Chorzów - City Tour

Chorzów intrigues with its complex history, which has room both for the village of Chorzów, founded in the Middle Ages, and for the 19th-century Królewska Huta, which grew thanks to Friedrich Wilhelm von Reden. The city has borne its present name since 1934, and its centre is graced by Art Nouveau tenement houses, modernist buildings and the neo-Gothic Main Post Office.

We prepared a walk during which we stroll along the stately “Wolka”, or Wolności Street, see an interwar skyscraper and Steelworkers' Park, and greet Friedrich von Reden, who did so much for Silesian industry, at his monument.

The Polish-language recordings were produced as part of the Silesian Tourist Information System.
