It’s a journey back in time to the wartime of Wroclaw in 1945. We start the walk at the market square in Wroclaw. The market square and the town hall were not destroyed during war operations. Then we go to the beautiful salt market, under the square there were powerful anti-aircraft shelters. After about a dozen minutes we reach Liebich’s-Hoehe, the place where the mighty concrete shelter of the headquarters of the Breslau Fortress was located. During the Second World War, until March 14, 1945, it was the command station of the second commander of the Breslau Fortress - Hans von Ahlbert. The main train station is near the bunker. The Germans built a system of concrete shelters beneath this building, and their remains can still be seen today. At the train station we get on the tram and head towards Neumarkt and Dominsel. This is where the destruction of the war was greatest, as you can see in the old photos from the cathedral’s viewing platform.
