Abstracts

The article presents a report on the relations between the three main religious groups of Gdańsk: Lutherans, Catholics and Calvinists in the period of the first three centuries after the proclamation of Martin Luther’s theses in Wittenberg (1517). The report includesthe periods of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (until 1793), Napoleonic epoch (1807-1814) and first years of the Prussian partition (until 1817). At that time the Lutherans were the dominant religious group in Gdańsk, but they failed to take the total control of the city. The Catholics lost their precedence soon after the Reformation, but they increased their number until the beginning of the 19th century and strengthened social and cultural influences at that time. The Calvinists were the biggest losers in that confrontation, because they didnot manage to dominate the city (at the turn of 16th and 17th centuries), lost believers and finally were subordinated to the Lutherans within the Evangelical Union (1817). The religions under discussion sometimes formed alliances, but it was not always the alliance between both groups of Protestants. Especially during the expansion of Calvinism in the city, the Lutherans looked for help from the Catholics and sometimes the latter provided them a real support.
