The BLS Silesian Explorer Tour, 18 - 22 June 2021 The BLS Silesian Explorer Tour, 18 - 22 June 2021 With New Year optimism we are pleased to offer this tour in Poland during June 2021, a first for the Branch Line Society (BLS). Hopefully by this time vaccinations will have made Coronavirus travel restrictions history and we will be able to run the tour as planned. If not, it will be rescheduled for a future date. At this stage we are looking for serious expressions of interest based on the tour routing, such that we can gauge the level of interest and, crucially, numbers to allow ticket pricing to be determined. Obviously more bookings lead to a lower seat price. Wrocław, the historical capital of the Silesia region of South West Poland, has a complex of lines connecting the many rail routes converging on the city, most of which are freight only. In conjunction with Polish tour operator Turystyka Kolejowa TurKol.pl, the BLS is pleased to offer a five day railtour around Wrocław as well as rare freight lines in the surrounding area. Highlights are the much sought after Żmigród Test Track located north of the city and freight branches including Jerzmanice Zdrój, Gostyń, Murów and Krapkowice. The train will comprise preserved former PKP First Class compartment coaches with drop windows, plus a Bar and Buffet car operated by WARS, the Polish rail catering company, with haulage by SU/SM42 locos likely provided by LOTOS kolej, a private freight operator. An SM30 loco from the local preservation group Klub Sympatyków Kolei we Wrocławiu (KSK) will form the "tail" loco to aid the many reversals required to traverse the complex of lines around Wrocław. As the coaching stock for the tour train is based near Łódź, the tour will start and finish at Łódź Widzew, located on the main line from Warszawa. The main three day section of the tour, in maximum daylight, starts and finishes each day in Wrocław, where there is plenty of hotel accommodation. It should be noted that this is a joint tour with Turkol, allowing us to offer a ticket price for this very comprehensive tour of around £475 for the five days, based on a minimum of 60 bookings. The final price will obviously be dependent on external factors and the numbers booking. For information, the equivalent ticket price for a BLS sole charter would be around £650, a considerably higher amount. Standard Branch Line Society Terms & Conditions (available on our website) apply to all bookings. Based on current regulations, the wearing of face masks will be required whilst on the train. For the three days we will be based in Wrocław, Turkol will sell tickets for "tourist" 3rd Cass 4-wheel coaches which will be added to the train. These tickets will be restricted to Polish nationals only and WILL NOT be valid for the Branch Line Society portion of the train. Bookings from non-Polish nationals will NOT be accepted by Turkol and will be redirected to the BLS booking website. There will be familiar faces to advise and assist if you have not done one of these tours before. Expressions of definite interest by 15 January please to confirm viability and assist with fare setting - the more that go, the cheaper per head it will be - to the tour organiser, Iain Scotchman, email: [email protected] Or by post to: 102, Shenfield Place, Brentwood, CM15 9AJ, with SAE if acknowledgement is required.

  • An Unknown Source Concerning Esaias Reusner Junior from the Music Collection Department of Wroclaw University Library
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 11,2012 © PTPN& Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań 2012 GRZEGORZ JOACHIMIAK Department of Musicology, University of Wroclaw An unknown source concerning Esaias Reusner Junior from the Music Collection Department of Wroclaw University Library ABSTRACT: The Music Collection Department of Wroclaw University Library is in possession of an old print that contains the following inscription: ‘Esaias Reusner | furste Brigischer | Lautenist’. This explicitly indicates the lutenist Esaias Reusner junior (1636-1679), who was born in Lwówek Śląski (Ger. Lówenberg). A comparative analysis of the duct of the handwriting in this inscription and in signatures on letters from 1667 and 1668 shows some convergences between the main elements of the script. However, there are also elements that could exclude the possibility that all the autographs were made by the same person. Consequently, it cannot be confirmed or unequivocally refuted that the inscription is an autograph signature of the lutenist to the court in Brzeg (Ger. Brieg). The old print itself contains a great deal of interesting information, which, in the context of Silesian musical culture of the second half of the seventeenth century and biographical information relating to the lutenist, enable us to become better acquainted with the specific character of this region, including the functioning of music in general, and lute music in particular. The print contains a work by Johann Kessel, a composer and organist from Oleśnica (Ger. Ols), who dedicated it to three brothers of the Piast dynasty: Georg III of Brzeg, Ludwig IV of Legnica and Christian of Legnica. It is a ‘Paean to brotherly unity”, which explains the reference to Psalm 133.

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.
