We invite you to join our colleagues from Poland and around the world to participate in the 13th International Symposium on Mine Planing and Equipment Selection (MPES 2004). The Symposium will be held on 1-3 September 2004 in Wroclaw, Poland.
 Wroclaw
is an excellent example of a multicultural metropolis situated at the interface of
ethnically diverse areas. For a greater part of the city's history, German was the
dominant language in Wroclaw. However, for several generations the city was home to the
Korn publishing house, which printed many books in Polish (250 titles between 1732 and
1790). Here the German playwright Karl Holtei staged a play about the Polish national hero
Tadeus Kosciusko in 1826. The Czechs have also played an important role in the city's
history (in 1335- 1526 Wroclaw belonged to the Kingdom of Bohemia). As late as 1719, the
great sculptor Johann Georg Urbanski of Bohemia was given the key to the city. Multiculturalism again left a very deep impress on the city's character after the Second World War, when the city's German population was largely replaced by people arriving from various regions of Poland, including those resettled from the eastern provinces of Poland taken over by the Soviet Union. In particular, many former citizens of Wilno (Vilnius) and Lwow (Lvov) settled here. With them came the great library collection of the Ossolinski Institution from Lwow, which found a new location in the magnificent Baroque edifice of the former monastery of the Red Star Knights of the Cross. Two other works of unique significance for Polish culture were transferred from Lwow: the statue of the leading Polish comic dramatist, Count Aleksander Fredro, and the Panorama of the Battle of Raclawice, a monumental painting representing the victorious battle with the Russian forces fought by Tadeus Kosciusko on 4 April 1794, one of only several paintings of this kind to have survived in Europe until the present. It took over 35 years before it was possible to show the Panorama to the public, but today it is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. |
