The Tenement at Gdanska Street 33 is a historical house in downtown Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Location

The building stands on the west side of Gdanska Street, between Freedom Square and Śniadeckich street.

History

Few elements can be traced back from the origins of this building.

It was erected in 1876-1878.

On the ground floor, the edifice housed since 1884 a colonial and deli store, by Mr Johannes Creuss.[2]

In 1899, there was a workshop of "saddle maker" (Sattlemeister) run by Rudolf and Friss Stephan, producing a variety of leather goods, including saddles, travel trunks and handbags.[3]

From 1902, a flower shop was set up, run by Hedwig Kassler.[4] During prussian period, the house was located at Danzigerstrasse 22.

From 1909 on, a pastry and coffee shop were established here.

During Polish People's Republic time, a fish monger established here since 1962, until 2013.[5]

In the building lived Dr. Witold Bełz (1886-1933), the initiator of the association Society of Friends of Bydgoszcz and the first director Provincial and Municipal Public Library of Bydgoszcz.

Architecture

The house was built in the years 1876-1878 in the style of Eclecticism, using forms of Neo-baroque.[6]

In this way, it mirrors the tenement that almost faces it, on the corner with Freedom Square, even though this tenement has been built came 20 years earlier.

The edifice is distinguished by two wide balconies with forged railings. Above building cornices, bay windows are topped by gables. Inside, some elements are still preserved, such as original furnishings, including an antique stove.

The building has been put on the Pomeranian heritage list (N°601300-Reg.A/742), on 15 January 1986.[1]
