History
Piecki
The village of Piecki is first mentioned as Pietzkendorf in a 1439 document wherein the Teutonic State granted the village to two knights, by which time it already had 36 gardens. It was owned by the Hospital of the Holy Ghost from 1546 onwards. It was destroyed during the Siege of Danzig in 1577 and returned to individual ownership once again in 1589.
In 1698, Johann Uphagen, the owner of the Hospitals of the Holy Ghost and of St. Elizabeth, rented out Piecki. The Uphagen family continued controlling the village, building the Uphagen Manor in the area, which stands to this day.

Why this record matters
“Piecki-Migowo” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Piecki-Migowo, city and district provides the most credible route into that argument.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7191438. Authority coordinates are 54.358, 18.580. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1439, 1546, 1577 and 1589.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
