Zabrze - City Tour

Zabrze is a young town – it received its town charter only in 1922 – and it grew thanks to the mining of black gold, that is hard coal. Its centre has preserved, among other things, the neo-Gothic Main Post Office, the former Admiralspalast hotel, the “Roma” cinema of 1912, an Art Nouveau water tower and the neo-Romanesque church of St Anne.

We prepared a walking tour of old Zabrze, from the railway station to Wolności Street. The route passes, among others, the unique Coal Mining Museum, and the narrator tells the story of the “Queen Louise” mine, the “Guido” Mining Heritage Park, the Donnersmarck family and the days when the town was called Hindenburg. The audio guide is available in Polish.
