History

Until the beginning of the 19th century, the Brenkenhoff farm or "folwark" was settled in the place of the present district. In 1851, the area was incorporated into the territory of then Bromberg city.[2]

In 1867, the construction of the railway to Toruń required the purchase of part of the Brenkenhoff/Bocianowo estate; the line is no more existent today. At that time were laid out Bocianowo street (then "Brenkenhoff straße"), as well as Sienkiewicza street ("Mittel straße"), Rycerska street ("Wörth straße") and Racławicka street ("Ritter straße"). They were mainly the abode of railway workers.[1]

The path of Bocianowo street can be traced back to a 1876 city map, where the axis is underlined in the northern area of "Brenkenhoff".

Main areas and edifices

Tenement at 1, corner with 71 Pomorska Street

1894–1895[3]

Eclecticism

Initial address was Verlängerte Rinkauerstraße 7 or Verlängerte Brenkenhoff Straße 7 and it was first owned by Franziska Kowalkowska, a widow. David Kukuk ran the distillery on the ground floor in the 1910s. The Kowalkowski family lived in the tenement till the turn of the 20th century.[4]

The elevations have been restored in 2021.[5] One can make out cartouches, the tympanum above the gate and the pediments of the first floor bearing the initial "K", recalling the first landlord, "Kowalkowski".

Tadeusz Kościuszko Square

In the beginning of the 19th century, a cemetery was located on this plot. Historically, this comes from a city's privilege until 1811 to bury the dead in random squares and squares.[2]

The square, delimited by Bocianowo and Pomorska streets, bears since 1973, the sculpture Wings of the Sea (Шаблон:Lang-pl), by Anna Szalast. The monument celebrates the industrial heritage of Bydgoszcz. It echoes in particular the nearby presence of the factory "FAMOR" at Kaszubska street.[6]

Initially at 48 Brenkenhofs Straße, the building's landlord was Mr and Mrs Kolbe, working as restaurateurs.[11]

Tenement at 16

1909-1910[3]

Art Nouveau

The side wall of the building has been embellished since 2012 by a mural called "Miś" (Шаблон:Lang-en). It was designed by Bartosz Bujanowski from Bydgoszcz and Łuksza Berżer from Wrocław as the result of street art classes attended by local children and adolescents.[20]

Art Nouveau

Carl Hofmann, a restaurateur, was the first landlord of these buildings. At that time (1905) he also owned abutting tenement at Nr.28 where he lived.[21]

The main frontage of Nr.30 is arguably one of the best preserved in the street. Art Nouveau motifs are not only present all over the curved wooden front door, but also on the balcony, the bay windows, around the windows and on the top of the facade.

The tenement at Nr.32 is most noticeable by its dramatic corner bay window similar to a bartizan, crowned by an onion dome roof, reminding of similar buildings in Bydgoszcz (e.g. at 8 and 27 Swiętej Trojcy Street or at 1 Plac Wolności). It was restored in 2021.[5]

Ferdinand Radtke commissionned this building in the early 1890s to architect Anton Hoffmann.

The edifice has been deeply restored in 2021.[5] One can now appreciate the balanced facade from the eclectic period (end of 19th century) mixed with plastered Art Nouveau motifs adorning the elevation gable.

These three tenements at then "13a/13b/13c Brenkenhoff Straße" had been commissionned by the city authorities. In the 1910s, around thirty tenants were living in these city apartments (Шаблон:Lang-ger).[16]

The U-shape of the building recalls classical architecture patterns, creating an inside courtyard off the street. The renovation performed in the 2010s especially emphasizes the decoration of the portal at Nr.43, with lesenes and vegetal stuccowork.

Tenement at 44, corner with 28 Sowińskiego Street

1875–1900[3]

Eclecticism

Initial address was "16 Brenkenhoff Straße". Its first registered owner at the beginning of the 20th century was Mr Krüger, who was not living there.[19]

The elevations present a neoclassical style (bossage, pediment and corbel table), the frontage on Sowińskiego street being much longer than the one on Bocianowo street.

Tenements at 49 and 51

1908-1909[29] (49) 1902[27] (45)

Eclecticism, Art Nouveau

The tenement at Nr.49 (then "15 Brenkenhoff Straße") had Jacob Schott as landlord. Owner of the nearby building at 40, he was running a colonial goods shop (Шаблон:Lang-ger).[29] Nr.51 (then "15a Brenkenhoff Straße"), at the intersection with Sowińskiego street, was first owned by Albin Cohnfeld, a rentier, living at "32 Banhoff straße" (today 77 Dworcowa Street).[15] The following landlord was Konrad Zielsdorf, who had there a restaurant which he operated till the mid-1930s.[30] From 1920 to the start of WWII, two hairdress businesses stood at street level, run by Jan Fritzkowski (Nr.49) and Stanisław Nowakowski (Nr.51).

The facade of Nr.49 keeps only one Art Nouveau element: the floral-motif stucco on the door lintel, bearing the year of erection of the house. The tenement at Nr.51 has only preserved two wrought iron balconies on the corner frontage.
