Warszawska street is a street of the city of Bydgoszcz, Poland. Its buildings display a mix of eclectic architectural facades and underline the important urban industrialisation in the history of the city.
History and location
[edit]The development of the railway connection with Berlin, achieved in 1851, boosted the north-western districts of the city in the vicinity of the train station:[3] hence, the creation and growth of streets such as Warszawska or Dworcowa.
Warszawska street first appeared (as Karl-strasse) on a 1876 map of Bromberg.[4] On the address book of 1878, only 7 house plots are listed.[1]
Thanks to the thriving activity of the railway, the street was entirely laid down by the end of the 19th century[2] and its organisation did not vary much till today.
The street bore only two names names through its existence:[5]
- 1876 - 1920, Karlstraße (or Ulica Karolowa);
- From 1920, Ulica Warszawska, in reference to the Polish capital Warszawa (Warsaw).
Main areas and edifices
[edit]Tenement at 1, corner with 52 Śniadeckich street
[edit]1874[6]
Original address was Elisabethstraße 38: its first registered holder was Hermann Zindler, a member of the Government chancellery.[7]
The wings of this corner tenement house draw attention towards the double architectural legacy of the Prussian partition and the period of the Polish People's Republic (PRL).[8] The edifice has been refurbished in the last quarter of 2018.[9]

[edit]1870s[6]
The building was owned by Theodor Wronski or Wroinski, a furrier living at 5 Hoffstrasse (present day Jana Kazimierska street near the Old Market square).[1] He was also the landlord of the abutting tenement at 4, non existent today.
The corner building, in need of restoration, has lost all of its architectural decoration.

Knuth's tenement at 3
[edit]1874[6]
The building, then at 23 Carl straße, was owned by Karl Knuth, a painter.[1] He lived there till the turn of the 20th century.[10] In the 1910s, Martin Huhnholz, a tailor, run a business there: the shopping area is still visible today.[11]
No architectural details survived the passage of time, while the eclectic features of the facade are apparent on old pictures.

Spiegel's house at 4
[edit]1880[12]
Although the house had been commissioned in 1880 by Theodor Wronski, also owner of the building at 2 Warszawska street, it was sold one year later to Carl Spiegel, a butcher.[13] The latter opened there a sausage factory during few years.[13] The Spiegel family kept the house till the outbreak of WWII.[14]
This traditional urban house is now less and less ubiquitous in downtown Bydgoszcz. One can see other instances of such building at 37 Gdańska Street or at 3 and 7 3 Maja Street.

The parcel was purchased in 1907 by Gustav Granobs, living atrasse (Józefa Sowińskiego street).[11] Granobs had a large factory built there to accommodate his booming firm Gustav Granobs - Fabryka Filników i Narzędzi created in 1910.[15] The company will eventually grow into today's firm Befana.
