Name
editThe park is named after Stanisław Nadratowski (1950–1970), a student and self-declared pacifist, drafted into military, who was fatally shot in unknown circumstances during the 1970 Polish protests in Szczecin.[1][2]
History
editIn 1846, to the north of Malczewskiego Street, was opened the extension of the Grabowo Cemetery, in a form of a rectangle with length of 200 m, and width of 80 m. It was placed between buildings at current Malczewskiego, Kazimierza, Plater, and Parkowa Streets.[3][4] Between 1888 and 1890, to the north of the cemetery, was constructed the St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (then known as the Church of Peace).[3]
At the end of the 19th century, the Grabowo Cemetery became full, and a portion of its graves detiorated and was overgrown by nature. Most of the gravestones of the cemetery were removed in 1910, and the area turned into a park, known as the Grabowo Gardens (now Stefan Żeromski Park). The graves themselves were never exhumated. The area to the north of Malczewskiego Street became a separate park, now known as Stanisław Nadratowski Park.[5]
It was renovated in 2017.[6]
Characteristics
editThe park has a form a rectangle attached to Malczewskiego Street, and placed between buildings at current Malczewskiego, Kazimierza, Plater, and Parkowa Streets. It borders the Stefan Żeromski Park to the south.[6]
