Powstańców Śląskich (district)

Poltegor Centre (formerly Poltegor) was the highest building in Wrocław. It was built in 1982 and the name originates from a mining company called Poltegor (an acronym for Polska Technika Górnicza, "Polish Mining Technics"). During the 1980s, the building was the company's headquarters, and even after that period they still occupied a fair part of the building. The building was demolished in 2007. The technology behind the building was a central ferroconcrete core, around which each floor was built. Because the floors were built using a mould, all of them were of exactly the same size and form. The core itself housed elevator shafts, staircases, and emergency and maintenance shafts. The total height was 125 metres, but the actual height to the roof was 92 metres. It consisted of 25 floors and one underground floor. The underground floor was accessed via three cargo elevators (out of the total number of 9 installed), as the floor was used only by the building's staff. The next level was the main hall of the building, from where one took an elevator. The next 22 floors were rented as office space, and the last floor was a conference hall and a sightseeing platform. On the roof there was an antenna mounted; it was used by various radio and TV broadcasters. From here, for example, the first post-Soviet, independent TV (Prywatna Telewizja "Echo") was broadcast. The antenna's last users were regional broadcasters like Radio Aplauz, Tok FM, Radiostacja, RMF Classic, and Telewizja Dolnośląska TeDe. On January 18, 2007, Poltegor Centre (along with the surrounding land) was bought by a local businessman, Leszek Czarnecki. Czarnecki decided to demolish the building, which was done on June 2, 2007. In its place, the Sky Tower was built, a 212-metre-tall apartment building, which was completed in 2012.

Sky Tower is a skyscraper in Wrocław, Poland. Construction began in December 2007 with the demolition of the 24-story Poltegor structure, until then the tallest building in the city. Sky Tower was the tallest building in Poland in the category of height to roof and category of highest floor until Varso Tower overtook it in mid-2020. A publicly accessible viewpoint is located on the 49th floor.

The Polish Theatre in Wrocław (Polish: Teatr Polski we Wrocławiu) is one of the theatres in Wrocław, Poland. The Polish Theatre in Wrocław has three stages: Small Stage on 28 Świdnicka Street, “Na Świebodzkim” Stage, situated inside Świebodzki railway station's building at 20c Orląt Lwowskich Square, and Jerzy Grzegorzewski Stage located in the Theatre's main building at 3 Zapolska Street. The main building, the result of the endeavors of a Wrocław merchant: Paul Auerbach, was designed by Berlin architect: Walter Hentschel and completed in 1909. For the standards of the time it was both very functional and technically advanced. In the early 1930s, the theatre, called Schauspielhaus in German, was the newest and, with 1736 seats, also the biggest stage in Wroclaw. Since its beginning, the theatre functioned as a musical theatre, where mostly operetta was staged. Towards the end of World War Two the theatre's building was partly damaged. The theatre's present official name is The Polish Theatre in Wrocław. The building on Zapolska Street was reconstructed in 1950, and in the same year, on February 20, it held its first premiere. The play was: A Thousand Brave Men and was written by architect Jan Rojewski. It was a socialist propagandist play about workers struggling to repair the war damage in Polish cities. For Wrocław's audience it was a completely new type of modern drama. The theatre was in use until 1994, when during the night of January 18 a fire broke out and destroyed the auditorium. The theatre was once again rebuilt, this time according to the design of Witold Jackiewicz. The play staged during the opening ceremony on May 20, 1996 was Wroclaw Improvisations, directed by Andrzej Wajda himself.
