  • Mennonites in Poland: an Expanded Historical View
    Mennonites in Poland: An Expanded Historical View JohnFriesen Canadian Mennonite Bible College In the sixteenth century, Danzig, West Prussia and Prussia were all part of the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania. Poland had gained control over this area in the fifteenth century. When Mennonites settled in this area, they thus settled in areas which were under Polish rule. This paper will suggest some of the implications of interpreting the Mennonite experience in the Vistula and Nogat River regions within the context of Poland. The study is thus a conscious attempt to broaden the traditional interpretation of this region which has tended to place its history largely within the context of Prussian and German histories. All histories interpret from some standpoint and perspective within history. It is quite understandable why earlier studies of this region placed Mennonite history within Prussian and German history. This study will analyze this earlier history of interpretation, and show that if the context is broadened to include the Commonwealth of Poland, new dimensions of Mennonite life are revealed which will allow for a fuller understanding of Mennonite life in the Vistula and Nogat River regions. The extremely harsh persecution of people in the Low Countries by Margaret of Parma and the Duke of Alva in the middle of the sixteenth century resulted in Dutch refugees fleeing to the Polish regions of Danzig, Royal Prussia and Prussia. They settled in areas belonging to the Polish Kingdom or Commonwealth. The term Commonwealth was frequently used since Poland was a country in which Poland and Lithuania were joined into a united political entity in1569.

  • Gdansk and Malbork Castle
    5. Gdansk and Malbork Castle. We arrived in Gdansk in time for a scheduled late lunch at the Hotel Monopol. And a fine lunch it was, a real change from the normal fried veal or pork. A good beet soup was followed by roast pork, sauer­ kraut with mushrooms , red cabbage and french fries. French fries must be a real staple of Poland; never a meal went by without them in generous quantities. And on our tables were the first pitchers of clear, plain water we had seen in Poland-no mineral wa­ ter, no gaseous bubbles. After lunch we were met by the City Conservator and a representative from the local PKZ studio. Be­ cause the hotel, a new plain-Jane contemporary, is but a five minute walk from the old city core, we followed them on a walking tour into and about the old town. In late afternoon we were led to the reconstructed Gothic Town Hall, which is now a museum and con­ ference headquarters. The President ( Mayor) of Gdansk greeted us and, through an interpreter, we were told about Gdansk, its restoration or, more cor­ rectly, its reconstruction, and its industries, of which shipping and ship building are uppermost. It is the "merchant, cultural and historical center of North Poland." Gdansk and its sister city of Gdynia, a short 20 kilometers along the coast, are the principal ports of Poland. Gdynia faces the Baltic Sea directly and 69 situated on a branch of the Vistula delta, five kilo­ 4% of the city budget is given to the City Conserva­ meters from the Baltic Sea, and it is the ancient port tor plus additional funds from industry and national of Poland.

  • Animal Bones from an Industrial Quarter at Malbork, Poland: Towards an Ecology of a Castle Built in Prussia by the Teutonic Order
    Animal Bones from an Industrial Quarter at Malbork, Poland: Towards an Ecology of a Castle Built in Prussia by the Teutonic Order Aleks Pluskowski (Department of Archaeology, University of Reading) Mark Maltby (School of Conservation Sciences, University of Bournemouth) and Krish Seetah (Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge) Introduction The castle at Malbork began to be constructed by the Teutonic Order as the fortified monastery of Marienburg from the 1270s; between 1309 and 1457 it was the headquarters of the Order in Prussia. During this time the castle expanded significantly and became sub-divided into three sectors, covering an area of around 20 hectares. Subsequent phases of Polish, Prussian and German occupation modified and restored various elements of the structure. From 1945 its restoration was supervised by Polish conservators and in 1997 it was added to the UNESCO list of world heritage sites. Today, the castle is preserved as the most important example of the Teutonic Order’s distinctive architecture in Eastern Europe, and remains a major focus of historical, archaeological, architectural and art-historical research, as well as a showcase for the evolution of modern approaches to conservation and restoration. The maintenance of a castle the size of Malbork – the largest fortified brick structure in the world – required significant and complex provisioning networks. Written sources from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries illustrate the sheer diversity of animal management and animal-related products which were processed for and within the castle.1 However, the long-term impact of the castle’s construction and expansion on the animal resources of its hinterland is also a question with a fundamental archaeological perspective.
