about Gliwice

Gliwice (pronounce: [gli:viʦε]) is a city in south Poland with 204,820 inhabitants (2002). Situated in the Silesian Voivodship (since 1999), previously in Katowice Voivodship (1975-1998).

Gliwice history

The history section is based on an outdated article from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. Feel free to make improvements and corrections

Gliwice was a town of Germany (Gleiwitz), in the Prussian province of Silesia, on the Klodnitz, and the railway between Opole and Krakow, 40 m. S.E. of the former town. Pop. (1875) 14,156; (1905) 61,324. As of 1911 it possessed two Protestant and four Roman Catholic churches, a synagogue, a mining school, a convent, a hospital, two orphanages, and barracks. Gleiwitz was the centre of the mining industry of Upper Silesia. Besides the royal foundry, with which were connected machine manufactories and boilerworks, there were other foundries, meal mills and manufactories of wire, gas pipes, cement and paper.

A staged attack on a radio station in Gleiwitz on August 31, 1939 served as a pretext for Nazi Germany to invade Poland, thus starting World War II.
