Maksymiliana Jackowskiego street is a 500 metres (1,600 ft) long path in the north-west area of Bydgoszcz, Poland. Located near the Brda river, its frontages display a variety of architectural styles, from eclectic to early modernist.

Location

Located in the Okole district, the street follows a roughly north to south track, parallel to Królowej Jadwigi Street. The path stems from Focha Street in the south, crosses Garbary and Śląska streets before ending at Łokietka street, less than 100 metres (110 yd) from the southern bank of the Brda river.

History

Canalswerder area on an 1857 map

Historically, the path is laid on the area called canalswerder (English: canal islet) in the 19th century, depicting the region locked between the Brda river bed on the north and the Bydgoszcz Canal on the south. Nowadays, the sector is even cut off in the north-west by a second section of the Bydgoszcz canal, built in the early 20th century.

Until the mid-1970s, Jackowskiego street was the main connection between the western part of the city and the railway station.[2]

In the 1970s, part of the Old Canal was filled in, allowing for the construction of the "Grunwaldzkie Roundabout": as a consequence, the southern tip of the street was changed to a dead end for car access from Focha street. Only pedestrians can pass through.

Jackowskiego street appeared on a first city address book in 1855,[1] with only five landlords registered.

The street bore only two names through time:[3]

  • 19th century - 1920 and during German occupation, Feldstraße;
  • 1920 - 1939 and since 1945, Ulica Maksymiliana Jackowskiego.

The current appellation refers to Maksymilian Jackowski (1815-1905), a Polish social and economic activist.

Main areas and edifices

Tenement at 1/3 Grunwaldzka Street, corner with Jackowskiego street

Built in 1910,[4] by Theodor Patzwald

Early modernism

The first owners of the tenement were the Goltz brothers (Gustaw, Rudolf and Oskar) who, as construction managers, conducted many projects in the city. In July 1912, a restaurant and a cafe -Parkhaus- were arranged, with an area as a summer garden: at that time, the place was giving onto the Bydgoszcz Canal,[5] which was covered only in the 1970s. The same year, the Goltz brothers sold the ensemble to C.A. Franke, a successful local entrepreneur. In that period, the building housed the office of the then Royal School of Arts and Crafts, as well as the house designer, architect Theodor Patzwald.

Later on, during the interwar, the landlord was August Latte, owner of a cheese warehouse and a factory.[6] During the recent renovation of the ensemble in 2015, a mural was created on the wall deprived of opening: it displays advertising with old-fashioned features from the 1920s.[7]

The early modernist style still keeps influence from Art Nouveau: curved bow windows, a broken segmental pediment, a vegetal motif and two grand loggias adorned with slender columns and wrought iron grillwork.

Tenement at 1

Early 20th century[4]

Late Art Nouveau

The commissioner of the building was Hermann Templin, a butcher living at 5 "KornMarkt"[8] (present day "Zbożowy Rynek").

Plots at 4/6

Today unbuilt, the area used to host:

  • till 1920, a brewery run by Albert Hirchbruch, Brauerei und Etablissement dem Kauffmann Hirchbruch. During the German period, it was registered at 37-38-39 Feldstraße;[10]

Eclecticism, Industrial architecture

Ernst Berndt, first owner of the tenement at 26,[17] had been running a dairy and bakery factory (German: molkerei und dampfbäckerei) in the backyard buildings (today's at 28). The firm named "Schweizerhof" (English: Swiss Manor) had started operating in 1912 and had six selling points in Bromberg. The product panel was diverse, from butter milk, whipped cream and cheese to bread, rolls or croissants.[21] "Schweizerhof" closed in 1920.

The edifice at 30, built shortly after the Second World War, had been used by a dairy cooperative for several decades. Currently no more operating, the complex at 28 and 30 has been purchased by a private investor to be converted into a residential estate.[21]

The buildings at 26 an 28 have been renovated in 2022.[12]

Tenement at 27

1910[4]

Art Nouveau

The edifice had for first owner Mr Goltz, a building contractor.[13]

The tenement, albeit damaged, still presents noticeable features: a nice Art Nouveau entrance door topped by an oeil-de-boeuf, two balconies with original wrought iron railings, round top windows and fragments of decoration on window sills and lintels.

Houses at 32/36 Jackowskiego street

End of the 19th century

These buildings, then at 4 to 6 Feldstraße, have all been originally owned by Martin Buchholz,[22] a relative of Ludwig Buchholz, who ran a successful tannery in present day Garbary street.
