- Below, a map of the remnants of the old
ghetto of
Schneidemühl,
as recorded in 1803. The
ghetto had
first been
established by decree of
Queen Konstancja after the great fire of 1626.
The decree read:
“The side of the ghetto
measured from the rising sun, along the road to Ujscie should be 30
ruten, the side toward the setting sun, should
also be 30 ruten (where the town’s farmlands were). At the
midday side, the ghetto should measure 11 ruten—there,
where there is a garden that belongs to the Catholic Johannes
church.
Toward
the side of midnight, where the vicar’s place and fields are
bordering, the side should measure 16 rhuten and 4 ellen.”
