache, dann soll es so groß sein, damit jeder es sieht. Ich habe auch Bilder mit den einzelnen Platten am Denkmal die meine Tante in Ihrem Attelier erstellt hat. Schaut mal in die Brigida Kirche in Gdansk, dort hatte die Bewegung Solidarnosc Unterschlupf gefunden. Der Pfarrer wurde in den 80 er Jahren gefoltert und anschließend getötet, weil er dieser Bewegung Unterschlupf geleistet hatte. Dort sieht man sehr viel von meiner Tante Elzbieta Szczodrowska und meinen Onkel Robert Peplinski . Dankeschön für deine Ausführungen, ganz toll dargestellt. 🙏

Es ist meine Heimat. Leider haben meine Eltern meine wunderschöne Heimat mit uns Kinder verlassen. Ich fahre jedes Jahr in die wunderschöne Stadt, Sie hat Geschichte, Kultur, Moderne, pulsierende Stadt, wunderschöne Natur, ganz tolle Menschen und ich habe natürlich auch die Schattenseiten mit Solidarnosc erlebt. Meine Tante war die Künstlerin Elzbieta Szczodrowska, die hat damals Gdansk mit aufgebaut und war Professorin an der Kunstakademie in Gdansk. Sie hat mit meinem Onkel Robert Peplinski bei der Solidarnosc Bewegung mitgemacht und das Denkmal Solidarnosc für die Verstorbenen von 1970 in der Lenin Werft erstellt. Leider ist Sie und mein Onkel verstorben, aber ich fahre trotzdem jedes Jahr in meine Heimat und werde dort wieder hinziehen, weil diese Menschen Ihre Kultur, Ihre Familien , Geschichte und Natur zu schätzen und pflegen wissen. Dankeschön für deine Ausführung über diese wunderschöne Stadt. 🙏

A very nice movie. It is quite a long movie, but it has a lot of knowledge and it can serve almost like an encyclopedia.

Thank you so much for doing these videos...I have been researching. My ancestry, and had no idea... , I haven't even finished this video, but a new Sub and likes here..I am leaving in the fall/winter for a solo moto tour of Australia first, (been there 2xs) God parents there. BUT I will then start a RTW tour by motorcycle and I will be then renting a place there and researching for a few months, as I will be seeking citizenship there as well. I am so thankful and will be binging on your videos...I can not wait !!

Undoubtedly, the best presentation about my hometown and its history by a foreigner. Whoever you are, thank you for your brilliant presentation and congratulations on your extensive knowledge.
