A Walk Through Beautiful Gdansk, Poland!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2021
- Join me for a walk through the beautiful old town of Gdansk in Poland. This Historic city has been Poland's major Baltic port for 1000 years. Once a powerful, cosmopolitan Hanseatic city, it has been a trading centre for the Teutonic Knights, saw the first shots of WW2, and was the birthplace of 'Solidarność', the first free workers union in communist Europe. It's a stunning, beautiful city on the Baltic coast, and one of my fave places to introduce to our Insight Vacations travellers.

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. 🙏
We plan to visit Poland this fall. All our grandparents came to America from Poland early in the 20th century. Based on your terrific video, we will visit Gdansk. Proud of what Poland has accomplished and our Polish heritage!
You will not be disappointed. We visited from Ireland last September. So beautiful
I love Gdansk and Sopot. Greetings from Belarus.

Pozdrowienia z Polski. 🥰🥰
My favorite city in the world 🌎, Gdainsk Poland 🇵🇱 ♥
This city doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thanks for shedding light on its beauty.
Gdansk był bardzo zniszczony podczas 2 wojny swiatowej.Polacy wykonali niesamowitą pracę aby odbudować miasto. To miasto rosło w potęgę dzięki polskiemu zbożu ,soli, drewnie itd. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam
Zapomniałeś napisać przez kogo. Przez wojska sowieckie.
Polacy ,wspanialy Narod.Polska piekny kraj.Boze Poblogoslaw Bohaterow.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
Es ist meine Heimat. Leider haben meine Eltern meine wunderschöne Heimat mit uns Kinder verlassen. 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. Dankeschön für deine Ausführung über diese wunderschöne Stadt. 🙏
Bardzo rzadko zdarza się dobrze zrobiony vlog angielskojęzyczny o Polsce. Ten jest świetny. Na ogół o Polsce ciekawe vLogi robią vlogerzy rosyjskojęzyczni: Rosjanie, Ukraińcy i Białorusini. Bardzo dobre zdjęcia i świetny reaserch. A Polacy? ... filmują najchętniej egzotyczne kraje:-) ps: Czarna perła właśnie dokonała abordażu na statek pogłębiarkę i jest nieco poturbowana a załoga to oczywiście prawdziwi piraci, coś wypili ale nie wiadomo czy był to rum:-)
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!
You show all information in a very interesting way. You so perfect that I think you work as a tourist guide.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! I'm a tour leader for Insight Vacations in Eastern Europe... Have a great day!
Good stuff. Everything you want to know about Gdansk in a single well-condensed video.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent.Good luck in Poland !!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
Excellent history lesson! Poland is a humble country not out for gaining world power yet, they survived/ rebuilt the country after WW11.
Impressive. You are a great storyteller.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
Thanks for making this video. Very beautiful city and history behind ❤️
I hail from Warsaw but honestly Gdańsk is my personal favourite of all the cities in Poland I've ever visited.
Your pictures from your camera are very beautiful, your commentaries are precise and very informative.
THANKS A LOT MAN
GDANSK IT'S GORGEOUS CITY

Many thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my film!
Wspaniały materiał. Pozdrawiam serdecznie ze Śląska.

Gretings from Gdańsk 🤗
Igen - kedvenc lengyel városom a Krakkó, Wroclaw és a Gdansk - Egyenlőre ❤️
This is such a wonderful video.
Thank you very much for a very informative video. I'm Pole and have been many times in Gdańsk but you delivered me with quite a bunch of facts I heard for from you for the first time. Thank you very much !!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
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!
Undoubtedly, the best presentation about my hometown and its history by a foreigner. Whoever you are, thank you for your brilliant presentation and congratulations on your extensive knowledge.
its so nice to listen of your narative and presentation, excellent work
Great video! Thank you for the historical context as well. Learned a few new things about Gdańsk. Lol Warm regards from New York City.

Are you an Aussie ? Thats lit man you know way more than me about my hometown
Wow Nice ..........!!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
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.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my clip! I'm going to keep an eye out for the book. I love Gdańsk and visit often. Take care, and thank you for the comment and info!
@@OnceUponaTimeInKrakow I subscribed to your channel. I'm just watching the culinary episode - "chłodnik" :-))))
@@OnceUponaTimeInKrakow You read the entire trilogy - Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse, Dog Years. The entire Gdańsk trilogy deals with the development of fascism and war episodes, the plot of which takes place in Gdańsk, a city on the border of culture, the "little homeland" of Poles and Germans who have lived together for hundreds of years. Gunter Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize for this. The movie won an Academy Award (1979 or 80)
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.
Good stuff
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
Supper …👍❤️
Proud of my city 🤩😄
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my film! Have a great day!
Me too😃
It looks beautiful with the water so still like that and all the reflections. I miss the old Gdansk before it was gentrified . Who lives in all those new apartments? Not locals I bet.
I think quite a few are AirBnb style rentals. Although, there are plenty of local people in Poland who could afford them. The number of luxury cars I see on the roads here these days is incredible compared to 15 years ago!
when does the walk start?
Tylko Polskę miasto
Everywhere seems deserted. Where are the people?
👍
IT'S DANTZIG!
Shut your mouth german kid, Gdańsk is polish city idiot, he was, is and become polish
@@m-roki3512 Poland is a made up country like Ukraine. And I am not German and far from a kid, you degenerate eastern european.
@@thornil2231 are you calling me a degenerate dummy? that I told the truth??? gosh you don't know history at all, Poland has 1000 years of powerful history, you owe a lot to Poland, and you call it an imaginary state??? do you hear yourself??? Idiot, learn the history of Poland and also Gdańsk by the way, because I can see that you are very thin. In addition, you challenge the Eastern European nation, we are the same as you and not some others, really boy, educate yourself and then we'll talk
@@m-roki3512 Poland like all the eastern European countries were created out of thin air but the foreign power in charge at the time. Maybe you should study History instead of swallowing propaganda.
@@thornil2231 Oh man 😹😹 now you're suddenly writing to me that I'm listening to propaganda?? spare yourself these stories, Poland was created by itself, not from some superpowers, and there were no external influences at all. I'm very good at history and you can't argue that. I don't have to learn history but you do and I don't advise you to listen to lying propaganda and not be manipulated by people who don't know it at all, you can get mad at me now but that's the truth🤭
Old town is a masterpiece, but rest of the city looks poor. Sopot & Gdynia is much safer and clean.
Poor?
Gdynia bezpieczna😃
Are you Aussie?
Yes originally from Australia!
@@OnceUponaTimeInKrakow Love the accent. Cheers mate!
@@p5ychonaut Cheers!
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.

ciekawe czy sa świadomi kontrowersji związanych z solidarnoscią i wałesą
WIELUŃ BYŁ PIERWSZYM ZAATAKOWANYM MIASTEM POLSKIM-ZBOMBARDOWALI NIEMIECCY BARBARZYŃCY SZPITAL...WIĘC-DOUCZ SIE.
Architecture should be German.
No, a lot of this bulidings was bulid when the Gdańsk was in The Polish Kingdom and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Gdańsk was razed to the ground during the war, and after the war it was not rebuilt but built again. It was the same with Wroclaw, Szczecin, Legnica, Elblag, Olsztyn, Warsaw and Poznan and several smaller cities.
The cause of this terrible destruction was the Germans.
WHO cares about Gdańsk its overrated
