Koronowo Koronowo (Polish pronunciation: ; , archaic ''Polnisch Krone'') is a town on the Brda River in Poland, located in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, 25 km from Bydgoszcz, with 11,029 inhabitants (2010). It is located in the historic region ...

. The development of the street is associated with the building of Bydgoszcz Main Railway Station in 1851, which led to assimilating the close settlement of Bocianowo () into the city precinct. On an 1861 map of the area, the vicinity of the railway station shows dispersed housings: it is only in the early 20th century that compact constructions make their appearance along the street. Some specific quarters near Gdanska street and close to the Main station have shown earlier activity, with the development of hotel buildings: * Hotel "Pod Orlem" (1893), Hotel Pawlikowski (1898) in Gdanska Street; * Hotel du Nord (1875), Heises's Hotel (1884), Schliep's Hotel (1889) near the Main Station. At the end of the 19th century, Dworcowa street had an industrial and commercial character. In its surroundings flourished trade houses, craft workshops and restaurants or bars. The industrial buildings and warehouses occupied the area between the street and the Brda river, while along the street were located flats and shops. The largest companies at then ''Bahnhofstraße'' were: Bdg Dworcowa pocz 9 07-2013

Between 1890 and 1914, many houses along the street have been transformed into 3 to 4 storey buildings, displaying ornated facades (e.g. building at Nr. 55, decorated with a head of Hermes), turning the venue into one of the most representative in the city. In the final section of the street near the Main Railway Station, there used to stand five hotels, furnished as

Its architectural landscape is quite diverse, with houses of different scale and style coexisting together. For the most part, street facades display architectural features fashionable in the years 1860–1914: *

Revitalisation

Dworcowa Street being one of the most important streets in downtown Bydgoszcz, it has been identified to be the target of a vast revitalisation plan. In 2009, in the Local Plan for the Revitalization of Bydgoszcz has been included the project ''Revitalisation of Dworcowa street''. Costs amount to 6.4 million PLN, supported by a 4.2 million PLN EU funding under the ''2007-2013 Regional Operational Programme'' for

. The project encompassed: * the modernization of Dworcowa street with a pedestrian pavement; * the addition of green areas; * the landscaping on the section between Gdanska Street and Matejki street. In addition, the section leading from Matejki street to Main Railway Station has seen the restoration of tram circulation and the refurbishment of a historic building by

in the immediate vicinity, converted to a Municipal Cultural Center.

Means of transportation

Since 2012,

lines Nr.5 and 8 run on the section from Matejki street to Sigismund Augustus street, using a special bridge built for the occasion. In addition, bus lines (54, 67, 75, 71, 79, 80, 83, 84, 31N, 33N) run on the section between the train station and Królowej Jadwigi street.
