Zygmunt Krasiński Street or Krasińskiego Street is an avenue of Bydgoszcz, in downtown district (Polish: Śródmieście).
Contents
Location
Śniadecki Street is oriented east-west and provides a link between Gdańska Street, Bydgoszcz in the west and May 3rd street to the west. It is the continuation of Śniadecki street east of Gdańska Street. It crosses Gimnazjalna and Libelta streets and ends at Leszek the White Square .
Appellation
Through history, this street had the following names:[1]
- Until 1920, Frönerstraße;
- 1920-1939, Zygmunt Krasiński Street;
- 1939-1945, Frönerstraße;
- since 1945, Zygmunt Krasiński Street.
Current patron of the street is Zygmunt Krasiński (1812– 1859), a Polish nobleman traditionally associated with Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Slowacki as one of Poland's great Romantic poets who influenced national consciousness during the period of Poland's political bondage.
History
The street is not mentioned on maps before the second half of the 19th century. In 1876, a map by Paul Berthold Jaekel features a start of an west-east oriented axis in the vicinity of today's N°10, without interception of Gdańska street to the west.[2]
In 1900, Fröhnerstraße is displayed on a city map, starting at Danzigerstraße in the west and ending at Hempelstraße to the east, where land is not urbanized yet.[3] On this map, the only building mentioned is at N°10 (House for blind children - German: Blinden-Anstalt).
In 1908, a physical education hall (German: Gymn-Turnhalle) is referred to on a map at N°7.

Tenement at N°3

The first owner of the tenement at then Fröhnerstraße 13, was F. Sandmann, a merchant of upholstery who had his warehouse there,[5] until the beginning of WWI.
All the facade decoration has been lost with time. One can make out the bay window topped with a balcony, numerous arched windows and two shed dormers. It has been entirely rebuilt in the 1920s.[6]

Tenement at N°4
Registered on Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship heritage list, N°729691, Reg.A/1550/1-2, February 2, 2010[4]
1899-1900
The first owner of the tenement at then Fröhnerstraße 14, was Mr Weiß, a master mason.[7] In the 1980s, a stained glass shop (Polish: Witraze) was located at this place,[8] who stayed there till the outbreak of WWI.
This large house is close by its concept to those realized by Fritz Weidner, such as Cieszkowski Street N°13/15, Gdańska Street 79 or Śniadecki Street 29. Facades are marked by glass panes, several architectural details break the symmetry of the ensemble (bay windows, many different gables or bartizan). At some places, timber framing is visible. The entrance still possesses a delicate wrought iron fence with floral motifs.

Otto Bloch Tenement, at N°5
1900-1901[7]
Eclecticism in architecture & Neo-Baroque, elements of Neo-classicism
The first owner of the tenement at then Fröhnerstraße 12, was Otto Bloch, a pharmacist,[9] who lived there until the 1920s. Pediments above second floor windows bear caducei, as a reminder of Otto Bloch's activity.
The elevation features a large bay window and two grand Corinthian order columns balancing the other side of the facade. The frontage keeps many Neo-Baroque details: putti on corbels, balustrade on the first floor, delicate motifs on the main double door, numerous floral and vegetal motifs on pilasters, on window pediments and a row of corbels topping the ensemble.

Tenement at N°9, corner with Libelta street
1896, by Karl Bergner[11]
The first landlord at then Fröhnerstraße 10 was Anton Czarnecki, a rentier and merchant,[12] who moved there in 1898 and stayed till the early 1920s.
The designer of this tenement, Karl Bergner, realized many other buildings in the city, such as:
- Śniadecki Street N°6,10,12,20;
- Foch Street N°2,4;
- Dworcowa Street N°68;
- Bernardyńska Street N°3;
- Cieszkowski Street N°7,9,14,16-20,24.
The present one displays eclectic architectural details, a ground floor underlined by the arched entry gate flanked by pilasters, topped by a mask, the ensemble being overlooked by a bay window with bossages. The first floor is the most decorated, mainly with the effort put in the window framings. Each of them is ornamented with accuracy by pilasters, columns, balustrade on the bottom and pediments on the top. The variety of shapes, forms and motifs could even be labelled as Neo-Baroque influence. The upper level is crowned by a corbel table shaped in animal figures.

Tenements at N°13/15/17
1894[13]
These tenements at then Fröhnerstraße N° 6/7/8 were owned by the municipality. Around twenty tenants[13] were living in this Bromberg city apartments (German: wohnungsverein gehörig).
The U-shape of the building recalls classical architecture patterns, creating an open courtyard on the street. Renovated in 2012 with brio, one can underline the perfect symmetry of the ensemble, from the location of the doors (the main gate at N°15 is mirrored by a arched stone frame without door), to the pediment design above the windows, to the successive avant-corps and topping large triangular pediment emphasizing the axis of symmetry of the edifice..

The first landlord at Fröhnerstraße N°5 was Heinrich ßietsch, a tailor.[15] Among his tenants was a teacher for blind children, August Fleig,[16] working at the Specialized school on the other side of the street.
Recently refurbished, the facade displays perfect Neo-classic symmetry. Worth noticing are the two avant-corps arranged with loggias and the numerous shed dormers on the roof.

The first landlord at Fröhnerstraße N°4 was Robert Böhme, a gardener, who rented the place but did not live there.[18]
The building is one of the first to have been built in the street after the construction of the Specialized school for children in 1872. The facade, although less adorned, echoes the neighbouring one at N°19, with Neo-classic features such as the two avant-corps.

Tenement at N°23
2010, by Budlex
The plot at then Fröhnerstraße N°3 was first owned by Robert Böhme,[19] also landlord of tenement at N°21. At the end og WWI, the area has been left abandoned until a first theatre, Paw, was built. It opened on Sunday 8 November 1929[20] with a 800 seats capacity. It became cinema Appolo in 1931.[21] During WWII, Nazi authorities changed its name to Bidegast. The theatre was renamed Polonia in 1945: it welcomed movies till March 31, 2003.[22]
Since building destruction, the plot houses a brand new habitation complex, Rubinowy Dom (Ruby House), since 2010.
