Under the Insurgents’ Memorial
Shot from below, the memorial’s three bronze wings blot out most of the sky. A man in a grey hoodie sat on the granite wall at the base, hunched over something in his lap, tiny against the thing behind him. He’d picked the one spot where the monument s...

Under the Insurgents’ Memorial
Shot from below, the memorial's three bronze wings blot out most of the sky. A man in a grey hoodie sat on the granite wall at the base, hunched over something in his lap, tiny against the thing behind him. He'd picked the one spot where the monument stops being a monument and turns into somewhere to sit. Take him out of the frame and you'd have no clue how big it actually is. The Silesian Insurgents Memorial's three wings stand for the three Silesian Uprisings of 1919, 1920, and 1921, when […]https://inphotos.org/2026/07/22/under-the-insurgents-memorial/

Śląsk pełen jest bohaterów odlanych w brązie i kamieniu. Artyści, postacie historyczne, a nawet bajkowi bohaterowie – ich pomniki mijamy na co dzień, często nie znając ich historii.
Sprawdź w naszym quizie, ile z nich rozpoznajesz! 🗿Quiz przygotowany we współpracy z Anną Magalską, autorką publikacji „Górny Śląsk. Edukacja regionalna. Karty pracy".

In Upper Silesia, the metropolitan area has announced its intentions to have trains running from Katowice to the town of Bieruń (Bieruń Stary station, to be exact) every hour once the passenger infrastructure is properly restored (and work at Katowice station is complete) in 2029. This would be an extension of some of the trains currently terminating in Tychy Lodowisko. Further extensions to Oświęcim or Mysłowice ought to be the next step: https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/gzm-pociagi-do-bierunia-beda-jezdzily-co-godzine-152753.html

During the later stages of World War II and until 1950, millions of Germans and German-speaking persons fled or were expelled from various Eastern and Central European areas. It was the largest transfer of any single ethnic population in European history.
The German population east of Oder-Neisse was estimated at over 11 million in early 1945. The first mass flight of Germans followed the Red Army's advance.

In better news, PKP PLK has determined some relatively minor work can bring the Rybnik-Chałupki line from 60 (north of Wodzisław) and 80 (south of Wodzisław) (and apparently some 30 point restrictions) to 120 km/h. Additionally, the fromer passing loop near Czyżowice (https://www.bazakolejowa.pl/index.php?dzial=stacje&id=13027&okno=start) will be rebuilt. This is expected to improve travel times by up to 4 minutes. All this over the spring, to be ready for the June timetable change (delayed due to the cold winter): https://www.rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/od-czerwca-szybciej-z-rybnika-do-chalupek--126762.html
