Hi. I am silesian lived 30minutes from Katowice and i am so proud that you visit my region. We’ve got much more interest places to visit like Stadion Śląski and very big park around it. You must visit it in summer when lot of people with their families enjoy free time. Ps. 1:45 the white ‚R’ on the wall and later blue RUCH are signs of my favorite club RUCH CHORZÓW plays exactly on Stadion Sląski. Ruch is the most titled club in Poland. Big history of polish football. I hope you have got more vlogs from silesia. Thanks again. Poland is not only Warsaw and Wroclaw. Cheers
Glad you found that museum 🙂 I was there in the summer (I'm from UK). We done a cycle tour out to the ex-mining town that took in the lakes that have been created where the spoils once where. You wouldn't know you were just outside a city! Also done the cable car across the park. Loved the vibe of the city and hope to return. Like you I'm a bit of a Poland fan, having visited 26 times now!

Historical note. The Soviets didn't rule Poland in the early 20th century. The Soviets didn't exist then. Poland was divided between Tsarist Russia, Prussia and Austria. Soviet Russia was established after World War I. The Soviets shaped Polish reality after World War II. 7:32 A commemorative plaque commemorates scouts fighting against the German army in 1939.
Oprócz tego dobrym filmem o tematyce Śląska jest np. "Sól ziemi czarnej". Będąc w Katowicach warto wybrać się także do pobliskich miast i zobaczyć np. Kopalnie w Zabrzu lub Tarnowskich Górach. Park Śląski i Planetarium. Wiele muzeów oprócz tych w Katowicach np. Muzeum powstań Śląskich w Świętochłowicach, Radiostacja, odgrywała ciekawą historię podczaj rozpoczęcia drugiej wojny światowej w Gliwicech i Zamek Piastowski. Można by tak wymieniać wiele historycznych i ciekawych miejsc w tym rejonie ;)
Good video which contains not only food and architecture but mostly history. It is unique foreigners to be interested in our history. Thank you. Good job.
I really enjoy your programs. You prepare for them exceptionally well. So well, in fact, that even I-a local-learn something new, and I know Poland quite well, having traveled it far and wide. Congratulations! Here’s an interesting fact for you. Primarily due to the war and the dramatic changes in borders, as well as the displacements and resettlements that followed, Poles generally speak in a similar way without distinctive accents. The exception lies in just a few regions where the sound of the language is noticeably different. Silesia is one of them. The Silesian dialect is so distinct that it aspires to the status of a separate language. The film Gomorrah was shown in Italy with subtitles because no one outside of Naples’ lower social classes would have understood it otherwise. With Silesian, it’s not quite that extreme, but I think if a Silesian speaker really made an effort, I might struggle a bit. Probably not with understanding the general meaning of a sentence, but definitely with some individual words.
7:34 It's not an urban legend at all, about scauts and other Poles living in Katowice fighting against Germans. When one walks in the forests surrounding the city, there are more places where scauts and other Polish victims were executed by Germans and buried in the mass graves (now there are monuments commemorating this, visible in various places in the forests surrounding the city). And one can also mention a Catholic priest from Silesia whose name was Jan Macha, who - only for helping people during the war in various social problems of life in that times (like organizing and providing material assistance to families who lost husbands, fathers or sons in the war and were struggling to survive) - was imprisoned and executed with a guillotin by Germans in 1942 (he was beatified by Pope in 2021). The guillotin used by Germans for such executions can be seen in the museum.
Ale mitem jest obrona wieży spadochronowej przez harcerzy czy kogo tam. W 39' do Katowic Wermacht wszedł bez wystrzału a ludność witała wojska niemieckie bez entuzjazmu ale i bez wrogości. Sporo ludzi spotykało się przecież z niemcami od urodzenia na codzień a przekraczanie granicy nie stanowiło problemów. (But the defense of the parachute tower by scouts or whoever is a myth. In 39' the Wehrmacht entered Katowice without a shot and the population welcomed the German troops without enthusiasm but also without hostility. After all, many people met Germans from birth on a daily basis and crossing the border was not a problem.)
@@Under1920 I've read that there were some fights, of scouts, near this parachute tower when Germans entered, and some of Polish scouts were actually shot there - but whole defence of the tower was probably less significant and all the figh much shorter than the legend made of it later. But it is not totally untrue, just the significance of these fights, of the scauts defending the parachute tower, are supposed to be exaggerated. There are controversies about it, because of not having enough evidence, only some testimonies. But it doesn't mean at all that there were no fights and no resistance against Germans entering, and later.
Greate video! One clarification though. Solidarity won in 1989 rather than 1991, by leading to the first partially free elections. "Solidarity" won all possible seats in the Senate (99 out of 100) and all 161 seats in the Sejm. Tadeusz Mazowiecki, a "Solidarity" activist, became the first non-communist prime minister in Eastern Europe since World War II. Poland became the first Warsaw Pact country to break free from dependence on the Soviet Union, several months before of the fall of the Berlin wall. 1991 was the fall of the Soviet Union.
Świetny reporter Ten chop ma coś z Polskiego że go przyciąga Polska i serce polskie. Po prostu znakomity ambasador kultury Polskiej za granicą. Zresztą Słowianie mają dużo Skandynawii i WB wspólnego. Jak oni z nas
Pracowałem kiedyś ze starszym Panem który opowiadał że odbywał służbę w wojsku w jednostce na śląsku. Akurat był strajk w kopalni Wujek i dostali rozkaz jechać tam ciężkim sprzętem. On był kierowcą czołgu albo transportera (nie pamiętam). W każdym razie jego głowa wystawała na zewnątrz pojazdu, ludzie na kopalni pluli na nich. Opowiadał że ślina po jego głowie (hełmofonie) spływała jak gdyby padał deszcz. Był przerażony, nie wykonanie rozkazu jako żołnierza podczas służby zasadniczej powodowało szereg kłopotów. Śląsk w Polsce to takie Yorkshire w UK. Pozdrawiam Was.
An interesting fact is that in 1972 Fidel Castro came to Katowice to Spodek where he became an honorary miner. He has photos in miner's ceremonial uniform and cap.
As for the painted windows, it is being said that, because the red paint was widely used and available in coal mines, it was used on buildings in mining colonies. But in ironworks colonies, a green paint was used. So in the end, different colours were used for distinguishing the type of colonies (buildings).
0:38 w Nikiszowcu jest fajne małe muzeum. btw. I love Silesian Museum but I cannot recall if the exhibits are labeled in English. I've never been to Wujek Coal Mine. for sure Muzeum Historii Katowic located in tenament house is also worth visiting. Guido Mine in Zabrze is arguably the biggest tourist attraction in the region
In fact in Katowice and its surrounding there are many green areas, parks, forests, even fields. So it's a stereotype, untrue, that it's a dirty, grey city - in fact it's not.
he called it a "saucer" because it looked like a flying UFO and in Poland word "spodek" means that. The similarity of the main hall's shape to the descriptions of alien space vehicles from science fiction novels published in the 1960s, i.e. flying saucers, contributed to the popular name for the hall - "Spodek"[34]. This name became popular at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s
I didn't understand why Poland would be considered dirty. Polish cities, towns and even villages are famous for being clean and quite well-kept. Is it about air pollution? You simplify the matter a bit by saying that Poland was ruled by the Soviets. They had influence over Poland, but Poland was not part of the USSR, unlike Lithuania. I was born then and I had never met any Russian. I lived in Poland, among Poles, in Polish culture and Polish language. The Polish People's Republic was a Polish state. This is a different situation than under the partitions of the 19th century, when Poland did not exist at all.
Another history note. Nikiszowiec was built entirely by Germans (Prussians) when whole Silesia region was German. Poland came here only after I World War, most of the iconic brick districts were already built at the time. Worth to know the region a bit more, it's very interesting and unique.
I'm sure You guys seen the frog statue in the middle of city center . Why is it there on Stawowa ( Pound ) street . There was a huge pound in the middle of the city 130 years ego .
Silesia is my holiday plan for this year, I hope to spend there about two weeks. So, a question for Silesians - do you recommend any unknown gems, out of the beatten tracks, places that are not first tourist's choice, but definately worth visiting?
I didn't know that gray could have so many shades. I'm joking, I knew it. I was born several dozen kilometers from Katowice, now I live in London/Feltham.
Did you know that in Silesian cemeteries, German-language inscriptions on gravestones were being removed shortly after the war? Including Jewish cemeteries.
@CharlieandRob Oh yes, absolutely! Please don’t get me wrong - I truly appreciate that you visited Katowice and made this video. Nikiszowiec may look "sad" and not modernised, but that reflects the true history of this region, and the people living there preserve it. Many of those buildings are also listed as heritage sites.
The truth is the story of Solidarity protests was not as simple as it is said: good, peaceful miners vs. evil militia. I know people who saw heavy machine parts, flagstones and Molotov cocktails being missled against the army and militia. Enough to say, that there was more injuries on the governments side than the protesters. So it's not so straightforward. Long story tho.
The more I lived in the UK, the more disliked it. The more Rob lives in Poland, the more he dislikes it. A side note, a prophecy of a kind😝, when get old enough to rellocate to a perfect, warm country of yr choice. To spend yr happy last days in comfort and pleasure then...after a year or so.... you will utterly dislike it. You have my word.
Raplace the verb “live” by “visit” The more Rob visits…. Any better? Actually I refer more to yr another film with a friend of yours (I can’t find it at the moment)…Sorry The one in which both of you condemn European (thus Polish) sockets and praise those 3-pin ones😢
Im sorry guys but for me, Silesia is too depressing, there are bricks everywhere, chimneys, everything dirty with smoke. I come from another region of Poland, more forested and mountainous, so I would never live in Katowice.
Czyli tak jak powiedziała Charlie, jak ktoś nie jest ze Śląska to wydaje mu się że miasto jest czarne od węgla a po ulicach chodzą ludzie z kilofami. 😂🤣. 👍
In Katowice and its surroundings there are many green areas, parks, even there are still fields (near Mikołów), and forests also. So it's a stereotype, not true, that it's a dirty, grey city. It's actually more green than many others.

I was in Nikiszowiec during the summertime. It looked amazing. There are two amaizing restaurants nearby. The Prohibicja restaurant for instance 👍
Great trip, and a very nice video. Surely not a most popilar destination but absolutele a must see place to understand Poland.
Fun fact:
the new Congress Center next to Spodek was designed to reflect the landing path of Spodek. (This green path)
