State Academy of Arts and Crafts in Wroclaw

Breslau Academy on Kaiserin-Augusta-Platz (today Plac Polski) with the victory monument on a postcard from 1916

The State Academy for Arts and Crafts in Wroclaw emerged in 1911 from the Royal School of Arts and Crafts , which had already been founded on Kaiserin-Augusta-Platz in 1791, and was an important art academy in Prussia at the time . As a result of the 2nd Prussian Emergency Ordinance , the academy was closed on April 1, 1932. After the closure, classes in master workshops continued for around a year.

Its first director was Hans Poelzig , under whom the Royal Art and Trade School received the rank of academy and was now called the Royal Art and Trade Academy .
