WROCLAW, POLANDWroclaw, on the Oder River, is a railway centre and a river port. Wroclaw was probably a Slavic settlement when it was made an Episcopal see subordinate to the archbishop of gnienzo around 100. It became the capital of the duchy of Slesia in 1163. Sacked by the Mongols in 1241, the city was rebuilt by German settlers and developed as a trade centre. Wroclaw was badly damaged during a Soviet siege in World War II. After 1945, the German inhabitants were expelled and replaced by the Poles. Historic buildings include a 13th century cathedral, several Gothic churches, and a Gothic town hall that houses a historical museum. A University was founded there in 1811. |
