Danziger Höhe


The Danziger Höhe (Kreis Danziger Höhe) was an administrative district founded in 1887 and dissolved in 1939. The area it covered is now within Poland.

The district was formed from parts of the previous Danzig Rural District () within the Danzig Region, West Prussia Province, within the Kingdom of Prussia, itself a part of Germany since 1871. The district administration was in the City of Danzig, which did not form part of the district. In 1910, the district had 53,506 inhabitants, of which 23,955 were Protestant and 29,206 Roman Catholic. 9.7% had officially declared that they spoke the Kashubian language. When the regulations of the Treaty of Versailles became effective in 1920, the Danziger Höhe became a district in the new Free City of Danzig. After the German conquest, the district was merged in December 1939 in a new bigger district of the occupational government.
