Notes about Heinrich Julius Gronert

Pillau
A Prussian fishing village sprang up on the coast at some point in the 13th century, taking its name from pils , the Old Prussian word for "fort". A great tempest created the navigable lagoon in front of the village on 10 September 1510. This fostered the growth of Pillau into an important port of the Duchy of Prussia. In 1629 a star fort was constructed which remains one of the town's landmarks. By the end of the 17th century, the town had expanded considerably. A lighthouse and a stone church were built. Peter the Great of Russia visited Pillau on three occasions, the first being in 1697, in connection with his Great Embassy to Western Europe. There is a statue of the Tsar next to the lighthouse.
In June 1807 Pillau was stormed by Napoleon's Grand Army.
On 15 November 1901 the Königsberg Canal was opened between Pillau and Königsberg. Constructed at a staggering cost of 13 million marks, the waterway allowed vessels of a 21-foot draught to moor alongside the city or to sail to the capital of East Prussia without stopping at Pillau. This dealt a serious blow to the town's economy.

During World War II, Pillau had a U-boat training facility. As the Red Army entered East Prussia, more than 450,000 refugees were ferried from Pillau to central and western Germany. Pillau was eventually captured by Soviets on April 25, 1945. After the war, this part of East Prussia passed to the Soviet Union, and the German inhabitants were expelled. During the Russification campaign, the town's name was changed to Baltiysk in 1946.

After the retreat of Napoleon's troops around 1815, Pillau became part of East Pruissia again and Fredrich Gronert moved to Pillau around 1825. He was a ship builder. Friederich Gronert married Justine Amalie Christopher in 1830 in Pillau, and they had 11 children all born in Pillau. Around 1865 Pillau was concurred by Poland, and most pruissians left for Konigsberg. The Gronert family must have also left Pillau around this time.

Heinrich Julius Gronert was born in 1836 in the town of Pillau in East Pruissia.
He left the town of Pillau and moved to the city of Amsterdam (as a 21-year-old) on 4th of March 1857. (see "Foreigner Registration of the Amsterdam Police" -City Archives of Amsterdam). His profession is listed as "Junior Merchant in training" and he lived as a boarder with Mr. A.Feistug (shopkeeper) at Niewendijk # 241.
Heinrich Julius Gronert had a "Prussian Passport # 88, issued by the police in Koningsberg, Prussia on 14 Feb 1857.
In the German community in Amsterdam, Julius met Nicolaus H. Mackeprang, who had immigrated to Amsterdam in 1859 from Palen, Sleswig-Holstein, Denmark. Nico Mackeprang had a half-sister Wilhelmine Amalie Randel.
Julius Gronert married in 1859 in Brunsbuttel, Schleswig-Holstein to Whilhelmine Amalie Randel. Took his bride to Amsterdam where they started a family and had 10 children.
In 1860 Julius Gronert (24 years old) is listed with his wife in the "Foreigner Registration of Amsterdam" living at Geldersche Kade #69. In 1862 Julius and his wife lived at Oude Zijds Voorburgwal #59.
In 1860 Julius started working as a merchant for a Grain Trading Company. He became a successful business man in the city of Amsterdam.
