Ph. Rothstein described Danzig in 1894 in his "Danzig and Neighbourhood Guide":
"Danzig, called "Venice of the North", capital of West Prussia, from centuries, for its trade connections, had very important position in merchants' world. From 1200 to 1310 Pomeranian capital, from 1310 to 1454 under the rule of Teutonic Knights, from 1360 hanzeatic city, from 1450 to 1793 under Polish supremacy, 1793 incorporated to Prussia. In 1807, after embittered fights, had to give up French, after signing the peace treaty, in 1814 returned to Prussia..." In years 1920 - 1939 Free City, after 1945 in Polish borders. "...Danzig is one of few cities, which still understanding the modern requirements, preserved its characteristic style of architecture. There are many kinds of historical monuments, built during all historical periods of the city..."
