Danziger Höhe

The area Danziger Höhe covered is now within Poland.

The district was formed from parts of the previous Danzig Rural District [de] within the Danzig Region in the province of West Prussia, within the Kingdom of Prussia, itself a part of Germany since 1871.

The district was enlarged by a number of municipalities from neighbouring West Prussian districts of Neustadt, Karthaus, Berent and Dirschau, which otherwise became part of the Second Polish Republic as part of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Some municipalities in the Danziger Höhe district were also ceded to Poland.

The district had a majority German population, with minorities of Kashubians and Poles.
