Lwow in Wroclaw

Before WWII Wroclaw was the German city of Breslau.

After the Second World War Poland's borders changed, and the territory of Poland in general "moved" westwards.
Many of the Poles who had earlier lived in Lwow (Lemberg, now Lviv) and other places that became the Soviet Union, moved westwards.
Many settled in areas the German citizens had left because Germany's new borders were further west.

So for this reason, Wroclaw became the home of many Polish citizens who once lived in Lwow.

My main interest for my one day visit to Wroclaw was to see two attractions that had once been in Lwow and were now displayed in Wroclaw.

Unfortunately, one of these attractions, a model of the city of Lwow, as it looked in the mid-18th century, was closed down, so I never got to see that.

That model was made by Lwow architect and art historian Janusz Witwicki and is the size of 4 meter X 3.6 meter.
It was built during the years 1931 to 1946. The story around it, is as interesting as the model itself.

I hope I will be able to see it on some other occassion.
