Warszawska street is a street of the city of Bydgoszcz, Poland. Its buildings display a mix of eclectic architectural facades and underline the important urban industrialisation in the history of the city.

The development of the railway connection with Berlin, achieved in 1851, boosted the north-western districts of the city in the vicinity of the train station: hence, the creation and growth of streets such as Warszawska or Dworcowa.

Warszawska street first appeared (as Karl-strasse) on a 1876 map of Bromberg. On the address book of 1878, only 7 house plots are listed.

Thanks to the thriving activity of the railway, the street was entirely laid down by the end of the 19 century and its organisation did not vary much till today.

The street bore only two names names through its existence:

• 1876 - 1920, Karlstraße (or Ulica Karolowa);
• From 1920, Ulica Warszawska, in reference to the Polish capital Warszawa (Warsaw).

1874

Eclecticism

Original address was Elisabethstraße 38: its first registered holder was Hermann Zindler, a member of the Government chancellery.

The wings of this corner tenement house draw attention towards the double architectural legacy of the Prussian partition and the period of the Polish People's Republic (PRL). The edifice has been refurbished in the last quarter of 2018.

Eclecticism

The building was owned by Theodor Wronski or Wroinski, a furrier living at 5 Hoffstrasse (present day Jana Kazimierska street near the Old Market square). He was also the landlord of the abutting tenement at 4, non existent today.

The corner building, in need of restoration, has lost all of its architectural decoration.

Eclecticism

The building, then at 23 Carl straße, was owned by Karl Knuth, a painter. He lived there till the turn of the 20 century. In the 1910s, Martin Huhnholz, a tailor, run a business there: the shopping area is still visible today.

No architectural details survived the passage of time, while the eclectic features of the facade are apparent on old pictures.

1880

Eclecticism

Although the house had been commissioned in 1880 by Theodor Wronski, also owner of the building at 2 Warszawska street, it was sold one year later to Carl Spiegel, a butcher. The latter opened there a sausage factory during few years. The Spiegel family kept the house till the outbreak of WWII.

This traditional urban house is now less and less ubiquitous in downtown Bydgoszcz. One can see other instances of such building at 37 Gdańska Street or at 3 and 7 3 Maja Street.

Industrial architecture

The parcel was purchased in 1907 by Gustav Granobs, living atrasse (Józefa Sowińskiego street). Granobs had a large factory built there to accommodate his booming firm Gustav Granobs - Fabryka Filników i Narzędzi created in 1910. The company will eventually grow into today's firm Befana.
