History
For the broader history of the area which this is in, which goes into deeper detail regarding its past, see Zaspa § History. Rozstaje, known in German as Eckhof, was initially a small manor house in Zaspa which was part of the village. As of 1905, it had 10 inhabitants, and became part of the city of Danzig in 1914. The current area known as Zaspa-Rozstaje was developed in the 1970s, on the grounds of a former airport, and became a separate district in 1990.[3][4]
