Entdeckt Polens spektakul\u00e4re und preisgekr\u00f6nte Architektur!

In den letzten Jahren wurden die urbanen Strukturen des ganzen Landes gr\u00fcndlich modernisiert und weiterentwickelt. Weltweit anerkannte Architekten wie Norman Foster, Helmut Jahn und der in Polen geborene Daniel Liebeskind haben das Warschau von heute gestaltet. Auch einheimische Architekten haben einige der spannendsten modernen Geb\u00e4ude Europas entworfen.

Im Wortsinne ausgezeichnete Beispiele f\u00fcr herausragende zeitgen\u00f6ssische Projekte sind die Mieczys\u0142aw-Kar\u0142owicz-Philharmonie in Szczecin, das Schlesische Museum in Katowice, das POLIN-Museum f\u00fcr die Geschichte der polnischen Juden in Warschau, das Europ\u00e4ische Solidarno\u015b\u0107-Zentrum in Gda\u0144sk und das Nationalmuseum in Szczecin, das 2016 beim World Architecture Festival mit dem Titel \u201eWorld Building of the Year\u201c ausgezeichnet wurde.<\/p>\n

<\/a>#DiscoverPoland 2 \/ Musik<\/strong>

Entdeckt Polens reiches musikalisches Erbe und seine zahlreichen Komponisten von Weltrang!

Wusstet ihr, dass die Polonaise urspr\u00fcnglich aus Polen stammt? Die Bezeichung \u201ealla polacca\u201c auf einem Notenblatt zeigt an, dass das St\u00fcck mit dem Charakter und Rhythmus dieses Tanzes gespielt werden sollte.
Die traditionelle Musik Polens beruft sich auf Volksweisen, welche f\u00fcr die Auff\u00fchrungen in Adelsh\u00e4usern adaptiert wurden und sp\u00e4ter auf die Konzertb\u00fchnen gelangten. Der bekannteste polnische Komponist aller Zeiten Fryderyk Chopin nutzte volkst\u00fcmliche Melodien aus Polen als Grundlage f\u00fcr seine komplexen Klavierkompositionen. Er brachte die polnische Musik in die Salons der ganzen Welt und richtete ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf sie.

Weitere bedeutende polnische Komponisten waren Stanis\u0142aw Moniuszko und Ignacy Jan Paderewski sowie die zeitgen\u00f6ssischen Tonsetzer Witold Lutos\u0142awski, Henryk Miko\u0142aj G\u00f3recki und Krzysztof Penderecki.<\/p>\n

Entdeckt Polens reiche Natur und sein vielf\u00e4ltiges Tierleben!

In Polen gibt es 23 Nationalparks, der gr\u00f6\u00dfte von ihnen ist der Biebrza-Nationalpark im Nordosten des Landes. Er ist mit \u00fcber 270 Vogelarten (darunter viele seltene Wasser- und Feuchtgebietsv\u00f6gel) eines von Europas gr\u00f6\u00dften Siedlungsgebieten f\u00fcr Wildtiere. 48 S\u00e4ugetierarten sind hier zu Hause, darunter Polens gr\u00f6\u00dfte Population von Elchen, und \u00fcber 1.000 Pflanzenarten.

<\/a>#DiscoverPoland 7 \/ K\u00fcche<\/strong>

Entdeckt Polens schmackhafte K\u00fcche und seine regionalen Spezialit\u00e4ten!

Die polnische K\u00fcche ist das Resultat einer Jahrhunderte langen Entwicklung und wurde von der bewegten Geschichte des Landes, seinen zahlreichen Grenzverschiebungen und einem relativ rauen Klima beeinflusst. Diese Zutaten schafften die typisch polnische Mischung slawischer Aromen und internationaler Einfl\u00fcsse.

Die polnische Landwirtschaft ist ertragreich und liefert in gro\u00dfen Mengen Gerste und Buchweizen. Die endlosen W\u00e4lder versorgen die Einwohner k\u00f6rbeweise mit Beeren, Kr\u00e4utern, Pilzen und Honig, welche regelm\u00e4\u00dfig den Weg auf polnische Esstische finden. Die traditionelle polnische K\u00fcche ist ber\u00fchmt f\u00fcr ihre unverwechselbaren Suppen, gef\u00fcllte Piroggen, J\u00e4gereintopf sowie Wild- und Fischgerichte.

Das Land verf\u00fcgt insgesamt \u00fcber 43 EU-gesch\u00fctzte regionale Spezialit\u00e4ten. Dazu geh\u00f6ren diverse K\u00e4se- und Wurstsorten, Geb\u00e4ck, Honig und spezielle Bohnen-, Apfel- und Erdbeersorten.

<\/a>#DiscoverPoland 8 \/ \u00d6lindustrie<\/strong>

Entdeckt Polens revolution\u00e4re Erfindungen und die Anf\u00e4nge der \u00d6lindustrie!

Wusstet ihr, dass die erste F\u00f6rdereinrichtung und Raffinerie f\u00fcr Roh\u00f6l in Polen errichtet wurden? 1854 wurden sie in B\u00f3brka in der N\u00e4he von Krosno er\u00f6ffnet. Initiator war der Pharmazeut und Chemiker Ignacy \u0141ukaszewicz, der bei der Destillation und Verwendung von Roh\u00f6l Pionierarbeit leistete. \u0141ukaszewicz erfand die Kerosinlampe, welche 1853 erstmals das Fenster seiner Apotheke in Lw\u00f3w (Lemberg) erleuchtete. Diese Lampe spendete er dem OP-Saal im \u00f6rtlichen Krankenhaus, damit bei Notf\u00e4llen auch nachts Operationen durchgef\u00fchrt werden konnten. Der 31. Juli 1853, als der erste n\u00e4chtliche Eingriff stattfand, gilt somit als Beginn der \u00d6l- und Gasindustrie nicht nur in Polen, sondern weltweit.

Die Lampe, welche acht bis zehn Wachskerzen ersetzte, revolutionierte schnell die Technologie k\u00fcnstlicher Beleuchtungen und setzte sich in einem reichlichen Jahrzehnt auf der ganzen Welt durch.

Zu Beginn des 20. Jh. stand Polen unter den Petroleum-Produzenten weltweit an dritter Stelle nach den USA und Russland.

Die \u00d6lf\u00f6rdereinrichtung in B\u00f3brka ist bis heute in Betrieb und das gro\u00dfe Geb\u00e4ude, von dem aus \u0141ukaszewicz sein \u00d6l-Imperium dirigierte, beherbergt heute ein Museum f\u00fcr die Gas- und \u00d6lindustrie.

In Polen gibt es derzeit 16 UNESCO-Welterbest\u00e4tten, von denen 15 \u2013 darunter die Marienburg in Malbork und die historischen Innenst\u00e4dte von Krak\u00f3w, Toru\u0144, Warschau und Zamo\u015b\u0107 zum Kulturerbe z\u00e4hlen und eine St\u00e4tte zum Naturerbe: der Urwald von Bia\u0142owie\u017ca.<\/p>\n

Dieser Urwald liegt an der Grenze von Polen und Belarus und ist ein letztes \u00dcberbleibsel des Urwalds, der sich einst quer durch ganz Europa erstreckte, von der Atlantikk\u00fcste bis zum Ural. Gro\u00dfe Teile blieben Jahrhunderte lang unber\u00fchrt, so dass sich dort eine au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnliche Flora und Fauna ansiedeln konnten. 25 % der europ\u00e4ischen Wisent-Population \u2013 Europas gr\u00f6\u00dftes S\u00e4ugetier \u2013 leben hier und viele weitere bedrohte Arten.

In der heraufziehenden Sommerhitze ist das Salzbergwerk von Wieliczka nahe Krak\u00f3w eine der coolsten UNESCO-Welterbest\u00e4tten: Man kann 820 Stufen hinab steigen und taucht in eine Welt, wo konstant 14\u201316 \u00b0C herrschen.

Information in English 🇬🇧:<\/strong>

The geometrical center of Europe is located near Poland\u2019s capital, Warsaw. Throughout its history, Poland has gone from a major European power, through lost independence to re-emergence as a regional economic pioneer of Central and Eastern Europe. Polish enthusiasm, creativity and entrepreneurship are widely known across the world today. Thanks to our determination, Solidarity, and the spiritual guidance of Saint Pope John Paul II, after almost 50 years of communism, Poland broke free from foreign political control and economic influence, and set on a path to freedom in 1989. It is now a country whose rich customs and traditions attract millions of tourists from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Arts and culture have for centuries been strengthening the Polish national identity and helped Poles survive the worst moments in history. Polish musicians have and continue to inspire the world. Poland is the birthplace of one of the greatest composers and pianists Fryderyk Chopin, and one of the world\u2019s most important music competitions dedicated to his music \u2013 The Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition has been held in Warsaw every five years since 1927. Other famous composers include Stanis\u0142aw Moniuszko, Ignacy Paderewski, Witold Lutos\u0142awski, Miko\u0142aj G\u00f3recki and Krzysztof Penderecki, a four-time Grammy Award winner. Explore Penderecki\u2019s Digital Garden inspired by his music! Stanis\u0142aw Moniuszko, who whose 200th birth anniversary was celebrated in 2019, is considered the father of Polish opera. Nowadays Performances by the Polish National Opera are staged worldwide while Polish singers such as Aleksandra Kurzak, Piotr Becza\u0142a and Jakub J\u00f3zef Orli\u0144ski perform in the world\u2019s major opera houses, from New York\u2019s Metropolitan Opera through London\u2019s Royal Opera House to Milan\u2019s La Scala.<\/p>\n

Poland is home to Nobel Prize laureates and Oscar winners. Thanks to the winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Henryk Sienkiewicz, W\u0142adys\u0142aw Reymont, Czes\u0142aw Mi\u0142osz, Wis\u0142awa Szymborska and Olga Tokarczuk, Poland has been enjoying a reputation as the land of poets and writers. Joseph Conrad, Stanis\u0142aw Lem and Ryszard Kapu\u015bci\u0144ski also made their names abroad. The Polish language, which is actively used by about 50 million people and by at least 10 million who have a passive knowledge of it, is an important element of the Polish literary tradition.<\/p>\n

Polish was the language of Andrzej Wajda\u2019s films, for which he received prestigious awards, including the Honorary Oscar for his lifetime achievements. Polish filmmakers excel at home but also make an impact abroad. Internationally recognized Polish film directors include Krzysztof Kie\u015blowski, Agnieszka Holland, Roman Pola\u0144ski and Pawe\u0142 Pawlikowski awarded an Oscar for \u201cIda\u201d in 2015. Poland is also renowned for its numerous directors of photography who were involved in the making of some of Hollywood\u2019s top productions. An important place for Polish cinema is the internationally recognized National Film, Television and Theatre School in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, which produced some of Poland\u2019s greatest cinematographic talents.<\/p>\n

In the pre-war period, Poland was one of the most dynamic centres of avant-garde art in Europe, with artists such as W\u0142adys\u0142aw Strzemi\u0144ski, Katarzyna Kobro, Henryk Sta\u017cewski and Henryk Berlewi. After the second world war, one of the first artists of the new avant-garde was the internationally acclaimed painter and theatre director Tadeusz Kantor. Today, big Polish names in the contemporary art market include Zbigniew Libera, Miros\u0142aw Ba\u0142ka, Pawe\u0142 Althamer, Wilhelm Sasnal, Katarzyna Kozyra and others. The richest collection of Polish avant-garde art is in the National Museums in Warsaw and Krak\u00f3w.<\/p>\n

Posters of the Polish School of Posters significantly influenced the international development of graphic design in poster art. Their major contribution is due to their use of the power of suggestion through clever allusions. Using strong and vivid colors typical for folk art, they combine printed slogans, often hand-lettered, with popular symbols, to create a concise inventive metaphor. Prominent contributors included Henryk Tomaszewski, Jan Lenica, Jan M\u0142odo\u017ceniec and Waldemar \u015awie\u017cy. The Poster Museum in Warsaw houses the largest collection of art posters in the world.<\/p>\n

Poland is a country of people with ideas. Poles take pride in their scientists whose important discoveries and inventions changed the world. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), the famous astronomer, who formulated the heliocentric theory, according to which the Earth revolves around the Sun, and not the other way round, was born in Toru\u0144. Maria Sk\u0142odowska-Curie, a native of Warsaw, is considered to have been the most important researcher of all time, and has remained until this day the only woman to have been awarded the Nobel Prize twice (in 1903 and 1911), and the only scientist honored in two separate fields of science. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize for chemistry, for having discovered polonium and radium, the first woman to have been appointed professor at the Sorbonne University of Paris, and the first woman to have been honoured a full member of the French Medical Academy. Jan Czochralski, a Polish physicist, invented the method of growing single-crystals, which proved to be the basis of modern electronics. Single-crystal silicon obtained through this method helped create semiconductor devices. Thanks to them, we do our work using computers, tablets, mobile phones, digital cameras, mp3 players and other electronic devices. The first crude oil mine worldwide was opened in Poland. It was established in 1854 by Ignacy \u0141ukasiewicz, pharmacist and chemist, in B\u00f3brka near Krosno. A year before, \u0141ukasiewicz gave a hospital in Lviv a prototype paraffin lamp he had developed to assist with emergency surgeries. This is thought to be the first case of an oil-based product being sold. The mine is still in operation, and within its premises there is a monumental administrative building from which \u0141ukasiewicz managed the process of oil extraction, as well as a Museum of the Oil and Gas Industry. Three brilliant Polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Jerzy R\u00f3\u017cycki and Henryk Zygalski broke the codes of the Enigma, the most infamous German cipher machine, thus contributing to Allied victory in World War II.<\/p>\n

Located between the Baltic Sea and the Masurian lake district in the north and the mountain ranges in the south, with extensive lowlands in the centre, Poland is an great tourist destination. Boasting 23 national parks, 145 landscape parks and 1,500 nature reserves, Poland is a perfect spot for active recreation, including hiking, cycling, rafting, river and lake canoeing, sailing, surfing and horse-riding. It also makes for a great place to observe rare species of birds in their natural habitat.<\/p>\n

For those who love traditional food, Poland offers a huge variety of products to delight their palate. The country has a total of 43 regional specialties which are protected under EU law. The list includes several varieties of cheese and sausage, as well as regional pastries, specially grown beans, honeys, apples and strawberries. Thanks to regional variations and specialties, as well as the heritage of its nobility, Poland has a rich food culture. In the south, where the climate is rougher, the food is based on simple, filling dishes. In Ma\u0142opolska, you can feel the Austrian influence, and in Podlasie \u2013 culinary traditions and flavours from its eastern neighbours. Thanks to the access to the sea, northern Poland is rich in fish dishes of many different forms. Mazowsze, with Warsaw at its heart, is known for its Old Polish cuisine.<\/p>\n

Poland has several large cities which are the economic backbone of the country. They are a diverse set with varying histories, but they all offer a wide array of business opportunities and cultural activities. Take for instance Wroc\u0142aw, referred to sometimes as the Venice of the north, Szczecin, or Paris on the Oder, Zamo\u015b\u0107, which was established almost 500 years ago, Krakow, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a \u2013 the city of film, and Katowice \u2013 the city of music.<\/p>\n

Poland boasts 17 objects on the UNESCO World Remembrance List. Each of the documents and collections is a separate chapter in the history of Poland. For example, the the famous 21 Gda\u0144sk Demands written on wooden plywood. Symbolically, it is the most important \u201cdocument\u201d from the August 1980 events that played a huge part not only for regaining freedom in Poland, but also on an international scale: as part of the process of overthrowing communism throughout Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Poland has also sixteen unique places on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The first sites \u2013 Krak\u00f3w and Wieliczka \u2013 were included in 1978, and the newest site \u2013 Krzemionki Prehistoric Striped Flint Mining Region \u2013 in 2019.<\/p>\n

Tourists are attracted to Poland by countless cultural events that include festivals of music, film and theater and hosted by Polish cities, some of them famous for their award winning architecture. Like the beautiful M. Kar\u0142owicz\u2019s Philharmonic in Szczecin, awarded the prestigious 2015 Mies van der Rohe Award, or the National Museum in Szczecin \u2013 the Dialogue Centre Upheavals, which was named the World Building of the Year in 2016 at the World Architecture Festival in Berlin. Other outstanding public buildings representing world-class architecture in Poland include the Shakespearean Theatre, the European Solidarity Centre and the Museum of World War II, all three in Gda\u0144sk, the Silesian Museum in Katowice built on the site of a former coal mine, the seat of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, and the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lus\u0142awice, Cricoteca (Tadeusz Kantor Museum) in Krakow, the Warsaw Rising Museum and the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.<\/p>\n

Visiting these unique cultural landmarks gives an insight into the complex history of Poland and at times into the tragic fate of its people, especially related to the experience of World War II. Poland has been the guardian of memory, protecting the Jewish heritage lost during World War II by supporting the development of the contemporary culture of the Jewish minority in Poland. A flagging example of that support is, among others, the Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow which, for more than 30 years, has been the most spectacular interdisciplinary festival of its kind in the world and is visited every year by tens of thousands of tourists.<\/p>\n

Poland also attracts music lovers, theater-goers and film buffs. It is a real treat meeting the greatest contemporary music creators and best musicians during the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music, Wratislavia Cantans, Chopin and his Europe, Actus Humanus or Sacrum Profanum. You can meet movie stars and world-renowned cinematographers at the EnergaCAMERIMAGE festival in Toru\u0144, or independent artists from all around during the New Horizons International Film Festival in Wroc\u0142aw, which presents artistic, visionary and experimental cinema. And there are many more interesting festivals held in Poland.<\/p>\n

Poland welcomes the youngest visitors with many attractions. European Fairytale Capital is in Pacan\u00f3w, Poland! The modern facility resembling sand pies is a magic place where you can meet the Little Prince, see the pea that meant a sleepless night, and set off on a journey by train which goes through the Mouse Hole and \u2026 flies into space! Apart from Polish fairytale heroes like Mato\u0142ek the Billy-goat, who discovered a Fairytale Land in Pacan\u00f3w, children may enjoy the Bedtime Cartoons Museum in Rzesz\u00f3w and watch Polish animation for children. Poles love science centers which allow youngsters experience science through experiment. There are several across Poland like: Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw, Science and Technology Centre EC1 in Lodz, Experyment Science Centre in Gdynia, Hewelianum Center in Gda\u0144sk, Mill of Knowledge Innovation Center in Torun, Garden of Experiments in Cracow or Water Knowledge Center Hydropolis in Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
