Marcin Bogdan: Wrocław or Breslau?
date: July 15, 2025 Editor: GKut

In the Internet, information travels by lightning. I don't think there is simply a individual in Poland who would not hear that the Wroclaw Grunwald Bridge is to regain the German name "Kaiserbrücke" ("the Imperial Bridge"), given in honor of Wilhelm II the last king of Prussia and the German emperor.

Grunwaldzki Bridge in Wrocław. Air view from the southwest.

With an equally fast dementi, the tv station promoted the slogan “all the fact around the clock”. TVN24 explained to the appalled Poles that while domes, imperial eagles, Hohenzoller coats, pre-war greyish colour of the bridge structure and the inscription “Kaiser-Brücke” would be restored during the planned renovation of the Grunwald Bridge, it would not be “any”changing the name, only restoring the historical appearanceIt’s okay. ”

It can be expected that there will be signposts on Freedom Square in Wrocław this year Adolf-Hitler-Platz.Of course it won't be any change of name just to recreate the historical appearance of the square. You can anticipate that there will be signs on Piłsudski Street in Wrocław this year. Adolf-Hitler-Straße. Of course, it won't be any change in the street name just to recreate its historical appearance. You can besides anticipate signs with inscriptions to appear on Łąkowa Street this year. Eichbornstraße and the governing Polish and Wrocław Civic Platform will decide that on the building on this street, erstwhile called the Brown House, there will be inscriptions commemorating the first name of the organization or NSDAP and commemorating its office for the Silesian district. Gau Schlesien. Of course, it will not be any change of street name or organization name just to recreate the historical appearance. due to the fact that young people are the future of the nation this year, there will most likely be signposted signs on the historical building on the Street of Pokatniczy Street. Hitler Youth. Of course, it will not change the name of youth organizations operating in Wrocław only the restoration of the historical appearance of the city of Breslau.

besides far-reaching guesses? I'm grouching and over-interpreting one, possibly a somewhat controversial decision by a monument conservationist? Let me remind you that a year ago in Wrocław, the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Schlesische Funkstunde radio station was celebrated, which was then converted to Reichssender Breslau station, or “The sender of the ReichIt’s okay. ” 3rd Reich broadcaster. I wrote about it in August last year, and I'm going to mess up a link to this column below. Placing "Kaiserbrücke" on the Grunwald Bridge is not an isolated case. This is simply a consistently implemented policy of the current government. While writing this text, I learned that an exhibition was opened in the Museum of Gdańsk.Our Boys. Residents of Gdansk Pomerania in the 3rd Reich ArmyIt’s okay. ” Our boys or unsere Jungs ........

Time can remind Germans where the border of their country is, time can remind Germans where the limit of unauthorised interference in the interior affairs of Poland is, time can remind Germans where the limit of average human decency is. And volksdeutschom, whether in government or in self-government, should be reminded that they are not “our boys”. So let them go where ihre Mütter, ihre Väter. Let them go where their Heimat is. If we do not do so, if we do not do so now, possibly next year the work to usage German will be announced in Wrocław and Gdańsk. And it will not be a change of the authoritative language, it will be a restoration of the historical way of communicating with the inhabitants.
