Krakowiec-Górki Zachodnie (German: Krakau and Westlich Neufähr; Kashubian: Krakówc ë Zôpadné Górczi) is one of the administrative districts (dzielnica administracyjna) of the city of Gdańsk.

Location[]

The north of the quarter is bordered by the Bay of Gdańsk. From the east, it is bordered by the district of Wyspa Sobieszewska (Sobieszewo Island), from the south by Rudniki and from the west by Stogi on Port Island (Wyspa Portowa).

From the east it is bordered by the Śmiała Wisła (Daring Vistula) and from the south by the Dead Vistula (two distributary river branches of the Vistula).

History[]

The eastern border was created in 1840 during the flooding and creation of a new mouth of Vistula. The Dead Vistula was closed by a lock and became a dead branch.

The area became a part of Danzig in 1914. Krakau had a population of 536 (1910) and Westlich Neufähr of 727 (1905).

The shipyard Stocznia Wisła was established in 1945. A second shipyard is Stocznia jachtowa . The national center for sailing Narodowe Centrum Żeglarstwa Akademii Wychowania Fizycznego i Sportu (AWFiS) was established in 2006.
