PILLAU

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 610 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PILLAU , a seaport and watering-place of Germany, in the Prussian province of
East
 
Prussia
 , on the spit of sand (Nehrung) which separates the Frische Haff from the Baltic, on the north of the entrance channel, and 29 M. by
rail
  from
Konigsberg
 . Pop. (1905), 7374. It is fortified and has a harbour, which serves as the outer port of
Konigsberg
 , and to some extent also of
Elbing
  and Braunsberg. A new navigable channel was in 1900-1901 constructed across the Frische Haff from Pillau to Konigsberg. Pillau has a school of navigation, and is a well-known pilot station. Ship-building, sail-making, fishing and the working of amber are carried on.
Pillau is memorable as the place where Gustavus
Adolphus
  of
Sweden
  landed in 1626. It did not obtain civic privileges until 1725, but was fortified shortly after that date. In 1807 it offered a stout resistance to the French. By a treaty of the 24th of
February
  1812 it was ceded to
Napoleon
 , but on the 6th of
February
  in the following year it was restored to
Prussia
 .
