Dolne Miasto


Dolne Miasto is a quarter of Śródmieście, a district of the city of Gdańsk.

History

Dolne Miasto was initially covered by flood-meadows and riparian forests and incorporated into the city of Danzig in the 17th century, becoming a garden quarter. During the siege of Danzig in 1734, it proved itself not vulnerable to artillery fire by the besieging forces, resulting in its population significantly increasing.
In the 19th century, the area's population once again increased amid an expansion of industry. Factories of rifles and tobacco products were present, among others. An oil mill was also constructed, and a garrison was operational there from the 19th century to World War II. The quarter was partially destroyed during the siege of Danzig in 1945. It was economically devastated following the creation of a new road, the W-Z Route, which cut it off from the central parts of the city, causing it to fall into poverty.
In 2014, a series of urban renewal projects began in Dolne Miasto. They included the renovation of townhouses, the revitalization of bastions on the shore of the, and the development of areas on the site of a former tram depot.
