This article appears in Volume V15, Page 896 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KONITZ , a town of Germany, in the province of West
Prussia
 , at the junction of railways to Schneidemuhl and Gnesen, 68 m. S.W. of Danzig. Pop. (1905), 11,014. It is still surrounded by its old fortifications, has two Evangelical and two Roman Catholic churches, a new town-
hall
 , handsome public offices, and a prison. It has iron-foundries, saw-mills, electrical works, and manufactures of bricks. Konitz was the first fortified post established in
Prussia
  by Hermann Balk, who in 1230 had been commissioned as Landmeister, by the grand-master of the Teutonic order, to reduce the
heathen
  Prussians. For a
long
  time it continued to be a place of military importance.
See Uppenkamp, Geschichte der Stadt Konitz (Konitz, 1873).
