long walk through the Old Lower Town and suburbs of Alexander Masłowskim, known in the city (and beyond), an expert in Gdansk. That's what the on one of his websites ( www.rzygacz.webd.pl ) was also applied during the walk - acquiring and understanding of history through personal history, the history of "ordinary" people and places.
Great story known to everyone. Only know a small few. Even if it is seasoned with anecdotes, legends, fairy tales, myths - all this belongs to what we call history, we define as a human. History is not anything else.
completely different relationship (any relation) takes the Bastion and St Bison. Gertrude, when you hear the story about the fact that between them, on the edge of the moat, lies buried, a German soldier who was shot here. And the rustling reeds in the ears - natural, like a whisper. History has become so immediate, overwhelming.
Walking unevenly across the tracks leading to the old freight station, went on to Stone Lock. From there we went to the ruins of the house, at which the three blocks are stacked, somehow, to this Not once so far they have not noticed.
When we approached nearer, I recognized a monument to those who died during the First World War - with subtitles made carefully polished Fraktur. Alexander explained to me that this memorial was transferred here from one of the surrounding countryside, presumably to destroy it. A few meters behind the statue lay jaw, probably a dog.
