[4] However, other archaeological research performed in 2005 at Podwale 15 showed there was no rampart at this point,[3] but rather a castle moat, which was not stabilized due to the rhythm of flooding of the river.

The moat was gradually inundated in the 14th century: with such a large, natural wide trench there was no need to build additional defenses.

In 1787, at the crossing with Magdzińskiego street, was built the former evangelical parish church, and in 1809 the first buildings in the southern part of Podwale (present Nr.11 to 15) have been erected.

1878,[7] by Albert Rose Eclecticism, industrial architecture The building bore initially the Nr.10 at Wallstraße, its first referenced owner being Ignacy Walarecy, a baker residing at Friedrich Straße 4 (now Długa street 74).

Registered on the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Heritage list Nr.601393, Reg.A/971 (April 11, 1971)[6] 1904[7] Neo-Gothic The eastern side of the present Market Hall stands on what was until the 18th century the moat of the castle of Bydgoszcz, parting the Old Town and the fortified edifice of the Starostwo.

In 1899, an intensive work has been carried out to clean the site of the former castle hill, lying on the east side of Podwale street, demolishing the evangelical church.

A few years later, in 1904, the Municipal Market Hall (German: Städtische Markthalle) has been erected and extended eastward, on Magdzińskiego street.

The construction started in autumn 1904 and ended in the spring 1906: the official opening took place on Friday 20 July 1906, in the presence of municipal authorities.

[10] While inside the Hall only meat (including fish and sea products) was sold, other goods could be bought at the weekly fairs held in the open squares.

[10] Today the complex is open to all kind of trade, under the ownership of Bydgoszcz's grocers (Polish: "Bydgoska Spółdzielnia Spożywców w Bydgoszczy").

[6] 1782, 1879[7] Eclecticism Before the current building, the place hosted the first distillery factory of Carl August Franke, which also had additional plots at Kręta 3.

Carl's son, Hermann, developed the activity by building in 1893 a huge complex on Mill Island, Polish: Wyspa Młynska.

Initial location was Wallstraße 18, owned by a baker, Hermann Brund, living in Hofstraße 2[15] (now Jana Kaziemirza street).

The building at Kirchen Straße 5 had as first registered landlord Johann Franz Semerau, a merchant in copper business,[18] whereas the one at Wallstraße 2 was owned by J.G.

With the rebirth of Polish state, the firm was renamed Towarzystwo Akcyjne Bydgoska Fabryka Mydeł (English: Bydgoszcz Soap Joint Stock Company) and remained operational till the end of WWII.

[6] 1878-1879[7] Eclecticism This tenement, initially at Wallstraße 19, has been first possessed by Martin Rasp, a painter,[22] then in the 1890s a baker, Ignac Gröger, moved in.
