Stogi (German:Heubude) is one of the administrative districts (dzielnica administracyjna) of the city ofGdańsk,Poland. The district is located on the central part of thePort Island (Wyspa Portowa).
Stogi is bounded to the north by theBay of Gdańsk and to the south by theMartwa Wisła. Administratively, it bordersKrakowiec-Górki Zachodnie to the east,Rudniki to the south, andPrzeróbka to the west. It is not divided into any quarters (osiedla).[1]
Stogi was initially a village, under the ownership of various entities and groups of people. It was modestly built-up and granted by Polish kingKazimierz Jagiellończyk to Gdańsk in 1454. It was primarily focused on agriculture and fishing. Its population grew significantly during the 19th century; as of 1820, only 561 people lived there, but by 1910, that amount had increased to 3,114. Despite occasional efforts ofreforestation, the forests of Stogi, known in German asHeubude, were repeatedly exploited or destroyed.[2]
In 1914, the village of Heubude became part of the larger nearby city of Danzig. As of 1927, about 5,000 people lived there. From 31 March to 6 April 1945, intense urban warfare took place in Heubude, destroying much of it.[3] It was rebuilt, with a large port being constructed, the Northern Port (Port Północny). For much of its history, Stogi has been known for its beaches; it has been a location for public sea bathing since 1884, and remains a local beach destination to this day.[4]
