The article examines particular issues of the Upper Silesian industry after the Great War, namely: concentration of foreign capital in the mining and metallur­ gical industries; great mining and metallurgical enterprises in the periods of both industrial pros­ perity and crisis; attempts to limit the influence of foreign capital following the introduction of ju­ dicial supervision over Katowicka Spółka Akcyjna dla Górnictwa i Hutnictwa SA and Górnośląskie Zjednoczone Huty “Królewska” i “Laura” SA; the emergence of Wspólnota Interesów Górniczo– Hutniczych SA (Mining and Metallurgy Community of Interests Joint Stock Company) in the fi­ nal years of the Second Polish Republic.

    My Exchange (ERASMUS) Stays in Czestochowa Częstochowa

    My exchange (ERASMUS) stays in Czestochowa Częstochowa Czestochowa is a city in the southern part of Poland, with an estimated population of about 240,027 inhabitants as at June of 2009. The city is known for the famous Pauline monastery of Jasna Góra, which is the home of the Black Madonna painting which is translated in polish as Polish: Jasnogórski Cudowny obraz Najświętszej Maryi Panny Niepokalanie Poczętej. This is a shrine that was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world come to Częstochowa to see this. The city also was home to the Frankism in the late 18th and 19th Century. There is also a Lusatian culture excavation site and museum in the city and ruins of a medieval castle in Olsztyn, approximately 25 kilometers from the city Centre. Which is in my opinion a must go place whenever anyone finds themselves in Czestochowa. City name The name of Częstochowa means ''Częstoch's place, This comes from a personal name of Częstoch mentioned in the medieval documents also as Częstobor and Częstomir. There are different variations of the name include Czanstochowa'' used in 1220, and Częstochow used in 1382 and 1558. A part of today's city called Częstochówka was a separate municipality mentioned in 14th century as the Old Częstochowa (Antiquo Czanstochowa, 1382) and Częstochówka in 1470-80. The city was also known in German as Tschenstochau and in Russian as Ченстохов (Chenstokhov). Why Czestochowa I believe the best way to know is through personal experience. as a result of this, i have always been curious about different cultures and customs.

    New Gliwice Business and Education Centre, Poland

    Smart strategies for the transition in coal intensive regions Project No: 836819 Fact Sheet: “New Gliwice” Business and Education Centre April 2020 Description “New Gliwice” Business and Education Center GAPR Ltd. is a revitalized complex of buildings of the former Gliwice Coal Mine, located a short distance from the city center, near the Gliwice – Sośnica junction connecting the A1 and A4 motorways, Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa (the Intercity Road) and exit from the A4 motorway to Rybnicka Street. It is a unique place in which restored buildings of the former mine are adjacent to modern headquarters of IT companies and advanced technology enterprises from industries such as electrical engineering, power engineering, telecommunications, aviation. New Gliwice Business and Education Center is a unique place that owes its “life” to the “Gliwice” Coal Mine. Two beautifully renovated brick buildings growing out of the ground at Bojkowska Street, which attract the eye from a distance, are the remains of the Gliwice mine from the first decade of the 20th century. It is hard to believe that today’s vibrant New Gliwice is a place where coal was once mined, miners prepared for work, and foremen handed out tasks. In the twentieth century, an important point on the economic map of Gliwice was a coal mine, which extracted coal in the southern part of the city called Trynek. Until 1945, the plant was called “Gliwitzer Grube”, and after that date KWK “Gliwice”. Construction of this mining plant started in 1901 by combining 16 adjacent mining fields, which belonged to William Suermondt and a group of entrepreneurs from the Rhineland.

INITIATIVE FOR COAL REGIONS IN TRANSITION SILESIA, POLAND - REGIONAL PROFILE 2 Overview Silesia is the most populated and urbanised region in Poland with over 4.5 million inhabitants. 78% of its population live in cities and its population density is 370 people/km2. The region comprises of eight NUTS-3 subregions, out of which six are notably affected by coal mining and related industries. The communities where the majority of the miners live are located in central and western subregions - namely Katowicki subregion, Bytomski subregion, Gliwicki subregion, Rybnicki subregion, Sosnowiecki subregion, and Tyski subregion. Silesia is the most coal-dependent region in Poland with mining playing an important role in the regional economy. However, its gradual decline in recent years is also apparent as production is declining in view of falling productivity and low profitability.

The most important of these is some experience in responding to its spread and in applying vaccines. However, new, more aggressive variants of COVID-19 mean that the pandemic is often taking on the nature of the one experienced by societies a year ago. So, the knowledge about the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is still up-to-date—significantly where the essential determinants of its spread have not changed. The article presents the Silesian Voivodeship case in Southern Poland, distinguished by different geographical conditions compared to the entire country. The authors showed the relationship between the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic and the characteristic attributes of the analysed area (post-)mining functions or urban shrinkage. The article conducted a dependence study using the Pearson correlation coefficient and the signs table method. In turn, the authors used thematic cartography to present the results of the analysis.

    Regionalism in Upper Silesia the Concept of Autonomous Regions in Poland

Regionalism in Upper Silesia The Concept of Autonomous Regions in Poland by Nóra Baranyai Introduction The decentralization of power, in particular, regionalization in the western and the eastern part of the old continent was brought about by both the European Union and processes of democratization, modernization and economic transformation. While in Western European states the structures built on state organization traditions and territorial units with regional identities were formed through centuries based on economic, political or ethnic considerations, in Eastern Europe the overdue feudalism resulted in the dominance of the central level instead of creating the culture of territo- rial governance and management. As a result, regional identity remained immature, moreover, in the characteristically multinational states it was overwritten by national and ethnic identity (Illés, 2002) with regional sig- nificance. In the initial phase of the transitional period the main objective in most Central and Eastern European states (CEECs) was the reinforce- ment of the nation state and the establishment of political and economic stability, decentralization and regionalization, therefore, were not topical issues. Later the reforms were related to several dissaprovals by the govern- ments and led to political debates among parties. Regional reform processes were formed by the lack of historical traditions and patterns of regional autonomy, the fear from the dissolution of the newly indepentent states’ unity (Yoder, 2003), which often resulted in hurried decentralization with the transformation of the institutional system and the regional structures.

When language was legislated into the statistical measure of nationality in the second half of the nineteenth century, Berlin pressured the Slavophone Catholic peasant-cum-worker population of Upper Silesia to become ‘proper Germans’, this is, German-speaking and Protestant. To the German ennationalizing2 pressure the Polish equivalent was added after the division of Upper Silesia between Poland and Germany in 1922. The borders and ennationalizing policies changed in 1939 when the entire region was reincorporated into wartime Germany, and, again, in 1945 following the incorporation of Upper Silesia into postwar Poland.

A conurbation is an urban area (agglomeration) that has been formed by the merging together of more than one urban area. The normal pattern is for a large urban area to simply expand outward, engulfing small municipalities and suburbs. But a conurbation occurs when large urban areas combine. Perhaps the largest conurbation is Osaka- Kobe-Kyoto,1 while other famous ones are Dallas-Fort Worth and Minneapolis-St. Paul. Most conurbations constitute two or at most three former urban areas. But there are two notable exceptions. The first is Essen-Dusseldorf, which is variously known as Essen, the Rhine-Ruhr and the Rhine-Ruhr-Wupper. The other is in neighboring Poland, what we will refer to as Katowice-Gliwice-Tichy, a name chosen to convey the geographic expanse of continuous urbanization. Essen-Dusseldorf, also a name we use to clearly delineate the inclusion of both the north and south parts of the urban area, is composed of a number of municipalities with from 250,000 to 600,000 population. In Katowice-Gliwice-Tichy, the municipalities are smaller, with six ranging from 150,000 to 350,000.

REGIO Ideological and Territorial Cohesion of Silesia vol. 3 eds Lucyna Harc, Przemysław Wiszewski, Rościsław Żerelik Silesia under the Authority of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) (1741–1918) Silesia under the Authority of Hohenzollerns vol. 3 Silesia under the Authority This volume contains a collection of studies which are the product of research of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) on the formation of Silesia as a region in the period 1740-1918. It is another portion of the summary of research undertaken by a team of Polish historians in conjunction with their participation in the programme of the European Science Foundation entitled Cuius regio. An analysis of the cohesive and disruptive forces determining the attachment and commitment of (groups of) persons to and the cohesion within regions. The project’s assumptions were for original analyses to be conducted on five factors significant in the functioning of the region: administration (Paweł Jaworski), economy (Teresa Kulak), social groups (Wanda Musialik and Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers), ethnic issues (Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers) and the national and cultural identity of the region’s inhabitants (Teresa Kulak). In each of the spheres analysed in this book, what has been demonstrated is the prevalence of disintegrating factors in the region from the period of its seizure by the armies of Frederick II until the conclusion of World War I. Top-down efforts undertaken by the authorities aimed at integrating the region with the Prussian state, and then with the Reich, did not fully achieve their objectives. The split into the two sub-regions of Upper and Lower Silesia would seem to be inevitable, in spite of particular unifying elements, particularly in the economic sphere during the second half of the 19ʰ and beginning of the 20ʰ century.
