Gdańsk is not a German city. Gdańsk was founded by Poles and in over 1000 years of existence, it belonged to Poland for over 700 years. After the WW2, the Germans were displaced from Gdańsk, but earlier, during WW2 the Germans deported Poles from Gdańsk .
997-1227: Gdańsk built by Poles and belonging to the Kingdom of Poland
1227-1294: Duchy of Pomerania (Polish, Slavic nationality)
1294-1308: Kingdom of Poland
1308-1454: Teutonic Order
1454-1466: disputable lands during the Thirteen Years' War (Poland vs the Teutonic Order)
1466- 1793: (over 300 years - Renaissance and Baroque when most beautiful buildings were built) Kingdom of Poland
1793-1807: Kingdoms of Prussia (Germany) - After Prussia made the partitions of Poland together with Russia and Austro-Hungary
1807-1814: Free City of Gdańsk (dependent on the French Empire)
1815-1920: Prussia (Germany)
1920-1939: Free City of Gdansk
1939-1945: Third Reich (Germany occupation)
1945-present: Poland
Hohenzollern był lennikiem Polski i nie mógł zawrzeć sojuszu z nikim innym bez zgody polskiego senatu i małzenstwa tez chyba nie pamiętam
któryś Polski król w padł na pomysl zeby go z tego zwolnić (tez nie pamietam który i dlaczego)
Hohenzollern na to właśnie czekał i się w tedy zaczęło
Bradenburgia sie połączyła z nimi w jednolite prusy w sojuszu
i mielismy od tego czasu przerąbane
zabawne ze któs przed własną śmiercią ( jakiś szlachcic)w Polsce przewidywał to i ostrzegał aby nigdy nie dac wolnej ręki Hohenzollernom
a Polska dyplomacja zrobiła od wrotnie, mielismy bitwe pod wiedniej wzrot ku turcji pozniej rosji a prusy sobie siedziały i czekały
@@kai89tracid Trzeba było wcielić Prusy do Polski i wygasnąć linię Hohenzollerów.
@@davidf2118 Why not? I do remember every US king to this date.
@@davidf2118 Sobieski was used to be called "the lion of the Lechistan" by the Ottomans. Lechistan is a name given to Poland by the middle easterns including Russians that recalls the legend of 3 brothers Lech (Poland), Rus (Russia) and Czech.
Niesamowite że oprócz tradycyjnych punktów zwiedzania mama uczy dziewczynki historii i kultury a one nie wydają sie znudzone co raczej nie jest normą obecnie, BRAWO !!
Its so nice to see that there are parents that actually educate their children and want to show them how diverse the world is. Showing them different perspectives on history and all....brilliant!!!
Central Europe just keeps surprising me with so much beauty...I have to visit at least a few cities in Poland sometime...absolutely stunning!
U are Welcome:)
Yes, Poland is beautiful. Visit - Kraków , Gdańsk , Wrocław , Tatry (Zakopane city) and Bieszczady (mountains), Warsaw , Moszna (" Real Disney Castle"), and many more places. Look for Google.
visit us!
Thanks for your feedback! We're planning to be back in Poland this summer and would love to hear your thoughts on where to go and what to see during our visit.
Deadzio Awesome! Thanks for these suggestions. We definitely love to hear from the locals because it’s always the case...You go to the most popular spots and miss out on some of the gems that have less tourist and sometimes more to offer.
We will check it out. 😉👍
I was born in Gdansk and left in 1984. Thank you for beautiful video. It is wonderful to see when younger generation learns history, it is our hope for the future. God bless you.
My father fought in WW2 and some day I want to retrace his foot steps. Poland is part of that journey,so thanks for your advice on the historic sites to see. All the way from Los Angeles.
I like Poland beautiful country gorgeous people I will go on holiday
Dziewczynki, macie wspaniała MAMĘ.

After this trip and the history lesson these kids will have a really great mental advantage over their age-mates.
Yes, they're learning so much it's just amazing.
Growing Up Without Borders They learn very shalow and sometimes not true facts.
Yes, Gdańsk is simply amazing :) Greetings from Poland :)
Visited Gdansk many times. Love the city and its history. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
We’re glad you enjoyed it!
My birthplace ❤️
Went there in September of last year. Wish I had more time there, going back.
Hi. Are they speaking german or polish?
@@gagagaga3147 definitly polish.
Ohhhh what a great content...again i love this video as i learn a lot today about Poland and the world war... god bless you travel more snd share you experiences and knowledge to us 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ really love this vlogs and the good job the girls you guys are awesome intelligent smart girls 😘😘😘😘
I think that every kid dream is to have a mum like you! So cool that you travel with your girls to so many places!
Thanks! They don't always think I'm so cool. 😳😂😂
travelling is definitely cool but what about algebra, physics and all that boring stuff kids should learn to be able to exist in the future ?
They learn this too. 😉 We homeschool them with a fantastic curriculum.
That was an eye-opener for me. Having followed the struggles of Lech Wałęsa and Solidarność in the 1980s, I expected Gdansk to be a grim industrial town, not the beautiful place you portray.
I presume the new build outskirts, where the industries are, looks differently from the center of the city. The center is rebuild because there were heavy fightings spring 45, but Poland took great pains to rebuild really nicely....
wspaniale dziewczyny i wspaniala mama.Powodzenia.
Dziękuję bardzo za cudowny komentarz!
I am from Poland but I’m leaving In US three young beautiful girls and Mam this is the best UA-cam what I’m seeing right now i’m going to follow you traveling
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy all our videos! Your country has delicious food! 😋🙌
You guys are beautiful people.
PS. Greetings from Poland. :)
the museum looks incredible! makes me want to learn more about history for sure.
It looks like it used to be a Hanseatic League city of old. Thank you for the great tour!
Indeed it was 🙂
I really enjoyed your video.
I will be in Gdansk (and around Poland) next August and will follow some of your advice.
Your girls are amazing, lucky to have a mother like you (I was lucky enough to have a grandmother who gave me a passion for travel, and it's the best thing that can be done).
It was great to see my old town Gdańsk, thank you for that! This is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and I had a privilege to live there for many years and my sons were born there as well. Girls, you are eloquent, beautiful, and you are very lucky to be traveling like this with your parents :-) Oh, and I am writing from Ontario, Canada:-)
I was born in Gdansk as well, lived in Przymorze by the beach , study in Gdynia and end up in London Ontario Canada. Small world. I miss the sea and beautiful architecture of Gdansk, rich history and open people on the streets of Sopot. Great video. Thank you
Thank you I,m watching this in Western Australia. My second Home, first one is Polska. Regards.
Looking forward to cycling Poland, on my Ragley Mountain Bike, in 2020. Definitely stopping in Warsaw, Gdansk, and Krakow.
Enjoy! Sounds like you’re going to have quite the adventure.
One word: amazing.
What a lovely family you are. Girls are so adorable and they have wonderful mom. I enjoy a lot watching your movies. Keep up with the amazing work you do. And I'm really happy to see you feeling good in our country and you've had a good time here.
I am so glad you went to that museum . It was so interesting and sad. War is so awful. What a beautiful city . Just got to the map part, love this trip .
21:05 Yes, "lody" is just ice cream in our language:P
Yeah. That's funny. 😂😂
What a wonderful childhood. Learning by traveling. Thank you for this film. I'm wery proud cause I was actually born in beautiful Gdansk and went to Music Academy there. As 18 years old in 1980 I remember Solidarity and Lech Walęsa's uprising. We were wery active as well throwing balons with red paint on Lenins statue. Thanks igen for this vlog.
21:40 In three weeks I will be there on vacation. My favorite place. Have a nice trip.
It's wonderful when a mother of three girls shows them the world of various cultures while educating them. This helps girls open up to the world and to people of other cultures. A very positive vlog.
Nice. Watching from India . Used alot of your videos during my Switzerland trip . Thanks a lot.
That's awesome!!! I'm so glad they were helpful for you.
I am grateful and delighted you're advertising my city.
Just to add a few anecdotes to your great video, the place where you spent the night at the beginning of your video is my neighbourhood called Zaspa. This neighbourhood hosted the city airport till the 70's when a new airport was built outside the city. On its place they built, as you stated, communist blocks of flats which till the end of 90's were all grey (unpainted). From then on they were painted to look more cheerful and attractive. There're also plenty of murals and street art some of which you've shown on your video. The neighbourhood itself is very big and stretches up to the seaside where there's a huge revamped park that then goes up to the next town called Sopot (shown at the end of your video) with plentiful bike roads for bikers, runners, skateboarders and the like.
Oh wow! Thanks so much for sharing all these details and info. We loved our time there!
Four beautiful girls in my country and in my town. Thank You for this movie and greetings from me to You. Your travels are great lessens for Mom and daughters . All the best for You.
Gdansk is CLEAN!!! Love that Poland is so clean
Poland is amazing!
Hallo again, welcome in my country. 👍😁🏵️🌼☀️
Great video, thank you 👍😁♥️
Thanks so much for the warm welcome!
Hi i am aslam from India i want to come Poland i want some work pls help me anybody
Thank you so much, I was looking for information about Gdanzk, since I started traveling I have always wanted to visit this city but I've never had the opportunity. I hope the new year can open more opportunities to travel. The world is so beautiful and we have the opportunity and good fortune to discover it.
Poland had this city long time ago lool
A very nice video !! Despite I'm Polish it was interesting to watch it. Bravo.
I just adore this town in Poland I always find myself coming back here to watch it on UA-cam thanks UA-cam and thanks Mom with your super sweet smart Daughters 😊🙏🏼❤️
Aww that’s awesome! I’m so glad you enjoy watching the video!
Jesteście cudowne
LOL I miss my city, but you guys visiting Zaspa, I did not see that coming. I grew up in Zaspa. When i was about 9 y old walking to the school, construction workers dig up remains of defenders executed by German solders in Zaspa (polish post office 5:15 ). Gdansk is very specific city with very long history over 1000 years old, I love it. Not to far from Gdansk is Malbork Castle .... biggest in the world if you like history try to stop by. Have fun.
i grew up in Zaspa too, was equally surprised to see it on the video 😂. I lived in ul. Leszczynskich and went to school n.48
@@adamwnt Tak jak ja, tylko ja mieszkalem na Meissnera
gdanski72 o jejku to bardzo blizko. A w jakich latach? Ja urodziłem się w ‘78 i żyłem na Leszczyńskich do ‘93
Ghe, ghe, watching from Gdansk. Originally from the Netherlands, but I've been working and living here since August 1st 2016. You were there August 2018, I could see that by state of the new apartment buildings along the river and August is the month of the Year Market.
I think that traveling is the best part of my life. Great vlog.
We'd have to agree with you. 😉
Cute family. I and my family are American. We moved permanently moved to Gdańsk. Life here is far superior to life back in America. Come back in a few years. Its growing fast like a Chinese city.
That's great! Sounds like you're really enjoying it there.
Enjoyed every minute of this video. We were all entertained by your joy of sharing your experience in this beautiful city. Hope to find more videos like this one. 😃👏
So glad you like it! I hope you enjoy all our other videos we’ve created about the different cities/countries we’ve visited.
I have to say watching your travels that unlike most of others your girls are getting the best history lesson ever .. BRAVO
Really enjoy your EUROPE tour. Your girls are so beautiful & smart:)))xxxxxxx
Thanks so much! I'll let the girls know. ❤️❤️
you girls are the most lovely guides I have ever seen :-D
Hey there! Welcome to Poland, I quite enjoyed watching your adventures and it's so great that you travel with children and work everything out together. I wanted to add few things to the points you were making about the history of Gdańsk, as I thought the things you said might give the impression of Gdańsk and Pomerania being solely a German area before the WW2, which would be rather incorrect. Polish and German elements have been mixing here ever since the Polish ruler Konrad of Masovia invited German Teutonic order (the 1200s) to come over and help defend Poland from pagan tribes of Prussians, who were located in today's Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia etc., and were organising frequent raids. The Teutonic order has overstayed its welcome, and through German settlement in the area, founded its own ("Teutonic") state, competing with Poland. Poland replaced one headache with another, as the two states would often find themselves warring. Later on due to high taxes, some of the cities of the Teutonic state would rebel and join the Polish Crown (at the time multi-ethnic and multi-rligious) as a German-speaking province Royal Prussia (name appropriated from the pagan tribe that used to exist there). With some later changes the name Prussia was used o denote the German province/state that you mentioned. Polish and German history of this area are very intertwined, which is still visible in local names (such as mine). If you were looking for local reading, "The Brass Drum" by Gunther Grass (who won Nobel prize in literature) is a good recommendation.
Thanks so much for this comment! As you can see I'd don't really know too much of the history of Gdansk. In the car ride there, we listened to a very long and complicated talk that explained quite a bit about it but I couldn't do it justice with trying to explain it all.
Who falsified your German name ? SZMIT looks terrible !
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders In Prussia was more than 60% Polish citizens and Gdańsk was free city and wasn`t a part of Germany. Germany always was trying took what doesn`t belong to them. Prussia was in Polish Kingdom even 300 years.
Pawel, can you do videos on Polish history?
Great video! I liked the music and always enjoy the history lesson. Thanks! Ohio
Thanks Barb!!!
Thank you very much for that much positive words and great movie about my mother city 👍👍

Ah, thanks so much!
6:43 Paczki !!! Take a cofee and donat :) Unforgetable.
Coffee yes but we had the yummy ice creams instead.
Such a sweet and lovely family. Thank you for your videos. XOXOXO
I used to live in one of those Americans admired baroque apartments, hated, it was cold with high ceilings. Always wanted to live in one of those " building blokes " homes. To me, they were cozy and warm.... How times change, now these brick apartments cost millions.
Mama the best!
Thanks for such an awesome video!
Thanks for the awesome comment! 🙏❤️
Great! Thanks for sharing it. The Buildings' picture remind me my city in Brazil. Belo Horizonte downtown is similar. A question... which program are using to show the Map of the countries. Very, very cool! I watching from Cambodia. #commongroundscafe #tiagocamboja

So sweet family U are.Thx for information greatings from Turkey
1989 geezz! not that long ago. Thanks for all the neat facts. I enjoyed them. Also Shantel, Julia has passed you up in height. I have never watched videos of the same people over a certain amount of time like your Africa series and now Switzerland. They have all grown so much wonderful! Except I miss my two boys being small. But you sure have lots of great memories.
What a great video and the museum shots and scenery are stunning ! Definitely worth visiting. Thanks guys :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻💕
excellent indeed thanks
Gdańsk , Sopot , Gdynia - Ok :)
Wow, I've read through a few comments and have to agree with them. You have a beautiful family. Your girls will be miles ahead of their peers. How engaging and articulate they all are; amazed at the genuinely beautiful, yet simple amber 'bugs', but empathetic in their responses to the atrocities that man can do unto others. After all that I have to say the information I received from the vlog about Gdansk was amazing! I'm subscribed!!
Thanks so much for the encouragement and kind works. This is what keeps us going!
Everyone's who interesting history and this type of museums highly recommended to visit the House of Terror in Budapest. Great video. I been in Poland couple of times but never in Gdansk. I love Morskie Oko and the surrounding area so much, I think one of the best holiday destination.
I was in Budapest 3 y. ago buy I,have not visit Terror Museum.I know very well Magyar history...
The fit mum with the girls. Enjoying your vids girls. :D god bless
Hello my beautiful family, about 17 days i take off and see you all and love you all , and Jerome from Switzerland!
That’s nice. We’re not in Switzerland for a while. I hope you get installed nicely.
Brilliant
Beautiful City I was born and grew up in Gdansk , some of my friends are have German grandparents ......
You grew up in a beautiful city. Has it changed much since you were little? Probably politically yes but the way it looks no?

You're welcome
Happy weekend
A perfect family.
Ah, that’s so sweet. I would say perfect though. 😂😂😂
nice. please do more
please do more videos from Poland!
We'll have to come back and make more. Please tell me...are you from Poland? I'm trying to figure out why do so many people love our videos about Poland?!?
+Growing Up Without Borders Because we are quite crazy about our Poland. And many Poles checks YT with new videos like yours to answer any negative opinions. It's kind of obsession.
Watching and subscribed from
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
All 4 of you girls are
BEAUTIFUL
AWESOME & AMAZING...
(I have seven(7) sisters).lol.
Thanks for subbing! Wow 7 sisters! That must have been a really fun household.
I was in Gdansk in 1979. The difference between then and today is like night and day.
Oh wow! I can imagine it’s changed so much.
Nice to now US citizens now Somting about Poland
We're actually Canadians but we lived in Florida for a few years so we probably sound American. 😂😂We learn so much when we go to these different cities. History literally comes to life for us.
Pani Mama to wzór wszystkich mam. Brawo!
Thanks!
I have been to that museum and its incredible 👍
I know we couldn’t believe how good it was.
nice mom and video
Fabulous job Lil Ladies and Momma 😊👌🏻❤️😉
Thanks!
5:55 Actually it didn't started in Gdańsk, because the first protest, month earlier, was made by the crew of the helicopter and not only factory (PZL) in the town of Świdnik (by bigger city of Lublin), wich was like an inspiration for workers in Gdańsk to start their own protest. May dad is one of the PZL protesters ;)
