Sundials of St Mary’s Church in Gdańsk / Zegary słoneczne kościoła pw. Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Panny Marii w Gdańsku
Abstrakt
The paper presents contemporary research evidence of form, function and history of the sundials of St Mary’s Church in Gdańsk. The discussed sundials are located on the southern wall of the church transept. The sundial, which is believed to be made by Lorenzo Zachau in 1533, is placed on the west side of the western window, at the edge of the wall. The face of this sundial is separated by a horizontal line into two parts. The upper part is painted in stars and sun with metal bar (polos). The painting in the lower part has numbers and divisions denoting hours and halfhours. Researches, which have been conducted in connection to the conservational works allowed identifying irregular relics of plaster on the east side of this sundial and on the left side of the central window as relics of the second sundial. Outline of its face is marked by dents on the bricks. In the upper part a hole was found in which the polos was embedded. This sundial was located under the waterspout. Falling water caused its destruction, abandonment and foundation of the new sundial in a different place (near the edge of the wall). From these facts one can infer about the time of the foundation of this sundial. Probably it was made in the 2nd half of the 15th century as the first sundial in Gdańsk. Value of two sundials of St Mary church in Gdańsk arise from early origins and unique form.
