Wrocław is a weird place in terms of influences. It was originally a Polish city in the middle ages. Then it got robbed and burned during the Tatar invasion. Then the Polish king started inviting the German settlers here to repopulate the city. They basically built a new city, on the ruins of the old one. Then the area with Wrocław was sold to Chechia and later became part of Prussia (~Germany).
So since the middle ages up until WWII Wrocław was basically a German city with Polish history. But after WWII the borders changed again and this area became part of Poland again.
At that time 60% of Wrocław was in ruins so the Poles had to rebuild it, but they were purposefully trying to base the new architecture on the old Polish style, to make it feel less German. Plenty of people who came to inhabit Wrocław have been relocated from the Lwów area (then Poland, now Ukraine). So they also brought some influences from that region. And the rebuilts were happening under the Soviet rule so of course there's also a lot of the typical Soviet architecture.
It's like the history of the city has come full circle.
point was not "invitation" but fact that Łokietek did not manage to get Silesia back after fragmentation of the Realm even if Silesian dukes were from Piast dynasty.
Lviv is similar because it was polish city since 1387 to 1772, later on again polish since 1918 . So you can find similarities everywhere in poland because , poland is and was on the crossroads of cultures from west and east. Additional thing, Poland was huge country reaching smolensk, tallinn, kiev and many other places, so there was strong polish influence in this region as well.
So many cultures here was exchanging styles of architecture among themselves, that's why every polish city and other countries in central europe looks familiar somehow but in the same time so different.
So don't be surprise by Gdansk or Poznan or even Lublin if you will find something familiar again :)
Some similarities between Wroclaw and Lwów can be derived from the common history of these cities. After WW2 when Poland lost Lwów, yet gained Wroclaw, the elites from Lwów University were moved to Wroclaw to set university here. Wroclaw (or back then actually Breslau as that’s how Germans called it) was fortified during WW2 and hence mostly destroyed. Therefore, I believe, the influence of Germans (not everything was destroyed) and eastern Poland (Lwów etc) can be found (since the elites that were moved probably influenced greatly the style of Wroclaw while it was being rebuilt.
big Korean population is there due to all the Korean business facilities located in the area, there is a Korean business hub around Wroclaw, you can fly directly to Seul from Wroclaw
Gdansk is definately worth visiting. It's my favourite city in Poland
Will be going there too
@@WheresWes Try to visit Hel peninsula very close Gdansk, places like Jurata. Best natural sandy beaches in Poland, no hotels on beach, just forest, nature and fresh breeze from Baltic Sea. You can catch a train from Gdynia, sister city to Gdańsk.
I’m moving to Poland next weekend!
Are you coming from a non-EU country? How hard was the process of being able to move there? Also how do you like it there??
@@thadashley2911 it’s a long process. But the country is perfect! Everything is nice and respectful and the country is clean and very safe! Food is crazy good so many varieties. I think the bigger cities are where everyone is going. I’m not there but will visit soon.
@@curtishawkins717 That's great to hear! I want to move and get out of the US so badly. Glad to see the country lived up to its reputation for you.
@@thadashley2911 for sure man keep at it! Took me 10 years I never gave up!
Really great vlog Wes! I did also pronounce Wro Claw in the English way too! My Gf and I also like Wroclaw more and the small sushi shop before the river bridge is really good! - Somehow Califonia rolls in Poland are really good standard! I heard the Korean population our age do IT here - as I have been mistaken it! I also seen a Japanese garden in Gdansk, Oliwski Park- Very clean- defo worth a visit! Look forward watching your next video!
Hah probably my kieds were playing near this fountain when you have recorded it :D
Great video 🎉 subscribed and going to watch all of them
The reason Wroclaw feels like a combo of Lviv and Germany is because Wroclaw used to be German and Lviv used to be Polish.
03:50 - this type of building is called "Kamienica" in polish. Wrocław spent centuries under polish, czech, austrian and german rule respectively, and it certainly shows in it's architecture.
Excellent video, great content. Very interesting, hola from Madrid
Saludos parcero
You should definitely visit the Tricity "Trójmiasto" during the summer.
great vlog
After WW2 most of the Lwów's polish population was deported to the Wrocław. That's why it may be influenced by that. Also Germans were deported from Wrocław in that time.
Oh, that's a good point! It's like Lwów has the remanants of Poland in it while Wrocław has the vibe that Lwowians (no idea how they should be called) brought. I also thought that it might be because most of Wrocław was destroyed so it had to be rebuilt under the Soviet rule and obviously with some Soviet influences- that are very tangible in Lwów as well.
Thanks for the video! Wroclaw has quite lots of Korean companies such as LG and LG's partner companies. That's why there are many Korean people. That city has Korean school as well for those Korean people's chlidren.
Hurry up with visiting Gdansk. July is a peak season - try to visit in July in the weekend - it should be fun then! Gdansk is connected with 2 other great spots: Sopot and Gdynia. We call it tri - city (these 3 cities connected with each others). Sopot is a must visit!! Main Street in Sopot „Monte Cassino street” full of restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs. Down the street there is a cool beach and pier. Saturday during the summertime is the best day to spend in Sopot - many locals and tourists hit on Sopot that time and it’s intensive, full of life, fun! I live in Gdansk so I know what I’m saying. Enjoy.
You should visit toruń
it's not often that I can see my company office building on yt video but here it is
there is the diffrence beetwen eastern and western poland. Eastern one looks more like ukraine in case of architecture (and sometimes pepole). And the western one more like wetern europe. Pepole also say that the western part is way more richer and developed, but im not sure if thats true. I personnally like western part more beacose i grew up in it and i like the western architecture more.
Hey buddy! How did you manage to stay longer than 90 days?
Hey I would highly recommend you Split, Croatia for summer vacation. One of the most beautiful cities in Europe
Blown away by Wrocław? Quite rightly so, it's beautiful. But wait till you see Gdańsk and Sopot :-)
❤moje miasto Wrocław 🇵🇱
Are you planning on going to Warsaw at some point in the future?
End of the month!
@@WheresWesI found the food scene in Wroclaw is better than Warsaw-at least for the Asian food!
Every Major Polish city have a different vibe. Gdansk for example will feel more Dutch/Northern German. Warsaw will feel more like a mix between Poland and America. Lublin will have an Eastern Feel to it, Poznan is a mix of Polish and German.
You said Wrocław was a German city. Ok, it was, but have you ever seen Wrocław just right after the WWII? Who rebuilt the city? Germans? No? :|
Sorry for my ignorance, but I didn't see your vids about Lviv/Ukraine (tried to find it, but cos lack of time I haven't). Did you mentioned there that was a Polish city?
take it easy dude, German past of Wrocław is part of the Wrocław's definition. In terms of XIX century architecture Wrocław looks like Berlin. Actually Wrocław played at least once Berlin in a movie.
1. All cities in central-east Europe: Poland , Czechoslovakia , Hungary , Transylvania , Baltics in middle ages untill middle 1800's were mostly German.
2. Wroclaw was establish by Czech king Vratislaw ( Wroclaw get name after him ) , in 990 became part of Poland , in 1340 became part of Czech again. Then Czechia and Wroclaw became part of Habsburg Austria. In 1744 Prussia grabbed Wroclaw from Austria and in1871 Wroclaw became a part of German Empire untill 1945.
"big spire that looks like a wafer cookie" - that's it. From this point forward I am calling all industrial chimneys "wafer spires".
To make things funnier, Japan was the only country against which Poland declared war in the 20th century - on December 11, 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor and Great Britain's declaration of support for the USA. However, Japan did not accept the war declaration (before World War II, both countries were friends as anti-Russian), formally the "war" lasted until 1957, when peace was signed and diplomatic relations were re-established. During this "war" there were no direct clashes between Polish and Japanese military formations, individual Polish soldiers, such as pilot Witold Urbanowicz, hero of the Battle of Britain, took part in the fighting, but as part of American or British units.
Nothing to be proud of British battle, poles were cheap shield meat like always nation of losers 😂
Warsaw next?
Yup coming next week
@@WheresWes Visit towarowa 22 in Warsaw...........
After II world war, Wrocław (Breslau) was left by Germans i populated by Poles, deported form east part of Polend incorporated to Soviet Union, a lot of them was form polish before war Lwów :). So todays Wrocław is real child of german Breslau and polish Lwów. But at first is old Silesian city with rich an multicultural history.
Lwów na zawsze Polski! A Wrocław tak samo z resztą jak Berlin założyli Słowianie 😊
czyli chcesz aby Berlin sobie wzięli Łużyczanie?
whos the girl, we want to see!
she doesn't want to be on camera.
Did you feel like in Ukraine? It is estimated that over 80,000 Ukrainians live in Wroclaw due to the war. It is also the city with the largest number of Koreans in Poland. Interesting mix. 😎 Great trip!
The city isn't dirty and has a genuinely amazing atmosphere..why would he ever feel like in Ukraine?? Lmao
@@ronin36963 you can't hear rockets flying over your head, either. Definitely not like Ukraine
@@leno_o17 even before the war, without rockets flying over your head.
Ukraine is also very clean and safe, separate from the war of course @@ronin36963
@@WheresWes lol, not where I've been. Garbage everywhere, crazy amounts of stray dogs, and food was poor yet expensive.
You can’t get anything good and value for free
At Fukudenkai, Japan rescued 760 Polish orphans during 1920-21 Soviet-Polish war. Japan is awesome
Hate Airbnb, with a passion. Taking away nice apartments and bringing up prices for buying property 🤬 Wrocław is beautiful city though, let's hope they follow Barcelona and get rid of them.
Polish airbnb prices are absurd 😂 cost like New York lmao freaking expensive for some communism standard
@@kurrwa dude, have you ever been in New York 😂. It's not even close
Hala Stulecia is a UNESCO world.heritage site. One of 14 in Poland
