The aim of the paper is to present the beginnings of the Polish interest in the early-mediaeval past of Kołobrzeg (Kolberg) mainly on the basis of archival sources. For 200 years the town was an important German location, and since 1945 it has been a significant Polish place of memory. However, so far there are no studies dealing with the history of research on the town of Kołobrzeg, although such enquiry subsequently became a canvas of political narratives about the past. The limit of the time-scope covered in the paper is the end of the 1950s, when the first stage of archaeological works on the Kołobrzeg settlement in Budzistowo (Altstadt) were completed. In 1960 a number of enterprises were undertaken in connection with the celebration of the Millennium of the Polish State. The article attempts to answer the question why studies on Kołobrzeg were launched so late, whether it was a top-down or bottom-up initiative and what was the meaning of the research. The source base of the paper consists mainly of archival materials collected in state archives and scientific and cultural institutions.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the issues regarding the process of organising branches of Narodowy Bank Polski in the so-called “Regained Territories” based on the example of the National Bank of Poland’s branch office in Racibórz. First, the communist authorities’ attitude towards the banking system was discussed. Secondly, the legislation in the field of banking was analysed, especially the Decree on the National Bank of Poland of 15 January 1945. Then, the archival sources regarding the Racibórz branch of NBP were analysed. The final part of the article was devoted to conclusions based on the research.

The paper discusses the representation of the so-called Regained Territories in reportage and novels by Ziemowit Szczerek. The aim of the paper is to identify the ways of creating a caricatural imaginary geography of the Polish-German borderlands which Szczerek calls “Poniemiecja” [“Post-German lands”]. An analysis of the source material made it possible to determine the functions of the borderlands theme in Szczerek’s works (demythologisation, deheroisation, confrontation). The paper also presents strategies of revising the pioneer myth of the so-called Regained Territories and of representing the Polish-German relations in Szczerek’s works of fiction and non- fiction.

Two exhibitions at the Xawery Dunikowski Museum of Sculpture at the Królikarnia Palace, branch of the National Museum in Warsaw: the ‘Inventorying’ Display-Research Project, which was a kind of a public inventory of the sculpture collection (2012) and the Exhibition ‘The Estate. Sculptures from the collection of the Von Rose family and films and photographs from the archive of Zofia Chomętowska’ (2015) are case studies serving the Author to analyse curatorship practices with respect to the collections whose major part is composed of ‘displaced assets’, first of all from the so-called ‘Regained Territories’. In the words of the Chief Curator at the Królikarnia Museum since 2011 and the Exhibitions’ Curator Agnieszka Tarasiuk: it is a troublesome collection testifying to a difficult heritage and not yielding to conservation. The paper’s methodological basis is the museum exhibits’ provenance research conducted by R. Olkowski, L.M. Kamińska, and M. Romanowska-Zadrożna, while its context is found in the programme assumptions of the Strategy for the Operations and Development of the National Museum in Warsaw 2010–2020 worked out by the former National Museum’s Director Piotr Piotrowski. One of its priorities is to clarify the origins of the collections of unknown provenance, and settling accounts with their former owners. Furthermore, the question related to constructing museum’s genealogy and the memory of history of the period immediately following WWII in the new socio-political situation in Poland after 1989 is posed. The position for dealing with collections’ provenance research introduced by P. Piotrowski was liquidated following the Director’s dismissal in 2012. The paper forms part of a bigger whole.

The article makes Polish obituaries from post-war period the centre of attention. Obituaries seem to be particularly important for researchers because of being a part of ephemera — items expected to have only short-term usefulness, that have never been analyzed by linguists. Thanks to Wroclaw University Library collection, it is possible to analyze the unique obituaries published in so-called Regained Territories in very post-war period. Firstly, there is an association with other popular funeral genre (published in press) discussed. Then, there are three aspects taken under consideration: structure of obituary (composition, symbols, typical phrases), language (stylistics, syntax, values), reference to political and social reality.

This article discusses the presence of things and their modes of functioning in the private (and, to some extent, also public) spaces of the Recovered Territories in Poland after the Second World War. In this article, things are perceived as active agents, crucial for developing many different social relations that have to be created anew in the unknown cultural and material environment. New things that people come across are also treated here as objects that can reveal traumatic tensions caused by the necessity of the existence in the unfamiliar space that was left behind by the war enemies. This new private space that the Polish people have to live in needs to be domesticated and treated as a part of the everyday life. Strategies that are used to familiarize the former German cultural heritage are the main focus of this article.

В этой ста­тье представлена проблема присудствия вещей и способа их функционирования особенно в личном пространстве на воссоединённых землях Польши после второй мировой войны. Bещи выступают здесь как активные актёры многих разнообразных общественных соотношений, которые надо создать заново в незнакомой материальной и культурнoй среде. Oдновременно новонайденные предметы могут вызывать травматические реакции у переселенцев, которые возникают как результат необходимости жизни в домах покиданных врагом. Это новое про­странство должно быть освоенное новыми жителями. Metoды ведущие к этой цели являются темой представленного здесь анализa.

After the Second World War, the region of Western Pomerania changed its religious face from Protestant to Catholic as a result of political decisions. As the Polish territory was moved to the west, the influence of the Roman Catholic Church also shifted. Not only secular settlers but also priests had to adjust to those exceptional circumstances. Usually treated as part of the institution they created, they have not yet been fully described as one of the groups of migrants. However, their role was crucial for the settlement and land development by believers, the Church and the Polish state. The aim of the article is to answer the questions who those clergymen were and how they dealt with this unusual challenge. In the literature on the subject, such issues as settlement processes in the Western and Northern Territories, the creation of the church administration, and relations between the state and the church have been widely described. Relations between priests and believers or relations among clergymen themselves are still less known. The documents available in the archives of state and church provenance allow to examine the priestly environment, which also underwent the stage of adaptation and integration with the foreign material and social environment. The historical and comparative method of research led to the establishment of several conclusions, including the most important one that the priests who came to Western Pomerania in the first decade after the war were not homogeneous. Their diversity concerned origin, education, customs or age, but also their attitude towards the so-called Regained Territories, their duties, church discipline or the new authority in Poland. This disintegration, often accompanied by prejudices and stereotypes, constituted the specificity of the religious life of the region and from this point of view is worth examining.

Celem artykułu było ukazanie i ocena udziału Kościoła katolickiego w uprawianej w latach 1945-1949 propagandzie na rzecz Ziem Zachodnich i Północnych. Teza zaś brzmi: Kościół katolicki w Polsce odgrywał świadomą i celową rolę w procesach polonizacji Ziem Odzyskanych między innymi uprawiając na ich rzecz propagandę. W roku 1945 w interesie Polski i Kościoła leżało trwałe zintegrowanie Ziem Zachodnich i Północnych z resztą kraju. Jednym z elementów koniecznych do osiągnięcia tego celu był przyjazd na te ziemie Polaków, ich adaptacja, zaangażowanie w odbudowę i zagospodarowanie oraz pozostanie na stałe. W nie znające precedensu, przedsięwzięcie zaangażowano przede wszystkim siły państwowe, które miały doprowadzić do realizacji polityki faktów dokonanych prowadzonej przez Józefa Stalina. Zajęcie Ziem Zachodnich było wówczas zgodne z polską racją stanu, dlatego włączyły się w to dzieło również ośrodki naukowe i Kościół. Zaraz po wojnie rozpoczęto akcję propagandową na rzecz Ziem Odzyskanych skierowaną do Polaków z województw centralnych (by ułatwić im zaakceptowanie zmian granicznych), do mieszkańców Kresów Wschodnich (by nadać sens ich migracji na zachód) oraz do społeczeństwa tworzącego się na terenach poniemieckich (by pozostali i zaczęli utożsamiać się z nową małą ojczyznę). Propaganda uprawiana przez Kościół różniła się od tej stosowanej przez państwo i ośrodki naukowe głównie tym, że odwoływała się do haseł ponownej chrystianizacji tych, protestanckich dotąd ziem. Specyficzny pod tym względem był region Pomorza Zachodniego, najsłabiej powiązany historycznie z Polską i długo borykający się z próżnią osadniczą. Stąd propaganda była tu bardziej intensywna, wykorzystywano w niej lokalną prasę katolicką i kościelną (zwłaszcza: "Tygodnik Katolicki" oraz "Zarządzenia Administracji Apostolskiej Kamieńskiej, Lubuskiej i Prałatury Pilskiej"), która stanowi podstawowe źródło do badań poruszanego problemu. W roku 1949, wraz ze zmianą polityki władz państwowych, działalność propagandowa na rzecz Ziem Odzyskanych straciła na znaczeniu. Jest to również ważna cezura ze względu na możliwości funkcjonowania Kościoła, które zostały od tego roku poważnie ograniczone, również w zakresie uprawianej przezeń propagandy.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie obecności Tatarów polskich na Ziemiach Zachodnich. W artykule pokazane są przykłady działalności Tatarów w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim. Zwrócono uwagę na działalność społeczną, lokalną i religijną. Mimo, że mało liczni Tatarzy starali się zaznaczyć swoją obecność w Gorzowie. Działalność i zaangażowanie przedstawicieli tej grupy w budowanie obrazu Gorzowa zapisały się w historii miasta na stałe. Dla wielu mieszkańców Rozalia Aleksandrowicz czy Elżbieta Włodarczyk to postaci, których działalność była widoczna w mieście i pozwoliła lepiej poznać Tatarów, ich kulturę, tradycję czy kuchnię. Obecność w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim tej społeczności wpisała się na stałe w budowanie historii miasta i jego wielokulturowego obrazu. Szkoda, że Tatarzy polscy „znikają” z obrazu miasta, którego są współtwórcami.

The article aims to present the presence of Polish Tatars in the Western Territories and examples of their participation in Gorzów Wielkopolski. Attention was paid to social, local and religious activities. Although their number was small, Tatars tried to mark their presence in Gorzów. The activity and involvement of representatives of this group in creating the image of Gorzów has been permanently recorded in the history of the town. For many dwellers Rozalia Aleksandrowicz or Elżbieta Włodarczyk are figures whose engagements in the town were evident and allowed to know Tatars, their culture, tradition or cuisine better. The complex fate of the commune in Gorzów as well as its various courses were reflected in functioning of their representatives and their activities in the town. The presence of Tatars in Gorzów Wielkopolski has become an inherent part of building the history of the town and its multicultural image. It is a pity that they are “vanishing” from the town image of which they are co-originators.

Pomnik Aleksandra Fredry przywieziony do Wrocławia w 1956 r. i ulokowany na wrocławskim rynku stał się po latach ulubionym miejscem spotkań mieszkańców miasta. Ostateczną decyzję lokalizacyjną poprzedziła dyskusja, którą szczegółowo relacjonowano w prasie. Początkowo uważano, że kameralne formy pomnika wykluczają umieszczenie go w dużej, otwartej przestrzeni centralnego placu miejskiego – dzieło Leonarda Marconiego było w końcu projektowane z myślą o niewielkim lwowskim placu Akademickim, położonym w sąsiedztwie ogrodów rezydencji Fredrów. Tymczasem w powojennym Wrocławiu rzeźbie pisarza nadano szczególne znaczenie – po pierwsze postrzegano ją jako symbol polskości, metaforyczne powiązanie Ziem Odzyskanych z utraconymi Kresami Wschodnimi, po drugie zaś była pierwszym „polskim” monumentem odsłoniętym w centrum dawnego Breslau. Dlatego właśnie zdecydowano o postawieniu go na najważniejszym placu miasta, na miejscu zburzonego po wojnie konnego pomnika Fryderyka Wilhelma III, symbolicznie „sakralizując” tym samym wrocławski rynek. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zapomnianej dziś dyskusji na temat lokalizacji pomnika Fredry, do której zaproszono nie tylko decydentów, ale też mieszkańców miasta. W pracy zaprezentowano niepublikowane wcześniej koncepcje usytuowania pomnika w różnych, nieoczywistych dziś punktach Wrocławia.

The Monument to Aleksander Fredro was brought to Wrocław in 1956 and placed in the Wrocław Market Square to become a favourite meeting place of the city inhabitants after some years. The final location decision was preceded by a discussion, reported in detail in the press. Initially, it was thought that the small and rather cosy monument form precluded its placement in the large, open space of a central city square. After all, Leonardo Marconi's work was designed for the small Lviv Academic Square, located in the vicinity of the Fredro family's residence gardens. However, the writer's sculpture took a special meaning in post-war Wrocław. Firstly it was perceived as a symbol of Polishness, a metaphorical link between the Recovered Territories and the lost Eastern Borderlands, and secondly, it was the first "Polish" monument to be unveiled in the centre of former Breslau. This is why the monument was finally placed in the city's most important square, in place of the equestrian monument to Friedrich Wilhelm III, demolished after Word War II, thus symbolically "sacralising" the Wrocław market square. This paper aims to present a discussion, now forgotten, on the location of the Fredro monument, to which not only decision-makers but also citizens of the city were invited. The paper presents previously unpublished concepts for the location of the monument in various, nowadays not obvious, spots in Wrocław.
