Stolzenberger Weg

History

Literally "Stolzenberg street" - named after Stolzenberg, a small suburb of Danzig.

Between 1666 and 1673, the Franciscans built a monastery and church on Stolzenberg, which no longer exist today. After the First Partition of Poland in 1772, Prussia annexed lands around Gdańsk, weakening the city by establishing the town of Stolzenberg with market rights. The town included Stolzenberg, Alt Schottland, Schidlitz, and St. Albrecht, and the postal route was rerouted through Stolzenberg instead of Gdańsk.

In 1773, Stolzenberg received a synagogue, and in 1783 King Frederick II commissioned a church. However, Stolzenberg was destroyed during the 1813 Russian siege of Gdańsk, leading to its eventual incorporation into the city in 1814. The Jewish community remained strong, with synagogues and a key cemetery established in the area after the destruction.
