Breslau, a city rich in history and culture, is located in the heart of Poland. Its picturesque Rynek (Market Square) and the magnificent Old Town Hall are iconic landmarks that transport visitors back in time. The Ostrow Tumski district, also known as Cathedral Island, offers a serene escape with its stunning views of the Oder river. Once part of Silesia, Germany, it has witnessed significant changes throughout its existence. A glimpse into its past can be seen through historical artifacts like the Wroclaw city map from 1895 or the captivating view of Golden Horn with Breslau and Hamidie during World War I. The Tomb of Duke Henry IV stands proudly within the Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and St Bartholomew - a testament to German medieval art's beauty. Restored reproductions allow us to appreciate this masterpiece from centuries ago. The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument serves as another reminder of Breslau's German heritage. This historic monument was captured in a photochrome print from the 1890s - showcasing its grandeur for generations to come. Religious architecture holds great significance in Breslau's history. The Church of Brelau stands tall as an architectural gem that reflects both Germany's influence and Poland's present identity. During World War I, SMS Breslau played an important role when it was renamed Midilli for service in the Ottoman Fleet - highlighting international connections even during times of conflict. Art enthusiasts will appreciate Ernest Moritz Geyger's Bear Fountain (1902), which adds charm to Breslau's streetscape with its whimsical design. Lastly, HMS Gloucester reminds us that Great War deeds were not limited to land battles alone; naval forces also played their part on distant shores.
