Chocimska Street is a historical street of downtown Bydgoszcz, Poland. Шаблон:TOC limit
Location
The street is located in the district of Bocianowo, in the north of the city center. Running on a southeast–northwest axis, it mirrors Jana Karola Chodkiewicza street on the western side of Gdańska Street. On its path, it crosses Kościuszki street before ending to the west on Pomorska street.
History
In the 19th century, the area to the north of the city of Bromberg was devoted to farming. One of them, a folwark, was called Bocianowo. It gave its name to the district where is located Chocimska Street.
The first reference of the path goes back to 1880: this year, the address book of Bromberg mentions the street under the naming Sedan Straße. At that time, only ten plots had been built.[1] Most of the constructions happened in two decades, from 1890 to 1910.[2][3]
Until the outset of WWII, Chocimska street was ending to the west at the barracks. The latter had been built in the 1870s, then used by the Prussian "14th (3rd Pomeranian) Infantry Regiment "Count Schwerin" " infantry and later billeted the Polish "61st Infantry Regiment" till the 1930s.[4]
During the occupation, Chocimska street (then anew "Sedan straße") was extended through the ancient barracks (see "Londynek" below) to reach Pomorska street (renamed at the time "Robert Ley straße").[5]
Apart from the isolated renovations that are occurring regularly, a project of tram line is being studied, connecting the main train station to the main axis, Gdańska street, through Chocimska street. Consultations have been launched among the population by the city authorities at the end of 2021.[6]
Naming
During its existence, the street bore the following names:[7]
- From 1880 till 1920, Sedanstraße, in reference to the Battle of Sedan won by the Prussian forces during the Franco-Prussian War in September 1870;
- 1920–1939, Ulica Chocimska;
- 1939–1945, Sedanstraße;
- Since 1945, Ulica Chocimska.
The current naming refers to the city of Khotyn (Шаблон:Lang-pl), today in Ukraine.
Khotyn/Chocim has been under Lithuanian-Polish domination from 1432 to 1699 (discontinuously). The place has been the site of two important battles against the Ottoman Empire in 1621 and 1673.

Half timbered barracks
These buildings are the remnants of military barracks where was billeted the "Prussian Infantry Regiment Nr.148" (Шаблон:Lang-de),[26] from 1878 till the outbreak of World War I. The construction of the barracks was conducted by Albin Cohnfeld, a wealthy merchant of the city.[27]
After 1920, premises housed the Polish "61st Infantry Regiment" (Шаблон:Lang-pl) till 1933.[28] In 1936,[27] the military fencing was razed and most of the barracks were transformed into a housing estate for the poor.[23]
The area is dubbed "Londynek" (Small London) for houses' likeness to some 19th century London half timbered buildings.[29] Some edifices are today inhabited, others are being renovated as part of a local urban revitalization project.[30]
The building are all half timbered edifices, infilled by brick. Such military architecture can be also found in Gdańska Street 147, since Bydgoszcz was an important garrison city under Prussian rule.
