A journey through the history of Forest Plots. Lectures by Michał Miegonia

The Forest Land Library invites you to a series of lectures by Michał Miegonia devoted to the history of the Forest Lands district.

15.09.2026 Witomiński Cemetery — history and memory Witomińska Cemetery hides numerous memorial sites of the oldest families that built the city. It is also the resting place of many people who have developed Gdynia over the years, adding to its uniqueness in a social, economic or purely human context. During the lecture, we will learn about the biographies and history of exceptional people, especially those somewhat forgotten today, and very important in the context of the century of our city. Event financed by the funds of the District Council of Forest Plots

6.10 Dworzec Gdyński and surroundings — history and architecture There are no Forest Plots without a station, and a station without Forest Plots. Although the issue of railways is related to the Downtown of our city, the location of the station is undoubtedly the gateway to our district. Changes in this area and the border of the districts of Dziłki Leśne, Grabówek and Śródmieście will be discussed during the historical lecture. Event financed by the funds of the District Council of Forest Plots

20.10 Forest plots in archival photographs — places and landscapes Thanks to the photographs, Forest Plots have been preserved as they have disappeared from the contemporary landscape. Photographers such as Henryk Poddębski, associated with the Roman Morawski district, as well as contemporary observers of the district and its inhabitants (including the speaker) documented the development of the district, thanks to which during the lecture we can learn about the fascinating metamorphosis of Forest Plots over the decades. We invite you to a lecture with words and photography. Event financed by the funds of the District Council of Forest Plots
