Pomorska Street is an important street in downtown Bydgoszcz.
Location
Pomorska Street is roughly oriented south–north, starting from Gdańska Street up to the railway line to the north. It crosses important thoroughfares, such as Śniadeckich Street, Cieszkowski Street or Swiętojańska street.
Naming
Through history, the street had the following names:[1]
- Before 1920, "Der weg nach Schwetz" (Road to Świecie), then "Rinkauerstraße" (from Rinkau -Template:Lang-pl-, a village north of Bromberg)
- 1920–1939, Ulica Pomorska (southern part)-Ulica Szczecińska (northern part)
- 1939–1945, Robert Ley Straße
- since 1945, Ulica Pomorska
Current namesake of the street comes from the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.
History
The axis has since long been the path linking Bydgoszcz to Świecie, Template:Lang-de, hence its name on one of the first recorded maps from 1800,[2] "Der weg nach Schwetz" (The road to Świecie).
In fact, this path was an historical thoroughfare, existing before Gdańska Street, much like the way Dworcowa Street came to existence. During the second part of the 19th century, the growing extension of the city led to the shaping of the avenue, called Rinkauerstraße under Prussian rule.
In 1867, with a new territory extension of the city, the whole street was comprised within the municipal area.[3] Its northern tip "Verlängerte Rinkauerstraße" (Extended Rinkauer street) was the location of Prussian army barracks, Template:Lang-de:[4] the Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 148 was part of the 41st Division in the pre-World War I organization.
After the end of World War I and the rebirth of Poland, the street has been renamed "Pomorska" in its southern part and "Szczecińska" in its northern part (old Extended Rinkauer street),[5] where the 61st Infantry Regiment (Template:Lang-pl) was billeted.
During World War II, Nazi authorities renamed the avenue Robert Ley Straße.[6] At the end of the conflict, the street got back its original calling, along its whole length.[7]
Main places and buildings
Alexander Timm House at 17 Gdańska Street, corner with Pomorska Street
Built in 1852[8] by B. Brinkmann, and 1910 by O.F.W. Muller
At the time of its erection, it was the largest habitation house in Bydgoszcz.

Tenement at 1, corner with 2 Dworcowa Street
1884,[9] by Karl Bergner
This corner house has been commissioned by Mr Jäfel, a lithograph.[10] In 1908, a drugstore run by Dr Aurel Kratz opened there: he was also selling goods for cameras[11] until World War I. He then moved to Friedrichstraße.[12]
The building is on a triangular footprint plot, a challenge for the designer. It displays a nice bay window on the corner facade. The first floor windows, around the bay-window are more adorned than others with flanking pilasters topped with corbels and a frieze of ornaments. The second floors windows are capped by triangular pediments and have also small corbels and pilasters. The 3rd level openings are only flanked by clean pilasters and pediment topped. A line of designed corbels runs beneath the roof.

Wilhelm ßiehl tenement, at 3
Registered on Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship heritage list, Nr.727947, Reg.A/1530, April 4, 2009[13]
1878[8]
The house was commissioned by Wilhelm ßiehl, a baker, who lived in Bahnhofstraße.[14] At this time, it was one of the first habitation building to be erected in the street.[4] Wilhelm ßiehl had the tenement rebuilt in 1895 to accommodate more tenants.
The facade, renovated in 2015, displays features of Neo-renaissance style: symmetry, recurrent motifs such as vegetal garlands and pediments on first level windows, series of corbels supporting the roof, thin topping frieze. Openings at ground floor have an ornamental decor repeating all along their frame.

Carl Lachmann tenement, corner house at 1 Podolska Street
1906–1908
German Historicism
The house was commissioned by Carl Lachman,[11] a butcher, owner of a company producing meat, the Gebrüder Lachmann seated at nearby Bahnhofstraße 95a (now Nr.8).[11] Present corner was located at Rinkauerstraße 4/Buchholzstraße 1.
The facade, renovated in 2015, reminds of the realizations of Fritz Weidner, a fertile architect in Bydgoszcz between 1897 and the 1930s. He designed famous houses in the city, such as in Gdańska Street (28, 79, 34) or at 2 Śniadeckich Street. The house presents forms of German historicism, in a transitional phase between the eclecticism and secession style. Both elevations are purposefully designed on asymmetry, as a means of architectural expression, like the gables' shape, the only bay window in the corner or even the location of the entry gate. Care have been put in the adornment of the latter, in the complexity, both, of the door itself and the rich ornament framing the gate.

Albert Voigt Tenement, at 5
Registered on Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship heritage list, Nr.601394, Reg.A/996, February 4, 1992[13]
1896,[8] by Józef Józef Święcicki
The house was commissioned by Albert Voigt, a railway clerk.[15] In 1910, a restaurant was run there by Christian Rollauer.[16] In 1923, the building renovated by families Rodziewiczówna and Grzymala-Siedlecki was the first place to house a charity kitchen managed by the Union of Poles from the Eastern Borderlands (Template:Lang-pl). Its goal was to help the displaced Poles victims of the borders changes after the Peace of Riga with USSR. After 1925 the kitchen, led by Anna von Helmersen, living at 12 Jan and Jędrzej Śniadeckich Street, moved to 17 Cieszkowskiego Street. Today, the tenement houses among others, associations Wujek Porada and Siedlisko, helping out people with alcoholism problems.[16] The edifice underwent a rehabilitation in 2007.[17]
Among corner buildings of Pomorska Street, this house stands out as it is not built according to a rectangular, but a triangular footprint (like the tenement at Nr.1): Józef Swiecicki met the requirement, perfectly creating a neo-baroque building skillfully closing the junction with Podolska street. The richness of the architecture echoes those displayed on other tenement by the same architect in the city, such as the Hotel "Pod Orlem" from 1896 or the Tenement at Freedom Square 1 from 1898. In particular some elements are to be underlined: - balconies on Pomorska facade with wrought iron balustrade; - lion masks motifs on the corner of the house; - angel faces with wings ornamenting all facades. The facade giving onto Podolska street has got more Neo-renaissance features.

1934,[8] by Mieczysław Krąkowski[18]
The edifice has been commissioned in the 1930s by the Polish Telephone Joint-stock Company or PAST (Template:Lang-pl) to host the local seat of Bydgoszcz. There were working the switchboard operator, mainly women, manually connecting local and/or distant calls.
The functionalist forms display smooth façades lined with ceramic tiles in its lower part. The entrance is supported by pillars and the wrought iron main door is decorated with a geometric pattern.

Tenement at 7A, corner house with 1 Zduny Street
1893–1894[8]
August Schild, a cooper[19] had his barrel workshop and storage there from 1895 to 1903 (ancient address "Rinkauerstraße 7"). In 1904, Ignace Sergot, a painter, moved there from 13 Jan and Jędrzej Śniadeckich Street;[20] he lived there until the middle of the 1920s.
This corner building displays various architectural elements of decoration on its facades, from triangular and half-circled pediments, to pilasters flanking the window openings, from discrete balustrades to prominent corbels under the roof. Worth mentioning are the two massive balconies overhanging streets crossing, with salient balusters and consoles.

Apparently, the house (with ancient address "Rinkauerstraße 9") has been commissioned by Carl Kretschmer, a copper craftsman, specialized in building machines and pipes.[12] In 1925, Mr. Jasiemicz, a master painter, lived there: the firm he worked for was established in 1835.[21]
The facade displays typical features of Art Nouveau architecture: simplified motifs, wavy shapes, floral ornaments. This elevation echoes facades from architect Erich Lindenburger one can find on Dworcowa Street, at Nr.45 and 47 (both from 1906). A recent refurbishment of the house has given it back its colors and architectural details.

Although the plot was built prior to the current building (e.g. owner Ludwig Posorski, a locksmith in 1885[10]), the actual edifice had Julius Wernick for first landlord. He lived at Nr.12.
The facade displays many architectural details: - a gate flanked with pilasters with corbels; - 1st floor windows topped with curved pediments, adorned with vegetal motifs; - 2nd floor windows feature rectangular pediments, with ornaments. A series of corbels tops the elevation.

The tenement at then "Rinkauerstraße 11" was first the property of Eduard Tapper, a rentier.[10] In the interwar years, it was the address of a painting firm "Jasiewicz i Syn" (Jasiewicz & son), run by Martin Jaciewicz. Their neighbor was Friedrich Steinborn, a tailor.[24]
The building, though in bad shape, keeps some remnants of its initial architectural cachet: symmetry of the facade, recurrent motifs such as vegetal garlands and pediments on first level windows and slight avant-corps to underline the frontage.

20th century
The present house, somehow ordinary, is located on a plot where has been standing a cabaret in the 1920s (Bi-Ba-Bo) and the 1930s (Oaza). At that time, the numbering of the street was still echoing the old Prussian one, even though street names changed (from "Rinkauerstraße" to "Pomorska street"): hence the address of the cabaret at Nr.12, now Nr.19.

Corner house with Śniadeckich Street
1893
August Freitwald, a master shoemaker, owned this building which address was then Elisabethstraße 51[25] until 1910.[26]
The architecture reflects main features of end of 19th century Eclecticism, so present in the streets of Bydgoszcz (e.g. Dworcowa Street, Gdańska Street). One can notice a lot of motifs adorning windows, those on the first floor are topped with triangular pediments containing angel faces. Corbels are present on the second floor and at the top of the facade, supporting the roof.

Historicism & forms of Northern Mannerism
Gustav ßibbe, a butcher, has been the first owner in 1880[14] of the house standing on this plot (Rinkauerstraße 59). However, the style suggests a rebuilding happened end of the 19th century. In the 1915, a restaurant run by Richard Franke moved there.[12]
The facade as we know it, is very close to the one designed by Józef Święcicki in Albert Voigt tenement, at 38 Śniadeckich Street which dates back to 1893. The elevation is remarkable by its care of symmetry:
- On the first level, windows alternate triangular and arched pediments, with recurrent scrollworks in cartouche beneath;
- The second floor ornamentation is more simple, with decorative motifs topping the windows;
- A corbel table crowns the facade.

Anton Opiß, a tax collector, has commissioned the construction of the tenement at then Rinkauerstraße 58 in the early 1880s, and moved there in 1886.[27] It then was the workshop in the 1900s of a locksmith, Albert Pohl. After 1920, on the ground floor was located the workshop of Piotr Malinowski, a tailor:[28] his name is still visible above the current shop showcase.
Nice elevation, underlined by bossage and arched windows on the ground floor. Pediments topping first level windows are adorned with delicate vegetal ornaments.

Hartung tenement, at 27
1911–1912[8]
The building has been commissioned by Ernest Hartung, a merchant who had his shop set up on the ground floor. He was selling delicatessen, wine and spirits.[12] Initial address was Rinkauerstraße 18. Georg Körnig, another retailer, had his business -a hardware store- at this place.[12]
The tenement elevation reflects nascent features of Art Nouveau in Bydgoszcz, echoing similar buildings, such as in Dworcowa Street or Vienna Secession house in Gdańska Street. The facade does not show wavy shapes (apart on the gable), typical in Art Nouveau, but its decoration boasts other architectural details:
- Long vertical lines, stressed by the bay window;
- Friezes, displaying vegetal motifs, including small scenes with animal figures, architecture symbols (trowel and hammer) and building completion date (1912);
- cartouches with ornaments and corbels.

1896–1897[8]
This tenement, at then Rinkauerstraße 57, was owned most of the Prussian period by a tailor, Friedrich Frommholz.[26]
The building was constructed at the same time as its neighbours at Nr.26 and 30. It mirrors more closely Nr.30 architectural features: adorned pediments at each floor, corbels at the top and a light avant-corps topped with a gable and vegetal ornaments.

The tenement at then Rinkauerstraße 19 has been the property of Ernest Hartung, also owner of Nr.18.[29] It dates back to the same period, i.e. the 1910s.
The specificity of this edifice is that, albeit it lost a majority of its architectural details, superb Art Nouveau ornaments are still preserved:
- A stylized eagle above the entry gate,
- Motifs on the first floor,
- Vegetal decoration on the second floor, wavy shapes as a frieze on top.

The building style echoes closely the one at Nr.28, offering a sort of continuity in the facade decoration. One will notice:
- the main gate, topped by a figure of bearded man,
- the right side of the elevation, underlined by pilasters, adorned cartouche and the figure of a spread-wing eagle overlooking a coat of arms on the second level.
- a series of cartouches and corbels below the roof line.

This building, together with the neighbouring in Chrobrego street, have been commissioned and managed by the Beamten – Wohnungsverein GmbH Bromberg (Housing Association Bromberg) till 1920, then by the Bydgoska Spółdzielnia Mieszkaniowa (Bydoszcz Housing Cooperative). The aim of both bodies was to provide housing for fair prices to those in need, managing several dozens of tenements in various districts of the city.[34]
Fairly renovated in 2020, one can highlight the elaborate wooden decoration of its entrance door.

The building's facade lost all its decoration. One can still notice two kernel dormers and a bell shape gable. The door still displays the former street number (55) from the Prussian era, kept until the end of the 1920s.

Hermann Schulz, a wealthy baker,[36] charged Fritz Weidner to design his habitation, which initial address was Rinkauerstraße 22-23. A thorough refurbishment has been carried out in 2015 by a real estate firm.[37]
Architecturally, the facade echoes the style of corner house with Podolska street, at the southern part of Pomorska street. The façade of the building is decorated with reliefs, floral stucco ornaments and putti. Arched windows, loggias, balconies flanked by massive columns richly adorn the elevation. One can underline the detailed low-relief of Demeter with Cupid as a putto on the first floor, testifying to the wealth of original owner (H. Schulz): as a baker, the image of the goddess of corn, grain, and harvest could be the only patron.

1883
The temple has been used by the local congregation of Baptists since its inception at the crossing with Cieszkowskiego Street. Until 1945, a majority of goers were German. Neglected by years of war, the church needed urgent repair that came only in 1966–1968, when a thorough renovation of the building was made possible with a financial support of the World Council of Churches. This refurbishing encompassed roof, repainting of the interiors and the modernization of the design on the architecture model of temples in Protestant countries. The new building, dedicated in November 1968, became at the time the most modern Methodist Church in Poland.
The temple is a three-nave chapel flanked on its front by two towers topped with steep pyramidal roofs. Neo-gothic elements can be noticed when looking at the huge, arched windows, the fascias and the portal. Some Italian themes are included in the display of the rose window in the facade and the geometrical frieze running at the top of each tower, beneath the gable. Initial designs did not plan any traceries for side windows, lessening the architectural harmony of the edifice. The chapel has got a dedicated place for the choir. The presbytery still houses the original baptismal pool, but it is no more used. In some parts of the temple one can notice Romanesque architecture influence. A four-storey living area, covered with a low-pitched roof has been added on the north-west part of the temple. The church has appreciable acoustics and its decor and furnishings made it considered as the most modern among the Polish Methodist Churches.

Eclecticism, forms of Neo-Renaissance & Neo-Baroque
The first building on the plot dates back to the 1870s. In 1896, has been erected a designed, new, grander tenement, commissioned by the rentier and real estate dealer Gustav Reschke (who already commissioned buildings at 11 and 17 Cieszkowskiego Street). The ground floor was devoted to retail stores and the rest was a four-storey apartment.[44]
A full revitalization of the house, bringing back the original facade appearance with its reconstructed architectural details and original colors, has been carried out in 1993–1994.[44]
The four-storey building has a "L" shape with bay windows and balconies on the first and second floor. The front elevation is symmetrical, with regularly laid out architectural decoration. Some of the first floor windows are flanked by Ionic pilasters. Second floor windows are topped with stylized acanthus pediments. The ensemble has been renovated in 2021.

Eclecticism, forms of picturesque architecture & Neo-Baroque
The first building on the plot dates back to the 1870s. The actual tenement was commissioned by Wilhelmin Wiemer, owner of the lot at Rinkauerstraße 44. Finally, for financial disputes, the project has been carried out by Karl Bergner in place of Weidner. The construction of the building was completed in 1899.[44] The ground floor was devoted to shopping and restoration retail and upper floors for housing. On October 11, 1936, Richard Klewin, a dentist, acquired the building.[45] During the communist era the building housed the restaurant "Gromada", and since 2000, restaurant "Pierogarnia pod Aniołami" ("Dumpling Under the Angels"), run by Caritas association for Bydgoszcz Diocese.[46] The facade has undergone a full overhaul in 1994.[44]
The three-storey building has a "U" shape footprint with a beveled corner. The corner elevation displays an avant-corps as well as the facade onto Cieszkiewski street, which is also enriched with a two-storey bay window.[44] The corner, capped by a spired roof lantern, is flanked on the top with triangular gables with dormer windows. The second floor bay-window is an open arcaded loggia supported by Ionic columns.[44]

Art nouveau, forms of early Modern architecture
Although the plot has been occupied from the late 19th century,[47] the current building was built on behalf of Adolf Haase, a railway engineer,[48] who moved there one year after its completion in 1904.
The facade features elements of Art Nouveau details, with its curved shape of the gable or the gate, as well as the presence of thin pilasters flanking middle windows up to the top. However, Art Nouveau ornamentation can not be detected further on, other than rudimentary pediments. We rather discover lean elevation rid of motifs, characterized by vertical lines, simply decorated balconies, typical of early modernism.

The plot at Rinkauerstraße 42, before this tenement, was owned by a gardener[32] who sold it to Wilhelm Rahne, a plumber,[12] who had the current building erected.
Thanks to a recent restoration in December 2014, the facade now boasts its original style. Few motifs are voluntarily displayed: an elaborate ornament above the entry gate and five eyebrow dormers on the roof. The balance of the elevation is granted by a small balcony in the centre, balanced by two grand bow window on each side, both of which are topped by a balcony. This naked frontage, combined with long vertical lines of windows and bow windows recall early modernist style elements.

Art nouveau, forms of early Modern architecture
After its completion, the actual building, then at Rinkauerstraße 39, housed the "Bromberger wirtschaftsverein" (Bromberg business club).[12] In 1933, the place accommodated a factory of wholesale flours and breads, "Panis", then a bakery owned by Jozef Krajnik[52] until the war. After World War II, Zygmunt Ciupek took over the place and run a candy factory, Danuta, in the courtyard, which was soon merged into a local cooperative.[53] Since 1990, a bakery, "Cemak", is anew located there.
The building design echoes houses at Nr.27, with the ornamented gate with floral motifs (in the Art Nouveau style), but also house at Nr.52, by the absence of facade decoration and its lean forms. Once can underline the two long bay windows that run up to the gable, giving balance and stability to the ensemble.

Eclecticism, forms of Neoclassicism
Emanuel Latowski, a turner, bought the building situated at Rinkauerstraße 36 in 1890[54] and had it rebuilt in 1893. He lived there till the end of World War I. Today it is the seat of the Bydgoszcz Association of Houses Owners and Managers (Template:Lang-pl), a 50-year-old local real estate institution.
The main elevation is strikingly classicist: apart from the front gate, all the decoration radiates the notion of symmetry and harmony. Such are the position of pediments, small balustrade and pairs of pilasters. The facade has undergone a recent restoration.

Mr Machalinski, a building contractors had the tenement at Rinkauerstraße 34 erected in 1898. One year later, the first owner was Oskar Wendt.[59]

Tenement at the corner with 21 Świętojańska street
1910–1912

The former address was first owned by Bartholomäus Ferrari, a baker, in 1893,[25] while for the latter, the first landlord was Theofil Krüger, a merchant, after completion of the actual corner house.[12]
The facade lacks adornment, except the three pairs of balconies. On the roof, one can notice symmetrical display of various dormers: gable fronted, eyebrow, curved shaped gable wall ones and shed dormers.

Neo-Renaissance & elements of Neo-Baroque
Julius Hoffman, a secretary, was the first owner of the double house (Johannisstraße 1 and Verl. Rinkauerstraße 12) in 1897, the plot being empty till that time.[61] Two years later, the tenement housed a hardware store.[59] Today, the renovated building is a hotel, Hostel przy Świętojańskiej.
On the one hand, window symmetrical disposition, overall balanced facades, smooth stone walls are characteristics of Neo-Renaissance style, as weel as ornately carved stone window trim varying in design at each story and small, square windows on top floor. On the other hand, some elements of Neo-Baroque are popping up on the facade decoration: very complex ornamentation of pediments and wrought iron balconies, large flower motifs on the second floor, topped on each side by a long plain balustrade standing on the roof.

Half timbered barracks
These buildings are the remnants of military barracks where was billeted the "Prussian Infantry Regiment Nr.148" (Template:Lang-de),[63] from 1878 till the outbreak of World War I. The construction of the barracks was conducted by Albin Cohnfeld, a wealthy merchant of the city.[64]
After 1920, premises housed the Polish 61st Infantry Regiment (Template:Lang-pl).[65] After 1920, premises housed the Polish "61st Infantry Regiment" (Template:Lang-pl) till 1933.[66] In 1936,[67] the military fencing was razed and most of the barracks were transformed into a housing estate for the poor.[68]
The area is called "Londynek" (Small London) for houses' likeness to some 19th century London half timbered buildings.[69] Some edifices are today inhabited, others are being renovated as part of a local urban revitalization project.[70]
The buildings are all half timbered edifices, infilled by brick. Such military architecture can be also found in Gdańska Street 147, since Bromberg was an important garrison city under Prussian rule.
