In post-1945 Poland, the re-urbanisation of heavily destroyed cities was tackled head-on by the communist regime. Of particularly unique circumstance were areas of a pre-war German nationality, then incorporated within borders of its Eastern neighbours. This was the case for the city of Wroclaw [former Breslau]. The presentation focuses on one of the Wroclaw Old Town’s newest markets, Nowy Targ Square [formerly Neumarkt] and provide a critical assessment of its documents and records, tracking its redevelopment in the postwar era and bearing witness to the conflicted postwar dynamic of this its region.The following licence files are associated with this item:
