Limitations on Danzig’s spatial growth within its system of Gothic and early-modern-era fortifications became noticeable during the 1860s when dynamic development got under way in earnest, leading to the initiatives taken by its new Oberbürgermeister, Leopold von Winter. The first attempt to attain permission from Berlin to purchase the defences from military authorities was made in 1865, but neither this nor a series of similar attempts proved successful. It was not until in 1888, and thus after the so-called Brisanzkrise, that the decision was finally taken by the head of armed services to have the early-modern fortifications of Danzig demilitarised. Oncoming planning for the areas occupied by the fortifications was agreed upon in connection with the new main railway line’s course and siting of a new station. The municipal of 1892 plan put into effect was genuinely metropolitan in the way it envisioned the laying out of extensive parkland, a new railway station and wide, circumscribing avenue, or Ring.
