Danzig
Danzig, one of the great Baltic ports situated at the mouth of the Vistula (Weichsel), and now, as Gda?sk, included in Poland. In the 14th c. and 15th c. it was in the hands of the Teutonic Order (see Deutscher Orden). In 1454 the relationship with the Order was terminated and Polish protection accepted. Danzig was then virtually a free city, possessing links with the Hanseatic League (see Hanse, Deutsche), and it continued to enjoy this status after the first partition of Poland (see Poland, Partitions of). In 1793, on the occasion of the second partition, it was incorporated in Prussia. During the Napoleonic domination (1807-14) it reverted to its independent position, but then again became Prussian. In 1920 it regained its status as Free City under the League of Nations. C. J. Burckhardt was its last high commissioner. Predominantly German in population, it was in 1939 a focus of National Socialist agitation, leading up to the 1939-45 War. Danzig is the principal scene of G. Grass's novels Die Blechtrommel and Hundejahre.
