STAW WRÓBLA – BACKGROUND AND BACKDROP
Staw Wróbla is a water reservoir in Gdańsk, built in the second half of the 20th century. It lies within the Piecki-Migowo district, and just north of the district of Jasień. Geographically, the reservoir belongs to the Kashubian Lake District.
Formerly, Staw Wróbla was called Kiwitz(er) Bruch. The reservoir also appears in some sources as “Patrycja Lake” or “Poligon Lake”. The name “Poligon Lake” is associated with the garrison training ground which functioned in the 20th century for units stationed in the barracks at J. Słowackiego Street.
