Cultural Identity of Citizens of Gdańsk from an Ethnolinguistic Perspective on the Basis of Chosen Texts of the Free City of DanzigAs a consequence of the First World War and in the wake of the Treaty of Versailles the Free City of Danzig was established. The image of Danzig identity was created, first of all, by the following ethnic groups: German, Polish and Jewish. Was the Free City of Danzig multicultural or was it German with Polish and Jewish minorities? Did those nationalities live beside each other, did they together, as citizens of Danzig, create a common reality? Is it possible to talk about a uniform culture/identity of Danzig? The aim of this article is an analysis of linguistic image of the world of the citizens of the Free City of Danzig, which has been carried out on the basis of characteristics of the image of relations and cultural differences in the interpretation of Polish community. Yet, the whole image of identity consists of a mosaic of smaller interpretations which, only after being reduced to the lowest common denominator, may give the holistic image of Danzig identity as an image of a common multiple subjectivity. Mutual perception of nationalities inhabiting the area of the Free City of Danzig is the starting point for the discussion on their identity and an attempt to answer the question: did the citizens of Danzig see themselves as one community – exactly the one of Danzig? The analysed research material consists of chosen texts of the local press (in Polish and occasionally in German) concerning socio-cultural and political and informative issues. The Polish "Gazeta Gdańska" had been published since 1891 as the first Polish Danzig newspaper in Polish. Its first aim was to integrate Polish circles and to defend the rights of the Polish. "Danziger Neuesten Nachrichten", published since 1894, was the biggest Danzig conservative newspaper in German which influenced public opinion. In the analysis of the linguistic image of Danzig identities I will consider first of all the following scientific issues after Bartmiński: a) the way of defining common identity i.e. “who we are” – autostereotypes; b) the ways of linguistic perception and definition of the others i.e. “who they are” – heterostereotypes; c) the ways of conceptualization of space and ‘our place in the world’ and the common time in which we live. Tożsamości kulturowa gdańszczan w ujęciu etnolingwistycznym na przykładzie wybranych tekstów publicystycznych Wolnego Miasta Gdańska W konsekwencji I wojny światowej oraz na mocy postanowień Traktatu Wersalskiego utworzono Wolne Miasto Gdańsk (WMG). Na obraz tożsamości gdańskiej w okresie WMG składały się przede wszystkim następujące grupy etniczne: niemiecka, polska i żydowska. Czy Wolne Miasto Gdańsk było wielokulturowe, czy też niemieckie z mniejszościami polską i żydowską? Czy narodowości żyły obok siebie, czy wspólnie jako gdańszczanie kreowały swoją wspólną rzeczywistość? Czy w odniesieniu do WMG można mówić o jednolitej kulturze/tożsamości gdańskiej? Celem artykułu jest analiza językowego obrazu świata tożsamości gdańszczan w okresie Wolnego Miasta Gdańska, dokonana na podstawie charakterystyki obrazu związków i różnic kulturowych w interpretacji społeczności polskiej. Całkowity obraz tożsamości składa się bowiem z mozaiki mniejszych interpretacji, które dopiero sprowadzone do wspólnego mianownika mogą ułożyć się w całość jednej tożsamości gdańskiej, niejako na zasadzie obrazu wielopodmiotowości zbiorowej. Wzajemne postrzeganie się narodowości zamieszkujących obszar WMG jest punktem wyjścia do rozważań na temat ich tożsamości oraz próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: czy gdańszczanie widzieli siebie, jako jedną społeczność - gdańską właśnie? Analizowany materiał badawczy to wybrane teksty publicystyki gdańskiej o charakterze kulturalno- społecznym oraz informacyjno-politycznym przede wszystkim w języku polskim oraz sporadycznie w języku niemieckim. Polska "Gazeta Gdańska", wydawana była od roku 1891 jako pierwsze pismo gdańskie w języku polskim. Pierwotnym jej celem była integracja kół polonijnych oraz obrona praw polskich. "Danziger Neueste Nachrichten", wydawane od 1894, było największym gdańskim opiniotwórczym dziennikiem w języku niemieckim o charakterze konserwatywnym. W analizie językowego obrazu tożsamości gdańskich z perspektywy społeczności polskiej autorka rozważa za Bartmińskim przede wszystkim następujące problemy badawcze: a) sposób określania tożsamości zbiorowej, tj. ‘kim jesteśmy my’ – autostereotypy; b) sposób postrzegania i językowego ujmowania innych, tj. ‘kim są oni’ – heterostereotypy oraz c) sposoby konceptualizacji przestrzeni i ‘naszego miejsca w świecie’ oraz czasu wspólnotowego, w którym żyjemy.

After the First World War victorious countries adopted a rule granting free navigation on all rivers classified as international. This rule applied to such German rivers as the Danube, Elbe, Oder and Neman for which there appointed international river commissions. Poland became a member of International Commission for the Oder as a riverside state. The only commission which finally was not created was the one appointed for the Neman. During the peace conference in Paris there was considered a Czechoslovakian proposal for the internalization of the Vistula. Poland rejected the motion as Poles considered the Vistula a national river. Yet the Little Treaty of Versailles obliged Poland to apply to the Vistula the same regulations as the Treaty of Versailles assumed for German rivers. Furthermore, Poland lost direct control over the Lower Vistula flowing through Gdańsk, which from now on was to be controlled by the Council of the Port and Waterways of the Free City of Danzig. Fear of the internationalisation of the Vistula and of German economic expansion made Poland reject the rule of free navigation on international rivers. Poland did not subject its sections of the Warta and Noteć to the International Commission for the Oder and by doing so it contributed considerably to the dissolution of the Commission. What is more, Poland did not ratify the Barcelona Convention

The aim of the article was to examine the diplomatic activity of the Polish diplomat Kazimierz Papée (1889-1979) in the Free City of Danzig in the years 1933-1934. The author focused on Papée’s relations with Hermann Rauschning, the President of the Free City of Danzig Senate, taking into account the accompanying circumstances. The historical sources utilised and analysed in this study are, in large part, unknown reports prepared by Papée, which he sent to Warsaw. Papée was the General Commissioner of the Republic of Poland in the Free City of Danzig from 1932 to 1936. He sought to preserve the Polish rights in Danzig. His term in office coincided also with the presidency of Rauschning, who was the first politician associated with the Nazi Party at the post of President of the Danzig Senate. Both Papée and Rauschning fulfilled their duties in circumstances of subordination of the Polish-Danzig relations to relations between Warsaw and Berlin. Each of them had his own vision of how relations between Poland and the Free City should be shaped. Rauschning was remembered as a politician who sought to reach a settlement with Poland. That being so, the question arises how Papée managed to cope, given the then current conditions, and what particular courses of action were taken by him in contacts with the President of the Danzig Senate. Another issue related to the research is an assessment of the consequences of these contacts. Such an appraisal had to be made in the light of the paramount principle of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs which was the maintenance of good Polish-German relations.

Its aim and objective was representing the interests of the medical pro-fession and specialist training. The medical section of The Danzig Research Society (Danziger Naturfor-schende Gesellschaft) established in 1743, was transformed into Doctors’ Society (Arztlicher Verein zu Danzig) on November 29, 1876. On May 25, 1887 Chambers of Physicians and Dentists were created in all subdivisions of the Kingdom of Prussia. Abraham Lissauer (1832–1908), a German physician and anthropologist be-came the first president of the Chamber of Physicians and Dentists of West Prussia located in Danzig.
