“Maths around us” 2015-1-PL01-KA219-016511_1

The town was probably founded by the prince Henryk III from Wrocław, whose knight Konrad came to this area in 1226. According to documents of 1268, the name Münsterberg appeared in place of Sambice – a Slav city destroyed during Tartar invasion in 1241. The oldest document of Ziębice which mentioned the German name „Münsterbeck” comes from 1253. German name of the town comes from the words „town on a mountain”. Based on old documents, Bolko I from Jawor was to build a castle and surround it with defense walls. It is mentioned in documents of 1301.

First information about defense walls comes from 1336, probably in that time the first stone church was built in Ziębice. In 1355 the youngest son of Bolko I – Bolko II as the „Prince of Ziębice” overtook the town with belonging properties and established in Ziębice a residence. In 1355 he recognized Czech supremacy and became Czech vassal. The town Ziębice was directly ruled by the Czechs since 1428, after the death of the Prince Jan the last one of the Piast house (first Polish dynasty) the town was under domination of the Czech house Podiebrad until 1548. The most tragic moments in the history took place during Hussies wars. The wars resulted in general destruction and poverty of the town and inhabitants. These problems were slowly overcome till the end of 15th century. After 1548 Ziębice with the entire duchy were under domination of different houses: Legnica Piasts, Habsburgs, Brzeg Piasts and in 1565 again Habsburgs who made Ziebice a Czech feud and ruled until

1654 when Ziębice passed to private possession of the Auersperg family. Ziębice remained in possession of the Auersperg house (Austrian family) until 1791. After Hussies wars the town had its period of rise and prosperity which lasted until the War of Thirty Years. The War again led to destruction and fall of the town which was accompanied by plague in 1633. After renewal of privileges in 1655 the city was destroyed again in 1678 by a great fire. After the first Silesian War in 1742 the town was dominated by the Prussians and until 1945 remained under German rule. After the World War II the town together with the entire Kłodzko Duchy became Polish. Monuments The most important monuments of Ziębice are: well preserved defense walls (beautiful Paczków Gate from 1491), many old houses and beautiful St. Gregory Church (13th – 14th century, North portal comes from 13th century). In the City Hall there is a museum with unique collection of cutlery and different household appliances. Within the town limits there is also a park which was established by the inhabitants on the turn of 19th century. Museum The Regional Museum in Ziębice was established in 1931, collecting presents and testimonials from the town inhabitants. In 1937 Marta Schlaffke-Langer, widow after a painter from Ziębice, professor of Art School in Wroclaw Joseph Langer, turned over his rich antiques and paintings collection which is the most valuable treasure of the museum. In 1972 the museum was changed into the museum of household articles and appliances. Apart from collection of cutlery and household articles (irons, washing equipment, refrigerators, typewriters, mangles) there are valuable collections of personal and guild seals from 15th to 20th centuries, as well as old prints, liturgical books, baroque sacral sculpture, military accessories, furniture and some rarities such as icon of St. John Baptist Angel of Desert from the first half of 17th century, one of few preserved in Europe wooden guild altars and the largest collection of paintings by Joseph Langer.

headed to the west to settled on the Bohemian hilly countryside, while Lech traveled north. There, while hunting, Lech followed his arrow and suddenly found himself face-to-face with a fierce, white eagle guarding its nest from intruders. Seeing the eagle against the red of the setting sun, Lech took this as a good omen and decided to settle there. He named his settlement Gniezno (Polish gniazdo 'nest') in commemoration and adopted the White Eagle as his coat-of-arms. The white eagle remains a symbol of Poland to this day, and the colors of the eagle and the setting sun are depicted in Poland's coat of arms. Ziębice coat of arms

Wrocław leaflet The name Wrocław was probably taken from the name of the famous duke Wrocisław who lived here in 10th century. But till year 1000 no source mentioned Wrocław. The first mention of Wrocław appeared in 1000 and was written by Thietmar who was the bishop of Berseburg in Germany. He described the meeting of emperor Otto III and Polish duke Bolesław the Brave in 1000 in Gniezno. This year was very important in Polish history because they decided to set the archbishopric Wrocław was mentioned as one of three bishoprics under the superior authority of Gniezno. The first Bishop Ordinary of Wrocław was Johannes about whom little is known. Undoubtedly Wrocław was already the capital of all Silesia by the 11th century. Wrocław in dates: 1000 – Wrocław was mentioned for the first time in historical source. 1241 – the Mongol invasion and location on German law – the beginning of the market square. 1335 – death of the last Polish Piast duke – Henry IV, Wrocław became the Czech town. 1526 – after the battle of Mochacz Wrocław became the part of the Habsburg monarchy and was Austrian city.

From 13 February 1945 to 6 May 1945, German troops in Breslau were besieged by the Soviet forces which encircled the city as part of the

“Maths around us” 2015-1-PL01-KA219-016511_1

Lower Silesian Offensive Operation. In August 1944, Adolf Hitler declared the city of Breslau to be a fortress (Festung), ordering that it must be defended at all costs. During his poorly organized evacuation in January and February 1945, around 18,000 German people froze to death, mostly children and babies, in icy snowstorms and −20 °C weather. By the end of the Siege of Breslau, 50% of the old town, 90% of the western and southern and 10–30% of the northern and northeastern quarters of the city had been destroyed. 40,000 inhabitants, including forced laborers, lay dead in the ruins of homes and factories. After a siege of nearly three months, "Fortress Breslau" surrendered on 7 May 1945. It was one of the last major cities in Germany to fall. 1945 According to Jałta Wrocław became a part of Poland again. Map – Poland before and after II WW. Ostrów Tumski is the oldest part of the city. The place was excellent for the first inhabitants because of the river Odra (the second longest river in Poland) that gave them a safe shelter. The archeologists found the remains from 9th century. For the earliest times until 19th century Ostrów Tumski was the island, in 19th century Napoleon who captured Wrocław gave the order to destroy the defensive walls and fill the river bed and Ostrów stopped to be an island. There is the greatest cluster of churches and sacral places in Wrocław with the most important church – Saint John cathedral. There is also seminary for young men who decided to be priests. They have to attend this school for 6 years, there is a church museum, many baroque sculptures. Aula Theologica – it the hall of Pope Theological Faculty. This building was the seat of bishop of Wrocław incessantly from 1000 to 1945 so for about 1,000 thousand years.

It’s a kind of arcade that connects two buildings: the Saint Idzi’s church and the building of vestry. It’s a building from 1520 and it isn’t straight. With this gate a legend is connected. An old man whose wife died sometimes ago stopped here sat and slept under this gate. He saw his wife in his dream. Wife gave him the bowl of dumplings. But she said: don’t eat everything and save one dumpling. He woke up and saw a bowl of dumplings. He started to eat but he wanted to eat everything. The last dumpling escaped from the bowl, lift in the air and landed on the arcade next it became the stone dumpling to warn everyone that people shouldn’t be greedy.

It is the crest of bishopric of Wrocław. Museum of church in Wrocław with thousands of exhibits. It includes the most valuable book in Poland. Why? It was written in 13th century but the most important is the fact that one sentence was written written in Polish language. In middle ages everything was written in Latin. This book was written in Henryków where there is a famous monastery and one of its monk named Peter wrote this book for the monastery. The sentence: Daj ja bobruszę a ty pociwaj” – “I will help you and you can rest” a husband says to his working wife who was making flour. Saint John is the saint patron of Wrocław and the cathedral. The first bishop of Wrocław was also called John. This sculpture is not original, it is the replica. The original sculpture collapsed and was heavily damaged during the second World War it was reconstructed and now is exhibited in the church museum opposite. The Saint John’s cathedral was built in the gothic style and it is from 14th century. It is the fourth cathedral on this place. The remains of the previous churches are exhibited in the basement of the cathedra. The oldest cathedra was probably built between 960-980. It was built in gothic style but the chapels at the back are in baroque style. They are very rich on the left there is the Saint Elisabeth’s chapel and on the lest the Elector’s chapel. The cathedral was damaged 80% during the second world war. Some people thought it is impossible to rebuilt it or that is in vain. You can see the picture when you come in the cathedral on your left.

There are many angels and one is bold without hair. Saint Christ’s church in gothic style founded by one of the most important duke in Silesia Henry IV Probus. Precisely there are two churches in one building – upstairs and downstairs. Duke Henry quarreled with the bishop Thomas. And this church was built as an agreement between the bishop and the duke. There are two churches upstairs: Saint Cross’s church and downstairs: Saint Bartłomiej’s church. Saint Bartłomiej was the saint patron of the Polish dynasty Piastowie in Wrocław. According to the legend when the church was building workers found the root in the shape of cross. That’s why this is now Saint Cross’s church. We can admire this root in the church museum. Until 1999 Saint Bartłomiej church was Greco catholic church now it is catholic again. The tower is 69 meters. Orphantrophaeum – building from 17th century was the foundation of the bishop.

Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction: those who would like to combine sight-seeing in Wrocław with dwarf-tracking are offered special brochures with a map and mobile application software for smart phones. As of 2014, there are over 300 dwarfs spread all over the city. Why dwarfs in Wrocław?

In 2003, the Mayor of Wrocław, in an attempt to continue the new tradition, unveiled a small plaque on the door of The Dwarfs’ Museum. It can be found at the height of human knees on the wall of a historic tenement called Jaś, which is situated between the Market Square and St. Elizabeth’s Church. ww.krasnale.pl University of Wrocław

Initially they created the Faculties of law and administration, arts, natural sciences, agriculture, veterinary, medicine, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Some of these Faculties were soon transformed into other universities. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the University of Wrocław produced 9 Nobel Prize winners, such as Theodor Mommsen, Philipp Lenard, Eduard Buchner, Paul Ehrlich, Fritz Haber, Friedrich Bergius, Erwin Schrödinger, Otto Stern and Max Born. Today the University of Wrocław is the largest university in the region and teaches over 40,000 students and around 1300 doctoral students at 10 Faculties. 9000 students graduate from the University every year.

the great scales, east – the green reed and north the sweetness. Almost all the buildings were damaged during II World War, all were rebuild. One of the most beautiful is the tenement house called Under the Golden Dog. It is a very good reconstruction from 18th century according to the old photos. In every part of the market people sold another goods, mainly cloth, wool, meat, fish, and crafts products: shoes, jewellery, clothes. The most impressive church near the market is Saint Elisabeth’s church. Originally there was a Romanesque church but in 1253 the duke Henry III gave the money for bigger a church. It belonged to the order with the red star. The monks of this order looked after the sick people. They organized the hospitals in Wrocław. In 1525 the church was taken over by protestants from Wrocław and it was the temple of protestants until 1945. In 1945 it became the church for Polish soldiers. There were three big fires, that damages the church the worst was in 1976 year when the whole roof and the beautiful equipment of the temple burnt. The church lost priceless organs made in 17 th century by Engler. The reconstruction lasted over 20 years. Since 2003 it is the basilica minor. In front of the church there are the houses of altarists who were the priests who couldn’t say the mess before the main altar. Only two of them remained they are called John and Margaret. Margaret is the older and higher “she” is holding the younger brother John. In the past there was a cemetery around the church and the main entrance was through this gate. On the gate there is a sentence that says the “Death is the gate to the life”. The tower has 90 meters and 402 steps. There is an interesting epitaph that is connected with the historical fact. In 1529 there was a strong wind and storm during it the tower was broken, it was at night and nobody was killed except the cat. Because the church was taken over the protestants. The catholic and protestants explained this fact in other way. According to the protestants the good sent the angels who were carried the tower that’s why nobody was killed, catholic sad that good sent the storm and broke the tower because the church was taken over protestants. John was the place of working one of the famous Wrocław’s artist who is called Get Stankiewicz. He put some of his work on his building: there is Jesus, cross and hammer and nails and we can crucify him: “Do it yourself”. There is a monument of David Benhoffer – German pastor. It is replica of the monument from Berlin. Benhofer was protestant pastor who was a man of ecumenism and disagree with Hitler. He was in the USA but returned and started to criticize Hitler’s policy. He was sentenced to the death and was killed by German in April 1945 so a month before the end of the II world war.

Millions of Polish people had to move to the west here in Low Silesia and millions of German had to move west to German. And with Polish people the monument came and it is standing here since 1952.
