Searching for The Freie Stadt Danzig map with street names

[patjakub]

Good evening,

When taking and describing photographs I need to know old street names. I have got a collection of various city maps. Only some of them contains street names and these are only Main City maps. What I miss are street names of suburbs like Stolzenberg or Heubude.

A the moment I am describing photos from trip into old Stolzenberg. I am unable to find relevant street names. Web sites like http://www.danzig-online.pl/nazwy/uliced.html doesn't help as they don't contain small or less popular names.

The best would be detailed City Plan circa 1940. Can anyone point me a place with digital scan of the map like this or help me in another way?

Kind regards,
Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

I fear that I have to disappoint you. In my knowledge such a digital scan does not exist. But... - if you need an almost perfect "translation" of all streets just call www.danzig.at

With best wishes,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Thank you for a fast response and information.

www.danzig.at has similar information (and lack of it) as www.danzig-online.pl. I thought about these web sites as great source of street names as long as I didn't need it. They miss for example name of a street
ul. Biskupa Andrzeja Wronki 18 (https://www.google.pl/maps/place/Biskupa+Andrzeja+Wronki+18,+Gda%C5%84sk/@54.3428307,18.6259614,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x46fd738f94e74521:0x3354f da01021a19f?hl=en)
and two neighbor intersecting streets: ul. Buczka and ul. Hirszwelda.

On some of my maps (found on the Internet) there are street names in suburbs. However suburbs are incomplete or not every street has a name or map is too old. I have a hope that somewhere I will find a more comprehensive map.

The good thing is that I can use geo-location information and embed it into image. Still having old street name in the title of a photograph would be nice. Especialy for audience who does not know current names but remembers the olds.

Greetings, Patrick.

Hello Patrick,

I've been looking around for a strret map of Danzig, containing German street names AND relevant house numbers, covering as much area of old Danzig as possible, high resolution for a good result if zooming in. These requirements result in much information correlating with hugh file size. Nevertheless I succeeded in finding one that corresponds to MINE requests.

If you don't worry copying 77 MB file size to your computer and are user of a visualization software that can handle this size I would suggest to visit:

http://igrek.amzp.pl/1755292

Please don't try to open the file by clicking on the file name! Use instead 'right mouse' and select 'Ziel speichern unter ...' to copy it onto your harddisk.

Give it a try ...


Best greetings

Peter

Hi Patrick,
it may be of no great help for You. However I have a "Historischer Stadtplan". It shows old and new Street names from Danzig and some suburbs. Stolzenberg is not part of it, but Sopot/Zoppot, Jelitkowo/Glettkau, Brzeźno/Brösen, Nowy Port/Neufahrwasser, Wrzeszcz/Langfuhr and Stogi/Heubude.

It comes from Tessa Verlag, ISBN 83-88882-06-6

Good Morning,

Peter. Thank you for your time you have spent on research. This map is know to me. The map is one of the best I have. I rely much on it.

The map covers Stolzenberg poorly because it is little too old. 1933. Most of the building are circa 1940. Nevertheless I have managed to find all street names I needed. I have done this by googling and reading various texts.

Soon I will present an album of present Stolzenberg in areas known to people in 1940-1945.

Thank you for the effort of all of you.

Patrick.
