@@sharjiljafric-3184 Why in german?
@@chaoticserpent Because they are.
The most beautiful city in Europe, Gdansk, has everything. Magnificent, beautiful and rich architecture. Ancient precious monuments. Romantic streets. Charming cafes, cozy restaurants. True Polish patriots living there. The tough people of the sea who live there. The wind from the sea as well as the beautiful Tri-City with the city of Sopot at the forefront and modern Gdynia. Orlowo is also cozy. Mount Pacholek in Gd-Oliwa with an interesting view and unusual organs in the Archcathedral and a beautiful park. Beautiful beaches all around. Fresh fried fish with chips. What more is needed for happiness, which I, in the New Year from across the Ocean, as an old Gdańsk (Gdanszczanin) citizen, wish to all.
One of the most beautiful cities in Europe, D@nzig was stolen from Germ@ny; along with Z0pp0t, Bresl@u, Stettin, Th0rn, M@rienburg, P0sen, etc. Not only that; most of their Germ@n inhabitants were kicked out were forced to evacuate, most of whom didn't have anything to do with W0rld W@r 2 or Gen0cide and even those who even actively opposed such things. So we demand them back. We are not even trying to take anything away from P0land. We are just demanding them back. Give back our cities or we know how to take them back.
@@sharjiljafric-3184 "During Wrocław's early history, control over it changed hands between the Duchy of Bohemia (1038-1054), the Duchy of Poland and the Kingdom of Poland (985-1038 and 1054-1320). Following the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Poland, the Piast dynasty ruled the Duchy of Silesia. One of the most important events during this period was the foundation of the Diocese of Wrocław by the Polish Duke and from 1025, King Bolesław the Brave in 1000. Along with the Bishoprics of Kraków and Kołobrzeg, Wrocław was placed under the Archbishopric of Gniezno in Greater Poland, founded by Pope Sylvester II through the intercession of Polish Duke Bolesław I the Brave and Emperor Otto III in 1000, during the Gniezno Congress.[26] In the years 1034-1038 the city was affected by the pagan reaction in Poland.[27]
The city became a commercial centre and expanded to Wyspa Piasek (Sand Island), and then onto the left bank of the River Oder. Around 1000, the town had about 1,000 inhabitants.[28] In 1109 during the Polish-German war, Prince Bolesław III Wrymouth defeated the King of Germany Henry V at the Battle of Hundsfeld, stopping the German advance into Poland. The medieval chronicle, Gesta principum Polonorum (1112-1116) by Gallus Anonymus, named Wrocław, along with Kraków and Sandomierz, as one of three capitals of the Polish Kingdom. Also, the Tabula Rogeriana, a book written by the Arab geographer Muhammad al-Idrisi in 1154, describes Wrocław as one of the Polish cities, alongside Kraków, Gniezno, Sieradz, Łęczyca and Santok.[29]

@@sharjiljafric-3184 "Origin
A manuscript fragment featuring gyddanyzc
The name of the city was most likely derived from Gdania, a river presently known as Motława on which the city is situated.[14] Linguists argue that the name stems from the Proto-Slavic adjective/prefix gъd-, which meant wet or moist with the addition of the morpheme ń/ni and the suffix -sk.[15]
History
The name of the settlement was recorded after St. Adalbert's death in 997 CE as urbs Gyddanyzc and it was later written as Kdanzk in 1148, Gdanzc in 1188, Danceke[16] in 1228, Gdańsk in 1236,[a] Danzc in 1263, Danczk in 1311,[b] Danczik in 1399,[c] Danczig in 1414 and Gdąnsk in 1656.[17]
In Polish documents the form Gdańsk was always used. The German form Danzig developed later, simplifying the consonant clusters to something easier for German speakers to pronounce.[18] The cluster "gd" became "d" (Danzc from 1263),[19] the combination "ns" became "nts" (Danczk from 1311).,[19] and finally an epenthetical "i" broke up the final cluster (Danczik from 1399).[19]
In Polish the modern name of the city is pronounced [ɡdaj̃sk] (listen). In English (where the diacritic over the "n" is frequently omitted) the usual pronunciation is /ɡəˈdænsk/ or /ɡəˈdɑːnsk/. The German name, Danzig, is pronounced [ˈdantsɪç] (listen). The city's Latin name may be given as either Gedania, Gedanum, or Dantiscum; the variety of Latin names reflects the mixed influence of the city's Polish, German and Kashubian heritage. Other former spellings of the name include Dantzig, Dantsic, and Dantzic." WIKIPEDIA

This is a great video about a very interesting place. I brought 5 friends to Warsaw and Krakow 20 years ago and it was a great trip. Since then I have learned of many more fascinating places there. If I get back, Gdansk will be included. Good job!
Beautiful Polish city. Establish by Poles in 980ad.
Went to Krakow a few years ago, and can hardly wait to get back to Poland!
Gdańsk is the most beautiful city in Poland. The smell of the wind from the sea prevails. Beautiful beaches, monuments, many tourist attractions, Oliwa Park, organ concerts in the cathedral. Here live the tough people of the sea who travel the oceans. Greetings from Canada.
I went to this museum it was an amazing experience! Also the WW2 museum was just as good!I went with my older son and we both found that the museum was well put together..We even had lunch at the Amber restaurant which is in the solidarity museum..We had a lovely lunch there!❤
Gdańsk is great!

The shipyards are not completely closed. They still service and repair ships. They also build yachts, actually quiet a lot of them and a new 100 million € wind farm metal pylon factory will open there.
The ships are still build but the at diffrent places. The Remotnowa Shipbuilding and Remontowa Ship Repairs are located closet to the coastline. The localisacion of the old Stocznia Gdanska isn't the best for the new methods of ship production. As ports the shipbuilding industry is moving from inland harbours into the sea and it's the case around the world.
Thank for really cool film. I am from Gdansk and it was very nice to watch it in my favorite tv. Best regards.
Thanks for watching Andrzej!

I love cities like Hamburg or Gdansk. It’s cultural, industrial, political and ports!
I lived in Gdansk for some time, the most beautiful city I have ever been in. It has everything you want and it's not too big
hey when im there roam me around ok hahaha take care nice video!
I'd like to go to Gdansk and Warsaw. Truth be told Warsaw is somewhere I'd like to go because I got more interested in going after watching the film The Pianist. To think about what happened in 1939 was a dark chapter in Poland's history.
well tbc the pianist is mostly 1944
Do you know if they have Food & Beverage Tours in Gdańsk?
When in Gdańsk you should visit KL Stuthoff. Very close to Gdańsk

According to the inhabitants of Gdańsk, when the German army left Gdańsk, only a few houses were demolished. When the Soviet army entered, Gdansk was in ruins. Even religious buildings and churches were destroyed. The Hague Convention explicitly stipulates not to attack such objects. The Red Army unnecessarily destroyed all of Gdansk and for that the Russian Federation should pay compensation to Poland.
The Germans said that Gdansk would be rebuilt by the Poles in 100 years. Today Gdansk is the most beautiful city in Europe.
Wedlug relacji Gdanszczan, kiedy armia niemiecka opuszczala Gdansk to tylko kilka domow bylo zburzonych. Kiedy wkroczyla armia soviecka, Gdansk byl w ruinach. Nawet obiekty sakralne i koscioly byly zniszczone. Konwencja Haska postanawia wyraznie aby takich obiektow nie atakowac. Armia czerwona zniszczyla niepotrzebnie caly Gdansk i za to Federacja Rosyjska winna zaplacic Polsce odszkodowanie.
Niemcy zas mowili, ze Gdansk odbuduja Polacy za 100 lat. Dzisiaj Gdansk jest najpiekniejszym miastem w Europie.
Según los habitantes de Gdańsk, cuando el ejército alemán abandonó Gdańsk, solo se demolieron unas pocas casas. Cuando entró el ejército soviético, Gdansk estaba en ruinas. Incluso los edificios religiosos y las iglesias fueron destruidos. La Convención de La Haya estipula explícitamente no atacar tales objetos. El ejército rojo destruyó innecesariamente todo Gdansk y por eso la Federación Rusa debería pagar una compensación a Polonia. Los Alemanes dijeron que Gdansk sería reconstruida por los Polacos en 100 años.
Hoy Gdansk es la ciudad más hermosa de Europa.
Nach Angaben der Einwohner von Danzig wurden nur wenige Häuser abgerissen, als die deutsche Armee Danzig verließ. Als die sowjetische Armee einmarschierte, lag Danzig in Trümmern. Sogar Sakralbauten und Kirchen wurden zerstört. Die Haager Konvention schreibt ausdrücklich vor, solche Objekte nicht anzugreifen. Die Rote Armee hat ganz Danzig unnötigerweise zerstört und dafür sollte die Russische Föderation Polen eine Entschädigung zahlen. Die Deutschen sagten, dass Danzig in 100 Jahren von den Polen wieder aufgebaut werden würde.
Heute ist Danzig die schönste Stadt Europas.

L'Armée rouge a inutilement détruit tout Gdansk et pour cela la Fédération de Russie devrait verser une compensation à la Pologne. Les Allemands disaient que Gdansk serait reconstruite par les Polonais dans 100 ans.
Aujourd'hui, Gdansk est la plus belle ville d'Europe.
לטענת תושבי גדנסק, כאשר הצבא הגרמני עזב את גדנסק, נהרסו בתים בודדים בלבד. כשנכנס הצבא הסובייטי, גדנסק הייתה בחורבות. אפילו מבני דת וכנסיות נהרסו. אמנת האג קובעת במפורש לא לתקוף חפצים כאלה. הצבא האדום הרס ללא צורך את כל דנציג ועל כך הפדרציה הרוסית צריכה לשלם פיצויים לפולין. הגרמנים אמרו שגדנסק תיבנה מחדש על ידי הפולנים בעוד 100 שנה. כיום גדנסק היא העיר היפה ביותר באירופה.
Secondo gli abitanti di Gdansk, quando l'esercito tedesco lasciò Gdansk, furono demolite solo poche case. Quando l'esercito sovietico entrò,Gdansk era in rovina. Anche gli edifici religiosi e le chiese furono distrutti. La Convenzione dell'Aia stabilisce esplicitamente di non attaccare tali oggetti. L'Armata Rossa ha distrutto inutilmente tutta Gdansk e per questo la Federazione Russa dovrebbe pagare un risarcimento alla Polonia. I tedeschi dissero che Danzica sarebbe stata ricostruita dai Polacchi in 100 anni. Oggi Danzica è la città più bella d'Europa.
グダニスクの住民によると、ドイツ軍がグダニスクを去ったとき、取り壊された家は数軒だけでした。 ソ連軍が侵入したとき、グダニスクは荒廃していた。 宗教的な建物や教会でさえ破壊されました。 ハーグ条約は、そのようなオブジェクトを攻撃しないことを明確に規定しています。 赤軍は不必要にダンツィヒのすべてを破壊したため、ロシア連邦はポーランドに補償を支払うべきです。 ドイツ人は、グダニスクはポーランド人によって 100 年以内に再建されるだろうと言った。 今日、グダニスクはヨーロッパで最も美しい都市です。

据格但斯克居民介绍，当德军离开格但斯克时，只有几处房屋被拆除。 当苏联军队进入时，格但斯克已是一片废墟。 甚至宗教建筑和教堂也被摧毁。 海牙公约明确规定不得攻击此类物体。 红军不必要地摧毁了整个但泽，为此俄罗斯联邦应该向波兰作出赔偿。 德国人说格但斯克将在100年后由波兰人重建。 今天格但斯克是欧洲最美丽的城市
За словами мешканців Гданська, коли німецька армія залишила Гданськ, було знесено лише кілька будинків. Коли увійшла радянська армія, Гданськ був у руїнах. Були зруйновані навіть культові споруди та церкви. Гаазька конвенція прямо передбачає заборону нападати на такі об'єкти. Червона армія без потреби знищила весь Gdansk і за це Російська Федерація повинна виплатити Польщі компенсацію. Німці казали, що Гданськ відбудують поляки за 100 років. Сьогодні Гданськ є найкрасивішим містом Європи.
Podle obyvatel Gdaňsku bylo při odchodu německé armády z Gdaňsku zbořeno jen pár domů. Když vstoupila sovětská armáda, Gdaňsk byl v troskách. Byly zničeny i náboženské budovy a kostely. Haagská úmluva výslovně stanoví neútočit na takové objekty. Rudá armáda zbytečně zničila celý Gdaňsk a za to by měla Ruská federace zaplatit Polsku náhradu. Němci říkali, že Gdaňsk Poláci znovu postaví za 100 let. Dnes je Gdaňsk nejkrásnějším městem v Evropě.
In the first place i was wonder what is your birth country because of your hard accent then i find out u are german when u started talk german
I find Lukas quite understandable. I also like that he tries to form rather short, easy to understand sentences. Not everyone of DW's audience is a native speaker.
I think Poland should immigrate Some Europeans and have european party.

@@maciejkwiatkowski7558 what is so bad about memories? For some old people childhood memories are often the only thing they have, because they don't remember yesterday.
@@henningbartels6245 There is nothing wrong with remembering places someone had to leave. Perhaps my comment was an over-interpretation of the intentions of this person, but I wrote it because there are many Germans who want to take away from us the areas that once belonged to Germany.
@@maciejkwiatkowski7558 don't take everything literally what some trolls write on UA-cam. But honestly have you ever met some German person in real live who wants to take your plot of land? Besides we live in the European Union with free movement of goods and person. So if someone absolutely want to move to the birthplaces of his or her grandparent, e g. Sczcecin, Gdansk or Wroclaw, they could.
Here in Germany some old people who like to meet up to watch old photos of Breslau and sing Silesian folk song are of considered as revanchistic - which I think is not fair. I guess there are also some old folks in Poland who like to dress up in folk costumes from Lwow or sing local songs from there.
The irony of Poland welcoming followers of Stepan Bandera.
I already can see the young mother with her 4 year old child thinking about Bandera all the time. And how the old grandma with her dog in the refugee camp knits Bandera scarfs... Get a life!
@Moon should the Polish not proof they are better people? .. and not just devalue people or refugees because they are of a certain nationality?!
There is no Gdansk the name of the City is Danzig
