Abstract

Abegg’s Colony in Gdansk is the greatest achievement of the foundation established in 1870 by Georg Friedrich Abegg. The Colony was built in 1897–1906 as an estate of semi-detached houses located in suburbs of Gdansk. Those houses are still inhabited today. At the time of its construction, houses of Abbeg’s Colony were relatively modern; nowadays they are rather neglected and forgotten. The question arises whether this area can be revitalised. This paper is an attempt to answer this question, focusing on two aspects: the spatial (the local master– and colour plans) and social one (the perception of the colony, elements of collective memory, the transformation of space and local community)

Keywords:

Gdansk, Abegg’s Colony, local masterplan, space aesthetics, collective memory, perception of space
