The opinion deals with a government bill governing the issue of found property. It relates to the rights and obligations of the founder, the reception and storage of found property, including money, securities and valuables, as well as things of historic, scientific or artistic value. The proposed bill would cover all movables, including antiquities (monuments), but excluding archaeological monuments. According to the author, the bill raises doubts, both substantive and formal. He presents a number of editorial corrections.

Historical residential complexes containing castles, mansions, palaces, parks and farms, are an important part of the cultural heritage of Lower Silesia. It is a big collection diversified in terms of historical and aesthetical values. Despite this, after 1945 they were not covered by a special protection and were subject to a number of factors adversely affecting their state of preservation. This was especially true of undeveloped buildings and of those lacking responsible owners. The biggest damage done in historical objects was the result of human activities, which consisted of both intentional devastation and failure to carry out adequate repair and renovation in accordance with the principles of conservation. The destruction of monuments was intensified by the atmospheric phenomena such as rain, high winds, high temperatures, frost, floods and fire.

Small towns with urbanistic historical simple layout and preserved medieval spatial arrangements represent an integral part of town network of the Lodz voivodeship (just under 16 % of all towns and 33% of all small towns of up to 10 thousand inhabitants). In these towns there are numerous historic buildings which form cultural value not only on a local but also regional scale. There are different forms of protection of cultural heritage they shape. One form of direct protection of their value includes planning provisions which define functions of these buildings. It should be defined as part of spatial policy which forms of use of buildings are best for preserving and increasing the quality of monuments. In the course of research the following areas have been investigated: age, state of preservation, protection type, ownership relations and, above all, forms of use in relation to historic buildings. This research is aimed at identifying optimal, from the point of view of preservation of these buildings, planning provisions shaping the areas of their location. The research has established that services contribute the most to preserva-tion of historic buildings. The effect is a more detailed analysis of types of services and the impact they have on the state of monument preservation.

Małe miasta o urbanistycznym historycznym układzie prostym z zachowanymi średniowiecznymi układami przestrzennymi stanowią istotną część sieci miast woje wództwa łódzkiego (niespełna 16 % wszystkich miast i 33% wszystkich małych miast do 10 tys. mieszkańców). Znajdują się w nich liczne budynki zabytkowe, które tworzą wartość kulturową nie tylko w skali lokalnej, ale także regionalnej. Istnieją różne formy ochrony kształtowanego przez nie dziedzictwa kulturowego. Jedną z form pośredniej ochrony ich wartości są zapisy planistyczne określających funkcje tych obiektów. W ramach prowadzenia polityki pr zestrzennej należy zdefiniować, jakie formy użytkowania obiektów najlepiej służą utrzymywaniu i podnoszeniu jakości zabytków. W podjętych badaniach przeanalizowano wiek, stan zachowania, formę ochrony, stosunki własnościowe oraz przede wszystkim formę użyt kowania budynków zabytkowych. Badania te mają na celu identyfikację optymalnych, z punktu widzenia utrzymania tych obiektów, zapisów planistycznych kształtujących tereny, na których one występują. W wyniku badań ustalono, iż najbardziej do zachowania obiek tów zabytko - wych przyczyniają się funkcje usługowe. Efektem tego była dokładniejsza analiza rodzajów usług i ich wpływu na stan zachowania zabytków

The text is a translation of the article by Grigory Aleksandrovich Vorobyev Въ столице Галицкой Руси published in 1901 in the 86th volume of “Istorichesky Vestnik”, a historical and literary periodical published in Sankt Petersburg. Vorobyev (1860-1907), collegial councillor in the Płock Governorate, the president of the Military and Police Division of the Łomża Governorate, court councillor and justice of the peace in Ostrołęka, and also a passionate historian and amateur ethnologue, manifested kindness towards the Poles, rarely expressed by Russian officials, and showed interest in Polish history and culture, evident in his numerous publications in Polish and Russian periodicals. In early June 1900 he presumably visited Lviv on the occasion of his participation in the Third Convention of Polish Historians in Kraków. The monuments of Jan III Sobieski and Jan Kiliński, the Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic and Armenian Catholic cathedrals, the chapel of the Boim family, the Jesuit Church and the Dominican Church, the Wallachian Church, the Church of St. Nicholas, the Church of St. Onuphrius, The Orthodox Church of St. Paraskeva, the Monastery of the Order of Saint Basil the Great, the Golden Rose Synagogue, The Market Square, the Stauropegial Institute, the National Ossoliński Institute, The Dzieduszycki Museum, Lychakiv Cemetery, archives and libraries are the monuments which he described in the present article, enhanced by a brief historical note and his impressions of the life of the city.

The article briey describes e Memorial Route to the Struggle and Martyrdom of the Polish Jews 1940–1943 in Warsaw and, a¢er a short presentation of the life and political activities of Szmul Zygielbojm, provides a more detailed account of a memorial place dedicated to him. Situated in the Warsaw district of Muranów by, and partially on, the building at Lewartowskiego 6, it is made up of three components. The first of them, which arrived here as part of e Memorial Route, is a block made of dark grey Polish syenite stone with an inscription in Polish and English that reads: „Szmul Zygielbojm (1895–1945), Bund representative on the National Council of the Polish Government-in-Exile in London. Committed suicide on May 12, 1943, in protest against the passivity of the Allied Governments confronted with the massive destruction of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto”. The second component – a shattered square stone tablet, measuring 2 × 2 metres, symbolising violence and destruction, is placed on the ground, and carries no words. e third – artistically most challenging – is a wall relief measuring 7 × 4 metres, executed in Swedish black granite, positioned on the front wall of the building. It contains the shadows of victims, and stylised ames, while its highly polished surface takes on the reections of passers-by, cars, trees and the facades of neighbouring houses. e tragic past and the present daily life of Warsaw meet here in an unsettling and memorable way. A poignant inscription, in Polish and Yiddish, carries only one sentence from Zygielbojm’s last letter: „I cannot be silent and cannot live while the remnants of the Jewish people perish in Poland”.

The paper presents contemporary tendencies which can be seen in Polish monumental public sculpture of last three decades. They are connected with Polish history and especially new forms of historical policy, presenting problems avoided by official historiography of Poland before 1989. The monumental public sculpture has some features that can be easily noticed, like exaggeration, excess, and weakness of forms, as well as focusing on matters being result of martyrological shape of Polish memory.

Abstract Friedrich Ludwig Jahn’s monuments in Silesia Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778–1852) was a German gymnastics educator commonly known as Turnvater Jahn. In the 19th and 20th centuries there were erected over 300 monuments in honour of him, mostly in Germany, Austria and what was later Czechoslovakia. They usually looked the same: a stone with a commemorative plaque showing Jahn’s bust. The article describes the monuments to Jahn in Silesia. The sources of information about them were mainly old newspapers. In Silesia at least 15 monuments were erected: in Biała (Zülz), Bolesławiec (Bunzlau), Bolków (Bolkenhain), Chojnów (Haynau), Gliwice (Gleiwitz), Jawor (Jauer), Kamienna Góra (Landeshut), Kłodzko (Glatz), Nowa Sól (Neusalz), Prusice (Prausnitz), Strzelin (Strehlen), Syców (Groß Wartenberg), Środa Śląska (Neumarkt), Trzebnica (Trebnitz), Złotoryja (Goldberg). Nearly all of them date back to prior to World War I. Only one was built after this conflict. Most of the monuments were situated in Lower Silesia. Only two were erected in Upper Silesia. Most of Jahn’s monuments in Silesia were destroyed after World War II. At present there is only one monument in Biała (Zülz

The aim of this article is to present aspects of Russian historical policy considering Russian-Latvian disputes over the interpretations of the events of the Second World War, whose symbols are the monuments commemorating Soviet soldiers. The Monument of the Liberators of Riga, standing in the town centre, is the most controversial one. However, other memorials are also problematic. Some politicians and Latvian inhabitants consider them symbols of Soviet occupation, which in extreme cases leads to the desecration of cemeteries or destruction of monuments. The harsh reactions of Russia evoke attempts to commemorate "participants in the war of independence" - in fact soldiers of the Latvian SS Legion.

The article discusses Łukasz Surowiec’s Berlin-Birkenau project under which the artist planted in Berlin several hundred birches from the area around the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. The goal of the work defined by the artist was to create living monuments of the Holocaust and to propose the changes in the dynamics of Polish-German relations. In the article, I propose interpreting Surowiec’s work through the symbolic role of birches in the history of Polish culture and environmental history of the Holocaust. Such interpretation reveals the ambiguity of the gesture of replanting trees, the inability to classify it as an act of giving responsibility to the Germans or Polish-German reconciliation.

Dynamics of the particular and the common: Monuments and patriotic tourism in socialist Yugoslavia – a case study of KosovoThis paper reflects on two case studies of monuments in Socialist Yugoslavia in Kosovo, commemorating World War II partisans in Mitrovica (1973) and Landovica (1963) and their performative functions as a part of the phenomena of patriotic tourism. Both examples refer to inter-ethnic (Serbian and Albanian) relations bound by the slogan brotherhood and unity. Boro and Ramiz, two figures present in Yugoslav collective memory and represented through monuments and orality, have become a symbol of unity in Socialist Yugoslavia. War memorials and monuments have been raised all over the territory of socialist Yugoslavia and created an invisible network of remembrance and identity. The most important sites, as those analyzed in this paper, have become destinations of patriotic tourism: they were visited by millions every year and were associated with huge print runs of tourist propaganda production such as maps, guide-books and postcards (apart from commercial tourist attractions, almost every postcard produced in socialist Yugoslavia presented a nearby monument or memorial). Dynamika indywidualizmu i wspólnoty. Pomniki i turystyka patriotyczna w socjalistycznej Jugoslawii – przypadek KosowaNiniejszy artykuł prezentuje dwa studia przypadku dotyczące pomników socjalistycznej Jugosławii na terenie Kosowa, upamiętniających partyzantów z czasów II wojny światowej w Mitrowicy (1973) i Landovicy (1963) oraz ich funkcji performatywnych w ramach zjawiska turystyki patriotycznej. Oba przykłady odnoszą się do relacji międzyetnicznych (serbskich i albańskich) połączonych hasłem: braterstwo i jedność. Dwaj partyzanci obecni w zbiorowej pamięci dzięki pomnikom i historii mówionej – Boro i Ramiz – stali się symbolem jedności w socjalistycznej Jugosławii. Pomniki i miejsca pamięci upamiętniające walkę usłały całe terytorium socjalistycznej Jugosławii i stworzyły niewidzialną sieć pamięci i tożsamości. Najważniejsze miejsca, jak te analizowane w artykule, stały się celami turystyki patriotycznej i są odwiedzane przez miliony turystów każdego roku. Były one związane z prowadzoną na dużą skalę propagandą turystyczną: publikowanymi w dużych nakładach mapami, przewodnikami i pocztówkami, które oprócz komercyjnych atrakcji turystycznych prezentowały pobliskie miejsca pamięci i pomniki.

The article presents the fate of monumental sculpture in occupied Warsaw 1939-1945. The aim of the Third Reich’s cultural policy adopted in Poland was to get rid of all traces of the Poles' cultural identity. This was manifest, i.a., in the destruction of Polish monuments. Therefore, it want to dispose of Polish monuments from the capital as objects that played a special role in maintaining the spirit of Polishness. Through subsequent orders, the occupying authorities sought to remove them from the city. The Polish City Council, headed by the commissary mayor Julian Kulski, took all measures to save these monuments. Most of the capital's monuments survived until the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising, thanks to actions taken to save them. After 1944, only a few of them remained on the plinths.

The St. Nicholas parish church in Elbląg, currently the Elbląg diocese cathedral, is a unique building in every respect. Until today, it remains the most important element of the town and reflects its turbulent history. Since its erection, the church was an important centre of liturgical music. The paper discusses the changes in the organ instruments of the largest Elbląg church after the fire of 26 April 1777 until 1945. Their story has remained largely unknown until today. It is particularly surprising that no one analysed the issue of the instrument’s history in St. Nicholas’ church ever since it became a cathedral. The author of this paper intends to contribute to reviewing the history of the grand renovation of the church of St. Nicholas after the fire of 1777.

The aim of the study is to characterise the distribution of some places of sudden death in Poznań, especially those commemorating victims of road accidents and casualties of historical events (e.g. the period of the Nazi occupation, the social protests of 1956, and the martial-law period). There is also a survey of some conceptions of cultural geography and associated disciplines dealing with such places.

PL

Nekropolie i ich lokalizacja w środowisku były przedmiotem tradycyjnych studiów z zakresu geografii religii, jak również badań nad krajobrazem kulturowym. Pojawił się nawet postulat rozwijania dyscypliny szczegółowej - nekrogeografu, zajmującej się m.in. zmianami morfologii krajobrazu cmentarzy. Humanistyczną interpretacją przestrzeni kultury, której składnikiem są nekropolie, zajął się J. Kaczmarek. Według niego „nekropolie są przestrzenią kultury życia”, pozwalającą zachować pamięć o zmarłych w życiu społeczeństwa. Jednakże obok nekropolii we współczesnej przestrzeni kulturowej powstają nowe miejsca pamięci o zmarłych - i pojawia się problem upamiętnienia miejsc związanych ze śmiercią. Układ tych miejsc w przestrzeni publicznej miasta można określić mianem tanatotopologii pamięci. Etymologia tego określenia wywodzi się od greckich słów: thanatos (oznaczającego w mitologii greckiej boga śmierci), topos (oznaczającego miejsce) i logos (oznaczającego naukę). Koncepcja topologii pamięci została zastosowana przez M. Cranga i P.S. Travlou do przedstawienia relacji pomiędzy czasem, miejscem i pamięcią w opisach literackich miast, m.in. spojrzeniu na Ateny przez Flauberta. Określenie to nawiązuje też do rozważań J. Kaczmarka o kontinuum ontologicznym miejsca, w którym wyróżnia on kategorię topologii bycia. Jej zadaniem - według przywołanego autora -jest „określenie istoty miejsca i odkrywanie prawideł pozwalających zrozumieć wydarzanie się miejsca w życiu jednostki, grupy, społeczeństwa”. W przestrzeni publicznej polskich miast pojawiło się w XX w. wiele oznakowanych miejsc śmierci. Jedne z nich są wyrazem pamięci zbiorowej o wydarzeniach historycznych, inne - wyrazem chęci upamiętnienia miejsca śmierci bliskiej osoby przez krąg najbliższej rodziny lub przyjaciół. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest charakterystyka upamiętnionych miejsc śmierci w przestrzeni publicznej Poznania.

In this paper, we are considering the social aspects of the object “Porta Macedonia” as a part of the project “Skopje 2014”, its political and cultural meanings, its symbolic aspects and its reflection on identity policies in contemporary Macedonia. We read buildings and monuments of “Skopje 2014” project as texts, interpret them as symbols recognizing as signs of multilayered ideas and interpretations of the nation under strong political patronage. The text shows how a monument in a very short period creates multiple layers of symbolism which, depending on social contexts, can be read in different ways.

The article presents the issues of preserving the historical memory of the cities of Southern Bessarabia (the southwestern part of Odesa region, Ukraine). The specific features of the region’s historical development, frequent changes in the state affiliation, intermixture and diversity of confessional and ethnographic aspects contributed to the formation of a special, multicultural and polyethnic habitat for the residents of this region. The region’s cities, formed many centuries ago, demonstrate specific, often unique features of the memory of the past, embodied in the temples, street names, residential buildings, and administrative and fortification structures. The preservation of the urban memory and its popularisation serve as the foundation of human beings who are free from prejudice, protect their identity and are tolerant of their neighbours.

The article is devoted to the places commemorating the Krzeszowice participants of Polish insurrection activities during the January Uprising (1863-1864). To observe the 150th anniversary of the January Uprising outbreak, the present article attempts to collect the information concerning traces of the Uprising in the Krzeszowice region. Although there was no military activity in the region, weapons were collected, volunteers set out from here, and this is where wounded participants of the fights were treated. Krzeszowice and the adjoining areas were the places where the participants of the Uprising and the exiles to Siberia spent the final years of their lives. The article indicates places of remembrance and the insurgents’ tombs. Many of the tombs no longer exist; some of the inscriptions are indecipherable. War tombs in the region are inventoried, yet until now there have been no records of tombs holding the remains of Insurrections participants deceased after the military activities. In Krzeszowice, the insurgents’ tombs are the most visible testimony to independence-seeking activities.On account of the Potocki family’s activities, St. Rafal Jozef Kalinowski and priest Wincenty Smoczynski, the Krzeszowice region became one of the places supporting the participants of the Uprising – first the wounded, later Siberia returnees, for example priest Jozef Owsiany, or those returning from emigration, for example priest Seweryn Paszkowski Insurrection participants from the Krzeszowice region left documents and keepsakes – tokens of gratitude offered to the Potocki family by the insurgents, a collection of items commemorating St. Rafal Jozef Kalinowski’s insurrection activity (a patron of the exiled to Siberia, who entered the Barefoot Carmelites), the tokens of memory placed in the Monastery of Barefoot Carmelites in Czerna by the family of Joanna Podluska – a veteran of the Uprising, and items left by Florian Buzdygan, a local Uprising leader, currently in the collection of The Krzeszowice Region Society [Stowarzyszenie Miłośników Ziemi Krzeszowickiej].

The author makes an attempt to check the state of historical remembrance of students from high schools in Częstochowa. The author does research and analyses students’ perception of the laces of commemoration. According to research this knowledge is at an extremely low level. Students do not know about existence of monuments, war memorials, commemorative plaques etc. The author’s thesis is that such state of affairs is the consequence of the situation that young people are not involved in the process of commemorating, or other words, founding memorials by various societies, associations or commitees.

The article deals with two erratic boulders that are situated within the area of the peak of Mountain Chełm (German: Gollenberg) near Koszalin; the area is now under the jurisdiction of the (Apostolic Movement of) Schoenstatt (German: Schönstatt) Institute of Mary Sisters. On the boulders there are inscriptions dedicated to two people, Frederick William III (German: Friedrich Wilhelm III), Prussian King, and Heinrich Ludwig Adolph Graf zu Dohna-Wundlacken, Regierungspräsident in Köslin (1818–1831); they were originators of the monument in honour of the inhabitants of Köslin who had died in the Napoleonic Wars in the years 1813–1815. It has been confirmed that the boulders had been set in a place of the stone plinth of what was left of the monument. In 1991 the boulders were taken thence and after a short time placed where they are now.

Dzięki pozyskanym informacjom udało się stwierdzić, że kamienie te pierwotnie były wmurowane w bliżej nieokreślonym miejscu kamiennego postumentu, jedynej pozostałości po monumencie. W roku 1991 zostały one stamtąd wydobyte i po krótkim czasie złożone w obecne miejsce.

The article presents commemorative works of public art in Coventry, dedicated to the civilian victims of the Second World War killed in aerial bombings carried out by the German air force, the Luftwaffe. Coventry, an important industrial city in the West Midlands, was largely destroyed in a devastating Blitz carpet bombing carried out on the night of 14/15 November 1940, during which the medieval Cathedral of St Michael was burned to the ground. The first part of the text is focused on the formation within its ruins of an open sacral plane, and on the works of contemporary art which were placed there between the years 1946–2012. This is followed, in the second part, by a presentation of an unusual installation, composed from free-standing corten steel walls, commemorating people who through the centuries lived on one street, Bayley Lane, which was completely destroyed in the November Blitz. Consecutively, the urban design and selected works of public art brought into the city centre in the XXI century have been considered, and the two works: „Future Monument” and „Public Bench” of the German artist Jochen Gerz scrutinised in detail. Gerz’s works were made in collaboration with the general public, and exemplify in this paper one of the strands of public art, designed and produced by artists in close consultation with members of their prospective mass audience.
