    Awesome film. You are a perfect narrator guide, a lovely voice to listen to, and you tell a most interesting story. I visited Gdansk in the autumn of 2020 and I love the place but I wished I could have seen your video before it. I am actually planning a second visit now so your guide will be very useful indeed. The Solidarity museum is so vibrant and fill me with such awe. I remember the days of 1980 very well and it is inspiring to see what change is possible if we unite and just put our collective minds to it. Thank you!

    This is a wonderful video introducing me to Poland. I ran into an English gent whilst on Grimsey Island a couple of weeks ago. He told another woman & I at the guesthouse, that we should visit Poland because it's a beautiful country with a lot of history & very nice people etc. I said, okay. I will. During the last week of my trip, I met a super nice guy from Poland who was also touring Faroe Islands & he agreed with what the English gent told me. So now, I've added Gdańsk, Poland to my September itinerary. Is there a link to Agnes' tour? I'm a little late to viewing this & not sure if I missed it mentioned in comments already. Thank you!

Ich fahre jedes Jahr in die wunderschöne Stadt, Sie hat Geschichte, Kultur, Moderne, pulsierende Stadt, wunderschöne Natur, ganz tolle Menschen und ich habe natürlich auch die Schattenseiten mit Solidarnosc erlebt. Meine Tante war die Künstlerin Elzbieta Szczodrowska, die hat damals Gdansk mit aufgebaut und war Professorin an der Kunstakademie in Gdansk. Sie hat mit meinem Onkel Robert Peplinski bei der Solidarnosc Bewegung mitgemacht und das Denkmal Solidarnosc für die Verstorbenen von 1970 in der Lenin Werft erstellt. Leider ist Sie und mein Onkel verstorben, aber ich fahre trotzdem jedes Jahr in meine Heimat und werde dort wieder hinziehen, weil diese Menschen Ihre Kultur, Ihre Familien , Geschichte und Natur zu schätzen und pflegen wissen.

    Why King Arthur?
    In the Middle Ages, Europe experienced many famine events caused by crop failures. The grain harvests were affected the most. In West Europe, wheat was the main cultivar and as it requires a long growth period it was also the most susceptible to the severe fluctuation of weather patterns. The small wheat harvest being the base of staple food, equated to famine. England, (if one counts it as a part of Europe ;) have had seen such traumatic events quite often. The most ‘famous’ was the Great Famine of 1315-1317.
    Agricultural practices in Poland then were different, and they haven’t had relied so heavily on a single staple food crop - WHEAT. The RYE was the other significant cultivar that produces smaller yields but more consistently even in bad weather seasons.
    That's why Gdańsk was so important merchant port and the Vistula River the umbilical cord feeding starving Europe on occasions.
    Taking into account the frequency of famine events in England one might infer that the merchants under King Arthur's emblem were 'the best' customers in Gdańsk those days (what about today ? :).
    So, why King Arthur's name was selected for Merchant Court?
    It should be obvious by now ... marketing in the business is everything!

    Damn, I'm impressed. You made a great clip. I enjoyed watching it. Many Poles don't have such knowledge about this city. I have often corrected historical inaccuracies in UA-cam comments. I bow my head before your great work. Congratulations !!! Gdańsk was destroyed in 86%. Sovieci did the main damage after the end of hostilities. I highly recommend Gunter Grass's book "The Tin Drum" or the 1976 movie. The Old Town was only partially rebuilt. It is actually contemporary construction with reconstructed facades. The buildings in the city were more dense. Referring to the cosmopolitan traditions of the city, a Theater was built referring to the tradition of Elizabethan theater. Shakespeare festivals are held there. This is a very interesting contemporary building. A less known fact is the bombing of the city of Wieluń. It was the first act of II W.W. . The first bomb fell at 5:21 on All Saints Hospital. 75% of the city's fabric was destroyed.

      Wieluń is a town, not a city. It had (and still has) no military, administrative or industrial importance. By choosing a town rather than a city as the war's first target for bombardment, Germany signalled to the world that it was waging a total war and not a conventional one.

    Lech Walenca war damals unser Nachbar. Wir haben mit seinen Kindern im Hof gespielt. Ich habe noch Bilder von der damaligen Korrespondenz mit den Minister und meinen Onkel Robert Peplinski in Warschau, wo es um dieses Denkmal ging. Der Minister schaute sich das Model dieses Denkmal an und sagte , es sollte so klein bleiben, wie das Modell, aber mein Onkel meinte, wenn ich das Denkmal mache, dann soll es so groß sein, damit jeder es sieht. Ich habe auch Bilder mit den einzelnen Platten am Denkmal die meine Tante in Ihrem Attelier erstellt hat. Schaut mal in die Brigida Kirche in Gdansk, dort hatte die Bewegung Solidarnosc Unterschlupf gefunden. Der Pfarrer wurde in den 80 er Jahren gefoltert und anschließend getötet, weil er dieser Bewegung Unterschlupf geleistet hatte. Dort sieht man sehr viel von meiner Tante Elzbieta Szczodrowska und meinen Onkel Robert Peplinski . Dankeschön für deine Ausführungen, ganz toll dargestellt. 🙏

    This is very good, but a bit sanitized. You seem to want to avoid the reason why so many buildings are in the Dutch or Flemish style. Could it be that many of the original inhabitants were Dutch or Flemish or. God forbid, Germans? As Poland emerges from communism it has started to deal with its past, including the fact that 5 million Germans were forced out and replaced by 5 million Poles who had come from what is now western Ukraine and Belarus. Most honest Poles will tell you that they are inhabiting a city and a region that was not really all that Polish, but was at best partly Polish in some places. They will tell you that their ancestors came from places such as Lvov and Wilna. At least they are being honest.
