The first garden city was located in England (Letchworth-1903), with examples of such planning soon following suit in Poland: Ząbki near Warsaw (1912), Podkowa Leśna (1925) or Gdynia (1925).

[4] Stübben (1845–1936) was a German architect, graduated from the Berlin Building Academy, who worked at the Technical Council of the Prussian Ministry of Finance (1904–1920) and had chaired the Poznań expansion commission.

[2] His sketch, delivered in December 1912, became the blueprint for the project drawn up by Heinrich Metzger, the Bromberg city construction adviser, seconded by engineer Bernhard Hirsch.

Following the garden city principles, the scheme planned constructing a green square at its centre and at each corner of the triangular area.

Metzger and Hirsch worked on the parceling of the land, establishing the size of each of the plots, the regular width of the front gardens, prohibiting the building of any workshops in the backrooms of the villas and dramatically limiting commercial and manufacturing activities within properties.

Once the building phase started, the first specific names appear to designate the places:[5] In 1914, the city office began to allocate plots to owners by the means of private selling.

The resuming of construction in this part of the district is inextricably linked with the April 29th 1925 Act on the expansion of cities, which imposed an obligation on municipalities to improve the housing situation and created preferential finacncial conditions for the development of villa-type accommodations.

Some of these limitations include: Such constraints allowed buildings to maintain their character, even though the City Development Committee was inclined, when possible, to promote the construction of multi-apartment villas.

[3] Named after Ryszard Markwart (1868–1906), a Polish priest, who was a nationalist activist and head of the Bromberg parish from 1899 till his death, the street delineates the southern border of Sielanka estate, with most of its northern side features villas dating back to this project.

[9] 1939, by Bogdan Raczkowski[3] Modernism One of the last houses built as part of the Sielanka estate project before the start of World War II.

[10] The villa is decorated with a glazed, rounded bay window, terraces and balconies resembling ship captain's bridges (see e.g.: bent metal balustrades).

1927–1928,[7] by Bronisław Jankowski[3] Polish National Style The oldest house in Asnyka street, originally commissioned by Brigadier General Aleksander Ehrbar,[11] who commanded the 16th Uhlan regiment.

[10] 1914–1915,[7] by Gustaw Burschat[3] Late Art Nouveau and Polish National Style Leopold Siedlecki is the first registered owner in the early 1920s, although the house is part of the batch of the first realizations during the Prussian period.

1914,[7] by Rudolf Kern[3] Late Art Nouveau and Polish National Style Kurtz Seydler ran a wallpaper business downtown, at Dantziger Straße 158 (today's 24 Gdańska Street).

1914–1917,[7] by Theodor Patzwald[3] Polish National Style Completed just before the start of the First World War, Paweł Schönerstädt (or Schoenerstaedt), a factory manager, was its first owner.

[14] Here, the portal is brought up to a higher level of decoration resembling the Neo-baroque style, including a large triangular pediment supported by four marble Corinthian order columns.

[8] Today, the house harbors the seat of the Chamber of Commerce "Wodociągi Polskie" (English: Polish Waterworks), the only economic self-government organization in the water and sewage sector in Poland, established in September 1992.

[19] The entire scheme, however, was never achieved: the nest in the tripod was supposed to be crowned with the Piast eagle, considered by the communist authorities to be too similar to the symbols used during World War II by the Polish Armed Forces in the West.

Round shaped stones can be found on the grass, positioned on ellipse rings surrounding the statue: they represent the astronomical objects of the Solar System in orbit, including the Sun and the Moon.
