Ⅲ.Economy
Industrial traditions:
The intensive economic development of Grudziądz began in the second half of the 19th century, which was undoubtedly influenced by the city's natural assets, noticed by industrial capital. In 1862 the foundry of Herzfeld and Victorius (today Hydro-Vacuum SA) was established, and in 1882 the agricultural machinery factory of August Ventzki (today's Unia Group Sp. Z oo). In addition to the metal industry, the food and processing industry was developing rapidly. In the same period, infrastructure investments important for the city were undertaken: a permanent bridge over the Vistula was built, a railway junction was created, a gas plant, a power plant, water and sewage systems, and a tram line were launched. Trade, crafts and financial services also developed efficiently. All these aspects changed the image of the town from a small garrison town with a population of just fewer than 11,000 in 1852 inhabitants, into a thriving economic center with over 40 thousand inhabitants in 1910. This rapid economic development continued also in the interwar period, the city was then one of the strongest economic centers not only in Pomerania, but also in the country. Due to many investments, including the factory of rubber products - Polski Przemysł Gumowy Towarzystwo Akcyjne, Grudziądz was then in the 7th-8th position in the country in terms of financial turnover.
After World War II, the city gained an industrial character, where economically large production plants, employing several thousand employees (GZPG Stomil, Agromet Unia, Pomorska Odlewnia and Emaliernia) dominated. However, the socialist economy with its outdated technology and the production orientation mainly towards eastern markets failed the test in the new realities. This resulted in a massive collapse of plants and a huge increase in the number of unemployed.
For several years, the economic market in Grudziądz has seen changes resulting from general, global trends, i.e. the growing importance of the role of services and trade at the expense of industry. The development of these industries changes the economic face of the city and at the same time strengthens its position as an important commercial and service center for the northern areas of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship, as well as for the southern Pomeranian Voivodeship. The creation of the Industrial Park and the Special Economic Zone in the city attracted new investors to the city.

Grudziadz is a large industrial town with a population exceeding 100,000, is ranked among the major urban areas of the Kuyavian-Pommeranian Voivodship as well as being an important local centre of business, education and culture. The town’s potential for tourism is evaluated as high due to two main factors that have contributed towards its development.
First of all, there is a range of interesting sights that any visitor can explore. Apart from the imposing buttressed granaries along the river, Grudziadz’s Old Town offers many more places to see and things to do. Why not start from the regional museum of contemporary art with its temporary exhibitions and archaeological section, all housed in a former Benedictine convent? In the vicinity is the Gothic red-brick parish church of St. Nicolas and the Baroque Jesuit Church, while the nearby college, formerly run by Jesuits, has been turned into a town hall. There are plenty of other attractions, including a planetarium and the remnants of ancient ramparts.
Grudziądz city centreSecondly, thanks to the great roads in the region, Grudziadz is easily accessible from other major cities and regions in Poland. Running through the town is the road from Germany to Warmia and Masuria, and the international E-75 route passes by only some 5 km away. Moreover, there are more great possibilities for the future of the town since a new highway to Gdansk and a ring road are under construction.
Ⅵ.History and Culture
Grudziądz - a city located in Pomeranian Vistula. It is located on the right, picturesque bank of the Vistula, which is the natural, western border of the Chełmno Land - a land to which it belongs both historically and geographically.
The history of the city dates back to the period of the first Piasts and is associated with the missionary activities carried out in Prussia. The missionary bishop Christian became the owner of Grudziądz and the whole Chełmno Land. Due to the ineffective activity of Christian, the mission was continued by the Teutonic Order, brought by Konrad of Mazovia, which took over the Chełmno Land together with Grudziądz. From that time, until the Second Peace of Toruń in 1466, the city remained under the rule of the Order. After signing the peace treaty, the Chełmno Land was taken over by Poland. The city developed dynamically until the 17th century, when it fell victim to the constant wars waged by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The fate of Grudziądz was sealed with the First Partition of Poland in 1772. It was then that, under the partition, the city was taken over by the Prussian state. Soon after this event, as a result of the decision of the new authorities, in 1776 a huge fortress was built in the vicinity, the defensive and architectural qualities of which we can admire to this day. The period of partitions was not a lost time for the city. Despite numerous repressions by the authorities and increasing Germanization, the city gained new industrial plants, a bridge over the Vistula and railway connections. The greatest development of the city took place in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1920, after nearly 150 years of captivity, the city returned to the borders of the Republic of Poland. It was a completely different Grudziądz than the one from the period of the Teutonic Wars. The economic growth continued and its visible sign for the inhabitants and the whole country was the 1st Pomeranian Exhibition of Agriculture and Industry organized in the city in 1925. The exhibition was officially opened by the then President of the Republic of Poland - Stanisław Wojciechowski.
Apart from industrial values, Grudziądz also gained military importance. In the city, the nationally known Cavalry Training Center, the Gendarmerie Training Center and the Air Shooting and Bombing School were established. Due to the proximity of the border with Germany, numerous military units were also located in Grudziądz.
In September 1939, the city found itself in turmoil of war. As a result of the aggression of Nazi Germany, Grudziądz was under occupation, marked by numerous acts of terror and cruelty. In 1945, the city was liberated, but unfortunately over 60% of its resources were destroyed. After World War II, a systematic reconstruction process began in Grudziądz.
Currently, Grudziądz is a modern city with almost 100 thousand. residents. The attractive location of the city in relation to important communication routes undoubtedly affects its character and determines the growth of its economic potential. The vicinity of the A1 motorway, which is part of the European Transport Corridor connecting Scandinavia with southern Europe, deserves a special mention. This motorway runs in the immediate vicinity of our city, communicating with it through the Grudziądz junction. In addition, there are further motorway junctions within a radius of 20 km - Lisewo, Nowe Marzy and Warlubie. The S5 expressway Wrocław - Poznań - Bydgoszcz - Grudziądz - Ostróda, which will significantly facilitate the connection of the western and north-eastern parts of the country, will also contribute to the transport attractiveness of Grudziądz.
Grudziądz is also a developing industry dominated by the following industries: electrical machinery, light, construction and food. The city has a wide investment offer for potential investors. An additional attraction is the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone, whose presence in the city also significantly affects its economic potential.
In terms of culture and tourism, Grudziądz also has something to be proud of. The town has a complex of granaries from the 16th and 18th centuries, which constitute a characteristic panorama from the side of the Vistula River. In addition, you can admire perfectly preserved fragments of the city walls as well as churches with Gothic and Baroque styles. We cannot forget about the military architecture, the most important representative of which is the Grudziądz citadel.
You can also relax in Grudziądz. We have wonderful beaches on Lake Rudnickie, swimming pools and numerous park complexes.
