Two years later, the city address book makes the first reference to 8 buildings on Heinestraße. • 19th century - 1920, Heinestraße or Heynestraße. Friedrich Hermann Heyne (1813–1856) was the Bürgermeister of Bromberg from 1845 to 1856, at a time of dynamic economic development, in particular with the opening of the city to the network of the Prussian Eastern Railway. • German occupation (1939 - 1945), Memel straße, in reference to the Memel Territory (, the northernmost part of the German province of East Prussia. • 1920 - 1939 and since 1945, Ulica Mazowiecka .
