The university was founded in 1904 as Königliche Technische Hochschule zu Danzig. At the time Gdańsk, after partitions of Poland was known as Danzig, and was part of the German Empire. The history of Gdańsk is complex and the city itself belonged, at different times to Poland and Germany. By the decision of Treaty of Versailles in the period of 1920–1939 it had become a “free city”. The names of the city’s educational institutions were affected by the changes in the city status.
