Pictured Gdansk

Gdansk is located on the Baltic Sea in northern Poland. Poles call this city Gdaê sk (Polish: Gdaê sk), while Germans call it Danzig (German: Danzig).

in the history of Europe, Gdansk (Danzig) has been the main focus of repeated struggles between Germanic (Germans) and Slavic (Poles) since the day when the city was founded in the 1th century.

Gdansk (Danzig) is located at the mouth of the Vistula River in the hinterland of Poland, which is the most ideal seaport in Poland. At the same time, it is also the throat of Germany's "East Prussia" region and most of Germany's territory. Therefore, both Poland and Germany regard this city as the lifeline of their own nation. After each war, the party who lost this city is ashamed and vowed to take revenge and recapture this city.

Historically, in 997 AD, Poles established Gdansk Castle here and ruled it for only forty years. In 138, the Teutonic Knights captured the fortress, and the German name "Danzig" gradually replaced the Polish name "Gdansk" and became the name of the city until the end of World War II in 1945.

in 1361, Danzig became a member of Lufthansa Alliance, and became the chief city of Prussia and Livonia in Lufthansa Alliance. Its trade scope included Prussia and Teutonic Knights on the east coast of Baltic Sea, as well as Poland and Sweden.

As a German city, this city has always been an important shipping and trade center and a prosperous and rich place in the Baltic Sea coastal area for more than 6 years.

Danzig's history came to an abrupt end in 1945. In order to punish Germany, the victorious countries in World War II divided the Prussia region of Germany into the Soviet Union and Poland at that time.

Danzig was assigned to Poland and renamed Gdansk. German residents who used to live here were also forced to move out and replaced by Polish immigrants from the interior of Poland.

The population composition of this city, which is dominated by German Protestants, has completely changed to a new group of residents and become a Polish city.

Today's Gdansk still has the magnificent Germanic ancient city style left by the Germans in history, attracting tourists from all over the world to visit the famous Prussian kingdom that has disappeared from the map of Europe.
