Not the castle...it was build by the Order as "Marienburg".
The Poles can't stand any reminders of their german past and renamed it to "Malbork".
They did alot of renaming after '18 and '45.

ROFL, THEY BUILD MARIENBURG!
Sometimes I get the impression that when one takes out the polish things which are in core german there would be not much left...
The Hanse...another german thing...

...The town of Marienburg grew in the vicinity of the castle. The river Nogat and flat terrain allowed easy access for barges a hundred kilometers from the sea. During Prussia's government by the Teutonic Knights, they collected tolls on river traffic and imposed a monopoly of the amber trade.
The town later became a member of the Hanseatic League, and many Hanseatic meetings were held there...
