CITY WITHIN THE CITY The old textile districts illustrate the power and the investing momentum of those outstanding industrialists. In Tymienieckiego Street stands the old- est industrial plant in the city called Kopisch’s Bleachery (Bielnik Kopischa) (1826), and next to Piotrkowska Street is Ludwik Geyer’s White Factory (Biała Fabryka Ludwika Geyera), inside which the first steam powered engines were installed and used. Nowadays the building houses the Textile Museum (Muz- eum Włókiennictwa) and the International Fabric Triennial (Międzynarodowe Triennale Tkaniny) – the most important of its kind in the world. One of the most interesting monuments of the industrial age in Łódź is Księży Młyn, built by Scheibler in the 1870’s. This city within a city, connected by a private railway network is comprised of residential houses, factory build- ings, spinning mills, warehouses, workers’ houses, a hospital, a school, shops, a sports park and a power station. The massive red brick walls, mighty tow- ers, monumental gates and chimneys are the symbols of the 19th century’s Industrial Revolution - Księżny Młyn remains one of the magnificent monu- ments to European industrial culture. PEARLS OF EUROPEAN ART NOUVEAU Leopold Kindermann’s villa built in the Art Nouveau style (Wólczańska Street) is the most beautiful example of this style in Poland. The picturesque, asymmetric block of the building topped by a high roof is finely encrusted with floral and figural motifs and stained-glass windows. Equally intriguing, surprising by the lightness of its form and stylistic elegance, is the Art Nouveau house (built in 1909) at no. 100 Piotrkowska Street (the famous Esplanada restaurant) distinguishing itself with its fine ornamentation and artistic, hand-wrought balustrades. Equally beautiful is Reinhold Richter’s villa (no. 6 Skorupki Street) worth seeing for the ornamen- tation of its front elevation. Łódź is a particular encyclopedia of the Art Nouveau style in its differ- ent functional variants: villas, governmental buildings, factories and out- buildings. The old Łódź necropolis contains many Art Nouveau tombstones and sculptures. THE ŁóDź FILM SCHOOL For those who enjoy the cinema all over the world the name ‘Filmówka’ or Łódź Film School evokes a smile and words of respect. Among the hun- dreds of graduates of this school, world-famous directors, cameramen and actors there are Academy Award Laureates and winners of prestigious prizes in Cannes: Krzysztof Kieślowski, Roman Polański, Andrzej Wajda and Krzysztof Zanussi. The Karol Wilhelm Scheibler palace contains the only Museum of Cin- ematography in Poland. It has a collection of exhibits relating to the history of film technology and production. Łódź is host to the most important festival of camera work in the world - Camerimage, where the most outstanding cameramen are awarded prizes. Other creators in cinema also have their festivals in Łódź: ŁóDź, CITY OF CREATIVE ENERGY Łódź, the largest city in Poland, aside from Warsaw, is a cultural phe- nomenon and a fascinating place inhabited by distinguished artists, scien- tists and industrialists. It is a modern city deeply rooted in tradition. A city of the multicultural heritage of Poles, Germans, Jews and Russians. A city of the industrial revolution, of the steam engine and the electrical era. It is the city housing the world-famous Modern Art Museum (Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej) and the Lodz Film School (Łódzka Szkoła Filmowa). Łódź - a city of creative energy, vibrating with the pulse of our modern era. A DIALOGUE OF FOUR CULTURES From the 19th century Łódź has been the Promised Land for many nations: Poles, Germans, Jews and Russians. Among them were many great industrialists, merchants, bankers, architects and writers who created a modern city and its culture. The Jewish community at the turn of the 20th century was estimated at two hundred thousand and in that number there were the great industrialists - Izrael Kalmanowicz Poznański, musicians - Artur Rubinstein and Aleksander Tansman, the distinguished architect - Dawid Lande and a master of poetry - Julian Tuwim. The Shoah, the darkest episode in the history of Europe, took the lives of all the members of the Jewish community in Łódź. The way of death led from the ghetto in Łódź, (called Litzmannstadt by the Germans), to the Nazi death camps in Oświęcim (Auschwitz) and Chełmno (Kulmhof). The remaining material symbols of the Jewish culture, the inherent parts of the cultural landscape of Łódź are historic buildings such as the centre of the Jewish community (no. 18, Pomorska Street), the Reicher synagogue (no. 28, Rewolucji 1905 Street) and the biggest necropolis in Europe covering an area of 4100 acres (no. 40, Bracka Street) where one hundred and sixty thousand graves and seventy thousand Jewish headstones, masebhas, are preserved. In the 1830’s German weavers and cloth makers came to Łódź in great num- bers; the German industrial culture played a significant role in the development of the city. It has left priceless reminders of technical and urban history: factories and the haughty residences of the manufacturers, power and communication machinery, historic tenements, three Evangelical churches, theatres, schools and the cemetery next to Ogrodowa Street. The powerful textile empires created by industrialists of German origin, Scheibler, Geyer, Grohman and Heinzel, have sur- vived to this day and are used as the foundations of various institutions. The over one hundred-year-old presence of Russians in Łódź is related to the time when Poland did not exist as a nation and the city, paradoxically, had its moment of dynamic development. The remnants of that Russian culture are the Eastern Orthodox Churches, chapels, the headquarters of governing bodies and examples of sepulcher art in Łódź cemeteries. The most significant trace of those times is the St. Alexander Nevsky’s Eastern Orthodox Cathedral (Kilińskiego Street). Built in the neo-Byznatine style on an octagon plan, the church houses a magnificent iconostas. The Festival of the Four Cultures, held annually in September, reflects this multicultural heritage of Łódź. happenings, sports competitions and Fairs take place along this street - the cultural salon of the city. Piotrkowska Street is also a unique and rich gallery of urban architecture. The outstanding monuments are Hermana Konstadta’s palace (no. 53) with the characteristic atlases, the banking house of Maksymilian Goldfeder (no. 77), the tenement house of Jan Peterslige (stonemason) with the statue of Jan Guttenberg on its facade (no. 86), Juliusza Kindermanna’s house with the Venetian mosaic (no. 137) and the headquarters of the Krusche & Ender company (no. 143), delightful for its floral decoration. The side wall of the tenement house at no. 152 is decorated with the biggest wall graffiti in Poland presenting Łódź city landscapes. At Piotrkowska (no. 265) stands the tallest church in the city, the St. Stanislaw Kostka’s Met- ropolitan Cathedral. Its towers exceed 100 m in height. Over the last few years Piotrkowska Street has started to play the role of a sculpture gallery with figural monuments incorporated into it and devoted to the people, events, and the monuments of three manufactur- ers; the statues of the writer Reymont’s strongbox, Jaracz’s Fotel, (dis- tinguished director and actor), Rubinstein’s piano and the characteristic Tuwim bench. A special homage to the citizens of Łódź is the Monument of the People constructed at the turn of the millennia made from thirteen thousand bricks with the names of the donors cut into them.

FACTORY OF TRADE AND ENTERTAINMENT The modern center of art, trade and entertainment, Manufaktura, has been created inside the former ‘factory empire’, built from characteristic red brick, once belonging to one of the most prominent owners of many industrial buildings, Izrael Kalmanowicz Poznañski. There are also plans to open a four-star hotel belonging to the Andels chain, in the five storey cotton factory (170 meters in length). The form and the quality of the adaptation of the building, the functionality program and the interior aesthetics are highly regarded and have been nominated for the inter- national MIPIM award in the category of trade centers. Manufaktura contains an IMAX cinema, restaurants, bowling alleys, a climbing wall, a museum and a number of boutiques and shops of reputed brands. Just round the corner in Ogrodowa Street in the Pałacu Poznańskich (the Poznański family Palace), the biggest industrial residence in Europe, is the Museum of the History of the City of Łódź (Muzeum Historii Mia- sta Łodzi). Walking through the museum halls we can learn a great deal about the history of the city, the interiors of mansions arranged accord- ing to the tastes of those rich industrialist, and the history of outstand- ing citizens of Łódź. One of the ‘symbols’ of the city is the avant-garde artistic group, Łódź Kaliska, renowned for their sophisticated happenings and exploits rebel- ling against the artificiality of ‘elitist art’ and mass culture. CITY STREET SALON Piotrkowska Street is the cultural center of Łódź, the axis of the devel- opment of the 19th century city and a contemporary representative salon. Among the street’s interesting points is Liberty Square (Plac Wolności), which is in the shape of a regular octagon. The Town Hall – one of the oldest historical buildings of industrial Lodz, stands on one side of the square, and next to it, on the opposite side of Piotrkowska Street, is the Catholic Church of the Holy Ghost, together with the Archeological and Ethnographical Museum. In the centre of the square stands the characteristic monument of Tadeusz Kościuszko, visible almost from any point on the 4 km long Piotrkowska Street. On both of its sides there are numerous restaurants, artistic basements and clubs and an endless gallery of shops and bou- tiques with clothes produced by well known Polish and European compa- nies. Piotrkowska Street never falls asleep. When there’s no trade there’s entertainment, when there’s no singing there’s dancing. Many concerts,
