Park Paderewskiego
The Paderewskiego Park (until 1945: Georg-Wiesner-Park ) is a green area in the town of Zgorzelec in the Polish part of Upper Lusatia . The park is named after the Polish pianist, composer and politician Ignacy Jan Paderewski . It extends as a narrow band between Ulica Tadeusza Kościuszki in the west and the railway station Zgorzelec Miasto east. Due to the newer development, the park tapers in an easterly direction and ends in a roundabout with the so-called amphitheater , an open-air stage on the Węgliniec – Görlitz railway line . Several streets cut through the park, which runs in a west-east direction. From west to east, Ulica Fryderyka Chopina, Ulica Stanisława Moniuszki, Ulica Karola Szymanowskiego, Ulica Henryka Wieniawskiego, Ulica Józefa Poniatowskiego and Ulica Mieczysława Karłowicza cross the park.
The park was created between 1929 and 1931 with the surrounding settlement. The settlement and the park were then part of the Görlitzer Gartenvorstadt and connected to the settlement on Rabenberg. The park was then called Georg-Wiesner-Park and was named after the Lord Mayor of Görlitz, Georg Wiesner , who died in the spring of 1931.
In the design plan for the area from 1927, the park was already marked as a projected facility. Until 1935, the buildings were built on Beethovenstraße ( Ulica Fryderyka Chopina ) and partly on Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße ( Ulica Stanisława Moniuszki ). Between 1935 and 1938, the rest of the houses followed in the northern part of Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße and on Mozartstraße ( Ulica Karola Szymanowskiego ). Further development was suspended due to the outbreak of war. After the end of the Second World War , the areas east of the Lusatian Neisse passed to Poland. An independent Polish city emerged from the east town of Görlitz - Zgorzelec. The development plans from 1927 were adapted to the new requirements and the eastern part of the park was built over with prefabricated blocks of flats . The planned streets crossing the park in the eastern part of the green area were also not implemented according to the construction plan. However, the streets bear the names of famous composers even after the renaming.
