  • St. John's Cathedral Wrocław
    St. John’s Cathedral Wrocław The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. Wroclaw Town Hall The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz) of Wroclaw stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek). Wroclaw is the largest city in western Poland and isthe site of many beautiful buildings. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects the developments that have taken place in the city over time since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition to a concert hall, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.

The work includes references to the basic programme documents and strategies. It shows regeneration activities carried out in Wrocław in connection with the organization of international events, cultural and sport events, and with the improvement of spatial order.

  • The Characteristics of Cultural Tourists Who Visit Urban Jewish Heritage Centres: the Case Study of Visitors to the White Stork Synagogue in Wroc Ław
    DOI: 10.1515/tour-2016-0014 e-ISSN 2080-6922 ISSN 0867-5856 Tourism 2016, 26/2 Magdalena Duda-Seifert Wrocław University Institute of Geography and Regional Development Department of Regional Geography and Tourism [email protected] THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTURAL TOURISTS WHO VISIT URBAN JEWISH HERITAGE CENTRES: THE CASE STUDY OF VISITORS TO THE WHITE STORK SYNAGOGUE IN WROC ŁAW Abstract: Since the White Stork Synagogue in Wrocław has been restored, opened to visitors and become a part of the so-called District of the Four Faiths promoted by the city council, both the synagogue and its neighbourhood have become tourist attractions which support Wrocław’s image as a multicultural city. Therefore, the aim of the article is to identify the characteristics of tourists visiting the synagogue which could help understand the specific features of those attracted by urban Jewish heritage. As a result of research with the use of surveys, interviews and observation, the highly emotive cognitive approach of tourists has been determined as the dominant feature in this niche market. Moreover, its strongly international character and its specific age and education structure have been pinpointed. These features form the basis for the conclusion that the tourists attracted by urban Jewish heritage form a very specific niche market which can be targeted especially by large cities through the development of themed tourist products. Keywords: cultural tourism, Jewish heritage, Wrocław. 1.

  • The Collective Memory of a City. the Case of Wrocław
    BARBARA PABJAN Institute of Sociology, University of Wrocław The collective memory of a city. The case of Wrocław What is the collective memory of a city and collective memory? Th is paper examines the collective memory of a city’s population. Th e col- lective memory of a city is defi ned here as a collective image of the city’s history, particularly in connection with the urban space. For a sociologist, a city is not only a material substance — urban space, buildings, but also the community which creates a city. Th erefore the collective memory of a city is associated with urban space and its meanings and the activity of its inhabitants (commemorative practices). Th is article proposes a sociological analysis of the memory of a city by which I mean an empirical study of 1) the collective knowledge of the inhabit- ants about their city’s past, 2) collective practices of commemoration. Collect- ive means shared by a substantial part of the population. Memory as knowledge about the past is framed and shaped by the social context and this is a fundamen- tal assumption for the sociological analysis of memory (Halbwachs 1950; Misztal 2006; Szacka 2006). Th e memory of the city’s past is represented in the collective memory of the city’s community as well as in urban space. Identity is an import- ant category of an analysis of collective memory. Memory and identity are con- cepts that are closely linked. Th e reconstruction of memory about the city is at the same time the reconstruction of the city’s identity: “Memory is knowledge with an identity-index, it is knowledge about oneself, that is, one’s own diachronic identity, be it as an individual or as a member of a family, a generation, a community, a na- tion, or a cultural and religious tradition” (Assmann 2008, 114).

  • Remembering and Belonging: Jewish Heritage and Civic Agency in Poland’S Haunted Urban Spaces1
    Special Issue — Edited by I. Pardo, G. B. Prato, J. Rosbrook-Thompson Urbanities, Vol. 10 · Supplement 3 ·February 2020 Ethnographies of Urbanity in Flux: Theoretical Reflections © 2020 Urbanities Remembering and Belonging: Jewish Heritage and Civic Agency in Poland’s Haunted Urban Spaces1 Hana Cervinkova Juliet D. Golden (Maynooth University) (Syracuse Abroad, Central Europe Program) [email protected] [email protected] In the context of Poland’s recent illiberal turn, large cities have been important stages where the fault lines of the national imaginary that run through Polish society have become apparent. In this article, based on ethnographic research in the Polish city of Wroclaw, we focus on individual cultural agents who have engaged with the marginalised Jewish heritage of the city in constructing diverse imaginaries of urban belonging. Their work, carried out against the backdrop of exclusionary nationalist agenda of the Polish state, illuminates the power of human agency to harness cultural heritage as a social and political resource for the present. We show how through their urban-based practices, these cultural agents challenge the Polish hegemonic heritage discourses that exclude the Other from the national imaginary. Keywords: Jewish heritage, urban space, identity, belonging, civic agency, Breslau, Wroclaw, Poland. Introduction In this article, we focus on civic agency of individuals in contemporary urban Poland, who through their practices engage in the production of diverse urban imaginaries. Our ethnographic study draws on interviews and observations of people and institutions that specifically build their activity on sites of or in reference to the Jewish heritage of the city of Wroclaw.
