RULES OF ARTISTIC-VIRTUAL CITY GAME:

Łódź became the "Promised Land" for countless workers, craftsmen, but also people who wanted to make a fortune here.In this multinational, nineteenth-century city, we would find neighbours from: Germany, the Czech Republic, Russia, but also Scandinavians, Englishmen, Frenchmen, and of course Jews. All these groups, together with the Poles, formed the industrial power of Łódź!Piotrkowska, on the other hand, became a street where it was obligatory to have your own workshop or factory, and as one became richer and richer -a villa, a palace or tenement houses with apartments for rent.
Piotrkowska Street is one of the most important streets in Łódź. It was the axis of development of one of the most dynamically developing industrial centers in Europe at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Łódź changed from a wooden farming town into the village of weavers and then into the city of factories and chimneys. In less than 100 years, the number of its inhabitants increased over 600 times!
Welcome to the most famous and the longest commercial street in our city - PIOTRKOWSKA!

Initially, tram lines were not marked with numbers, but with squares, differing in colours (it was supposed to make it easier for people without any education to recognize them). There were many uneducated people in the working-class textile city.Initially, tram lines were not marked with numbers, but with squares, differing in colours (it was supposed to make it easier for people without any education to recognize them).

In the 1830s, a house was built here. It belonged to a German weaver.There was also the Evangelical school and the German Singing Society here.
We are next to the building that was important not only for the city, but also for music and the International Festival of Youth Creativity FOLK INSPIRATIONS.From the very beginning, this place was full of artistic events and multicultural atmosphere.

After the liberation of the country, the post-factory garden was transformed into a city park open to everyone.At present, we can see more than 20 natural monuments, a magnificent oak named: FABRYKANT, as well as two magnificent villas of former entrepreneurs and landowners from the Czech Republic.The biggest attraction, however, are blue, flowery carpets that cover a large part of the park area.You can admire them when the blue Siberian squills are blooming.
If we had been in the park at the beginning of the 20th century, we would have seen two mansions of industrialists from Łódź surrounded by a magnificent garden.We are talking about the brothers: Reinhold and Józef Richter, whose ancestors came to Łódź from the Czech Republic to set up their weaving workshops here.
Stop
Lodz, Klepacza Park
We reached the historic Michał Klepacz city park, full of flora and singing birds. This person’s past is also related to the multi-cultural textile center- that is, to Łódź.

Hello!My name is Fryderyk Wilhelm Schweikert. I was born near Łódź, but my father was from Germany.Going south through the park, you will see a three-storey red brick building that is over 150 meters long.This is my woolen mill. The shape of the plot on which it is located makes the building narrow and long. It resembles a tram, that is why many Łódź residents call it this way.You might find interesting that in this multicultural city, the textile factories belonging to the Frenchmen (Desurmont and Motte) were adjacent to my building.

Archcathedral Basilica of St. Stanisław Kostka is not only the highest Catholic church in Łódź, but also a great example of the effects of multicultural cooperation.The temple was built at the beginning of the 20th century, in the neo-Gothic style, on the former market square and near the first hospital for the city's inhabitants. The magnificent and slender shape of the building resembles the Notre Dame Cathedral in Chartes.Among the people who managed and financed the construction of the most important church in the city we can find not only ordinary residents, but also famous Łódź manufacturers: Catholics, Protestants, and Jews.The impressive interior of the building hides wonderful, carved, neo-Gothic altars in the Art-Deco style and much more...There is the house and the palace of the biggest factory owner in Łódź - Karol Scheibler next to this church.

There is a "double" palace of my grandsons: Karol and Emil between my house and my son's palace. It has recently regained its splendor. After a thorough renovation, there will be offices and rooms here.
And this is the palace of my son - Adolf Steinert, who took over my business (textile printing house). For some time, there was also a factory shop in the palace.
In front of us we can see the objects presenting a model example of the career development of one of the families of Łódź factory makers. They came from Germany and were connected with the textile industry – we talk about THE STEINERTERS

GREAT,WE ARE HEADING TOWARDS OUR LAST FOLK STOP
I am Ludwik Geyer and I came from Saxony as a textile printer with all my belongings.I took a risk!With time, I became a pioneer in textile production in Łódź. I started with a modest house and workshop, but I was rapidly expanding my property, occupying a large part in the city. I also invested in many other industries.Unfortunately, as the well-known proverb says: "Fortune is fickle".By investing money in not very profitable ventures, I went bankrupt, and my descendants worked for many years to get the company out of the huge crisis.My family, although of German origin, quickly settled in Łódź and was recognized as Polish patriots.The grandsons were against the harm made to their Polish neighbours (at the beginning of World War II).One of them even died, as we can learn from the memorial board on my WHITE FACTORY.

My monumental WHITE FACTORY was established in the 1830s and it was the first real factory in Łódź.The first working steam engine in the city was here. It was also here that the first factory chimney in Łódź was built.Currently, there is Central Museum of Textiles in my factory (closely related to the history of this city). You can see not only historical interiors and machines, but also over a thousand fabrics: historic, contemporary and folk. Outdoor events and concerts are also organized in the courtyard. At the back of the building, we will also see weavers' houses and wooden villas, protected from destruction and oblivion, related to the development of the industrial fortunes of Łódź. During workshops and exhibitions we will learn about the life of ordinary people in this unusual, multicultural and rapidly changing industrial city.And here is the final, creative task for you,at the end of our festival tram tour
