Situated at a long existing commerce neighborhood, a metropolis was original recorded in the 10th century as Vratislavia (Wratislaw) (the origin of its various later names) after Vratislav I (Wratislaw), nobleman of Bohemia (915-921). The community was conquered by the Polish duke Mieszko I in the 990s. Already a place of some value, it became the capital of Silesia in 1138, where Silesians had founded a colony south of the stream.
During Mongol entrance in 1241 most of the population of the city was evacuated. colony was then destroyed and burned by Mongols, but they had no time to blockade the palace where rest of burghers found refugee.
Documents of the time classify to the municipality by many variants of the name, including Bresslau, Presslau, Breslau and Latin Wratislaw. The rebuiled Breslau town was given Magdeburg Rights in 1262. The first graphics of the city was publicised in the Schedelsche Weltchronik in 1493.
Under direct overlordship of the Holy Roman Empire the emperors granted politics positions to members of various ducal and royal dynasties. The city was a member of the Hanseatic League of northern European trading cities. In 1335 it was along with the almost entire province of Silesia incorporated into the Kingdom of Bohemia and was part of it until 1740s, from 1526 under Habsburg dynasty all incessantly part of the H.R.E.
The overpowering legal age of the inhabitants became Protestants during the Reformation, but were forcibly strangled during the Catholic Reformation by the Jesuits, running with the support of the Habsburg rulers.
And some news, not so good:
“Wroclaw is a adorable and pleasant city but beaded in graffiti, trash and dog poop. Why aren’t there laws to deal with these issues. I loved the Rynek but then I took two steps into a passage way and it was scary with all the graffiti on the walls, doors, and windows. Maybe in time this will change. I hope so.”
