About Lodz

Lodz is the third-largest city in Poland. Located in the central part of the country. The Museum of the Factory is a place where you can discover the history of textile factory founded by Izrael Poznański in mid 19th century. In the times of its past glory the factory produced million of metres of cotton material. Plac Wolnosci or Freedom Square stands at one end of ulica Piotrkowska. Though it is called a square it is actually in the shape of an octagon. In the middle is a large roundabout with a statue of the freedom fighter Tadeusz Kosciuszko. At the top of Park Staromiejski stands a statue called the Ten Commandments. It stands in a purpose built walled area looking down on Lodz. It was presented to the City of Lodz in 1995 to commemorate the Jews of Poland and is by the artist Gustaw Zemla. The Old Market Square is the oldest square in Lodz and dates back to medieval times. I have seen some old photographs from 100 years ago when this was the centre of the Jewish District with market stalls around the square. Demolition started of the area during and after WW2 and the building facades received a Social-Realist look. Alexander Nevsky 1220 - 1263 was a Russian who defended the country against a number of surrounding countries and saved the country against invasion. He was later canonised by the Eastern Orthodox Church. Manhattan for the obvious reason. It has a number of high rise buildings two of which are 78 metres in height. Built during the communist era in the 1980s they are different design to the normal grey blocks of flats that you normally see in Poland. The Museum of the Traditions of Independence in Lodz is housed in the former prison on Dluga and Gdanska Streets. The prison was opened in 1885 and closed in 1953. During most of its time as a prison it housed political prisoners. Charles Anstadta was a German who built a brewery in Lodz. The family bought land around the brewery and the park was originally owned by his 3 sons. The park was named after Charles Jnr's wife who was called Helen Louise Helenów. park's origin is from the beginning of the 20th century and it was located in an ancient forest, originally it was further north. During World War 1 because of a shortage of food the park was dug up and vegetables grown. In 1938 a statue of Stanislaw Moniuszko was put up on one of the main paths but it was destroyed by the Nazis during World War 2 and the park was closed to Poles and Jews. The first cloth was spun here in1852 and this large complex was developed by Israel Poznanski. It reached its present size in 1910 when over 6,000 people were employed weaving cotton. As mirrored by mill towns in Lancashire, the mill went into declined after world war two. The red brick Radogoszcz Prison started life in the 1930s as a factory complex. It ended up in the hands of the German Army after the fall of Poland and became a barracks, before being turned into a transit camp. As the war went on, it gradually changed into a more sinister prison, with over 40,000 passing through it.
