The Biskupia Górka Association (Stowarzyszenie Biskupia Górka): The genesis and directions of activity in 2016–2021

Summary/Abstract: Biskupia Górka (Bishop’s Hill) is a part of Gdańsk located in the historic city centre. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the area was densely built up with tenement houses, which survived the battles of 1945 almost intact. During the communist era, most of the historic buildings slowly deteriorated, and the district itself gained a bad reputation, which lasted until the 1990s. At the turn of the twenty-first century, Biskupia Górka began to undergo changes for the better. They were initiated by the spontaneous activities of church communities and schools in the area, and later by the methodical work of the non-governmental organisations gradually emerging there. One of the most important continuators of this activity today is the Biskupia Górka Association, founded on 10 October 2016. Over the course of five years it has collected, among other things, several thousand different artefacts, photographs, documents and memories associated with the district, organised dozens of meetings, several exhibitions and searches for monuments in the Biskupia Górka area.
