The article presents German pamphlets originating in Lusatia, dedicated to the devastating fire that destroyed the town of Görlitz in March, 1691. The tragedy was a milestone in the history of the town and it was an opportunity to look back and evaluate the history from the current perspective. The importance of the event as the „point of historic memory“ was strengthened by the fact that a catastrophe of the same kind was, in legend, the reason for the founding of the town by Přemyslid duke of Bohemia Soběslav. The authors of these multi-paged pamphlets were mostly the citizens of Görlitz who lived at a time when the town was no longer royal town of King of Bohemia, instead it was a part of the Saxony electorate. The history of their town was a source of inspiration and pride for them and gave them strength to rebuild their hometown for the better. The author deals with the content and social context of these pamphlets, paying special attention to the reflexive passages about the Luxembourgs, John of Görlitz and the Görlitz Duchy.

W artykule starano się prześledzić rodzaj uczuć (mierzonych ilościowo) żywionych przez zgorzelczan wobec ich sąsiadów z Görlitz. To lokalne oblicze problemu zestawiono z poziomem ogólnonarodowym, tzn. postaw Polaków wobec Niemców, i odniesiono do trzech koncepcji: banalnego nacjonalizmu, człowieka pogranicza i sympatii między narodami. Zgromadzone dane empiryczne pokazują, że zgorzelczanie ujawniają b rdziej pozytywne postawy wobec swych sąsiadów niż polskie społeczeństwo jako całość i uczucia te, jak sugerują stosowne analizy, można określić jako „ciepłą obojętność”. Artykuł kończy ujęcie jakościowe problemu, dodatkowo wychodzące poza obszar Zgorzelec–Görlitz, dzięki czemu uzyskuje się szerszą perspektywę podjętych zagadnień.

The article seeks to keep track of the type of feelings (measured quantitatively) nurtured by the inhabitants of Zgorzelec towards their neighbours from Görlitz. This local face of the problem is set against the nationwide level, i.e., the attitudes Poles have to Germans, and referred to three conceptions: banal nationalism, a man of borderland and a liking between nations. The empirical data gathered show that the inhabitants of Zgorzelec have a better attitude to their neighbours than the Polish society as a whole, and—as it is suggested by the relevant analyses—this feeling can be described as ‘a warm indifference’. The article finishes with a qualitative look, additionally going beyond the area of Zgorzelec/ Görlitz, thanks to which one is offered a broader perspective of the issues under question.

The article seeks to characterise changes in the number and structure of foreigners in the split border towns of zgorzelec and Görlitz by the criterion of country of origin in the years 1993–2014 on the basis of statistical data obtained from the town offces, although for zgorzelec the analysis only concerns the year 2014 because of the lack of data. The towns differ in the number and structure of foreigners, which is primarily due to changes in the permeability of the state borders and integration processes occurring in europe, as well as the ever more intensive migration movement. Görlitz has a much higher proportion of foreigners in its population (5.4%) than zgorzelec (0.5%), and they come here from more countries (in Görlitz foreigners come from 55 states, and in zgorzelec from 20 states). The group predominating among foreigners is that of Poles (69.0% of the total). It seems that the present inflow of migrants from the Near east and Northern africa will diversify the structure of foreigners by country of origin even more, and will change the proportions between the native German population and the number of foreigners living in the town.

Celem artykułu jest charakterystyka zmian liczby i struktury obcokrajowców według kryterium kraju pochodzenia w podzielonych miastach granicznych Zgorzelec i Görlitz w latach 1993–2014 na podstawie danych statystycznych uzyskanych z Urzędów Miast, z tym ze dla miasta Zgorzelec analiza –z uwagi na brak danych – dotyczy wyłącznie roku 2014. Miasta charakteryzują sie różną liczbą i strukturą obcokrajowców kształtowaną przede wszystkim pod wpływem zmian stopnia przenikalności granic państwowych oraz procesów integracyjnych w Europie, jak również coraz intensywniejszych ruchów migracyjnych. Görlitz cechuje sie dużo wyższym odsetkiem obcokrajowców w populacji miasta (5,4%) niż Zgorzelec (0,5%), a ponadto większym ich zróżnicowaniem według kraju pochodzenia (w Görlitz cudzoziemcy pochodzą z 55 państw, w Zgorzelcu – z 20 państw). Dominującą grupa wśród cudzoziemców są Polacy (69,0% ogółu obcokrajowców). Wydaje sie, ze trwający obecnie napływ migrantów z Bliskiego Wschodu oraz Północnej Afryki jeszcze bardziej zróżnicuje strukturę cudzoziemców według kraju pochodzenia, jak również zmieni proporcje między rodzimą ludnością niemiecka a liczba obcokrajowców, zamieszkujących miasto.

The article focuses on the contacts between John of Görlitz and the dukes of Silesia. Due to the character of the preserved resources, it focuses primarily on their stays in his town of residence, Görlitz. To follow the chosen theme, we may use the accounts preserved there — they inform us about the important people who visited John’s court there. These include a number of Silesian dukes.

After decades of uncertainty and continuous change to the border regime since the split-up of Görlitz into a German part west of the river Neisse, and a Polish part called Zgorzelec after the Second World War, both towns established the self-designated European City Görlitz-Zgorzelec in 1998. Although journalists and politicians maintain that Görlitz and Zgorzelec are a case model for European integration, there are obvious differences between the visions connected to the project ‘European City’ and the everyday life. Following the key research question, whether the ‘European City Görlitz-Zgorzelec’, in its attempts to develop a border-crossing civil society, is also constructed from below by citizens on both sides of the border, my contribution to the field of border studies uses a qualitative micro-level approach to these processes in the fields of culture, leisure and education. For that aim, an ethnographically inspired socio-geographical research design has been linked to Henri Lefebvre’s theoretical framework of the double triad of spatial production developed in The Production of Space (1991). From the perspective of actors in civil society in both towns, who are active in constructing, shifting and deconstructing borders, the article aims to illuminate both territorial and social bordering processes. Borderwork is embedded in and connected to transformation and peripheralisation processes, as well as to the discourses on and the funding instruments of European Integration in the context of the complex history of the Polish-German border.
