Bleihof
History
Bleihof is the island right across from the Krantor (Brama Żuraw), originally the location of the Schäferei and the Zimmerhof. This street was also called Bleihof (lead court), named after a lead scale that was located there. The lead court with the lead scales, to which the island owes its current name, is first mentioned on plans from the 16th century.
Before the 15th century (during the "Ordenszeit"), the island belonged to the local castle.
