Elewator Ewa

Elewator Ewa is a tall grain storage facility standing 64 meters (210 feet) on the waterfront in Szczecin Port, with concrete silos designed for large-scale grain operations. The building dominates the harbor skyline with its bold geometric form and industrial design typical of mid-20th century warehouse architecture.

The elevator was built in 1935 to expand Szczecin's competitive position in Baltic maritime trade during a period of industrial growth. This construction reflected Poland's broader efforts to strengthen its port infrastructure in response to rival ports emerging in the region.

The elevator represents Poland's industrial heritage, serving as a testament to the maritime traditions and economic growth of the Baltic Sea region.

The facility sits directly on the water at Nabrzeże Słowackie dock, where you can observe active port operations from the waterfront. The building itself is not open to visitors, but its exterior can be viewed clearly from nearby public areas along the harbor.

The structure sits on land that was once the separate island of Der fette Ort, which became connected to Łasztownia through an embankment completed in 1933. This land transformation directly enabled the harbor expansion that made the elevator's construction possible.
