Imperial Danzig, 1900
This is a Prussian provincial capital wearing a Hanseatic costume: restored brick façades line the Long Market while imperial shipyard slipways and gantry cranes clatter along the Vistula. The walk moves from the busy Motlau quays, past the Green Gate and Langer Markt, through tram-lined streets and barrack squares, and finishes on the high ground overlooking the red-tiled roofs.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Gdańsk as it stood in 1900 (“History of Gdańsk”).
