Location edit

Śniadecki Street is oriented east–west and provides a link between Gdańska Street, Bydgoszcz in the east and Dworcowa Street in Bydgoszcz to the west. It crosses an important city plaza, Piastowski Square (Polish: Plac Piastowski).

The presence of the Brda hotel practically closes the western tip of Śniadeckich Street to traffic with a final very narrow section.

Naming edit

Through history, this street had the following names:[1]

Current patrons of the street are brothers Śniadecki: Jan Śniadecki, an astronomer, and Jędrzej Śniadecki, a doctor, biologist and chemist. They were born in Żnin and both taught as professors at Stefan Batory University of Vilnius in the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century.

History edit

 
The street in 1905

The street was defined in the mid-19th century. As a consequence of the set up in 1851, of the railway station (Polish: Bydgoszcz Główna) in the north-west of Bydgoszcz, an intensive urban development happened in order to connect this area with the historical heart of the city, Gdańska Street. It is the same process that led to the development of nearby Dworcowa Street. At that time, the street was named Elisabethstraße, along with Elisabethmarkt (now Piastkowski Plac) the plaza it crossed to the north, in honor of Elisabeth Ludovika of Bavaria, wife of the reigning the King of Prussia Frederick William IV of Prussia.

On this axis have been erected also religious edifices, such as in 1910-1913 the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Elisabethmarkt, or the Church of the Resurrection in Elisabethstraße.

The importance of this avenue slowly decreased with the growing role that took Dworcowa Street, parallel to the south, but broader and larger, which had been used since 1888 by a newly built streetcar.

Main places and buildings edit

The designer of the building is not known. In 1892 the church was expanded with side chapels. Until 1945 it served the Catholic Apostolic Church (Irvingianer) German-speaking religious community. In 1946 the municipal authorities allocated the temple to the Old Catholic Church in Poland (Polish: Kościół Polskokatolicki w Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej), parish in Bydgoszcz which existed since 1925, but had no official location. In the 1950s, a modernization work has been carried out, especially to the external facade of the church, between 1978 and 1979 a renovation of interiors happened. In 1982, a new rectory has been built beside the church.[38]

The church is oriented to the north, presenting its main elevation to Śniadeckich street. Next to typical Gothic forms[39] are also Italian architectural features: rosette windows, friezes running under cornices and a gable facade. The external decoration is balanced and unsophisticated. Interiors comprise a matroneum and a wooden ceiling. Medieval style of the temple boasts buttresses, pointed windows, an entrance portal, pinnacles and cross-ribbed vaults chancel. Noteworthy are the Tudor-type arches of the nave.[40]

The tenement stands out of the local urban environment with its lean and high features. Due to its late inception (1910s), the building has been erected according to late Art Nouveau canons, thus it catches the eye among late 19th century edifices. The house architecture is underlined on the one hand by long vertical lines without any ornament (art), broken up on the first floor by horizontal bossages, and on the other hand by two massive bay windows and a modest bartizan. Building's elevation has been refurbished in 2015–2016.[49]
