Abstract

The history of Opole Zoological Garden reaches the beginning of the 20th century, when in the Bolko Island, shaped by the Odra river and its canals, the menagerie was founded. Present-day ZOO in Opole is a complex of modern paddocks and structures of an area of around 19 ha, integrated into the old growth of the Bolko Island. In the paper the history and stages of development of Zoological Garden in Opole are presented, the aesthetic and functional values indicated; these ones which make the garden attractive and individual.

Abstract

Pokój is a village located in the Opole voivodeship. In the 18th century a princely complex Carlsruhe was erected here, in the form of a radiant composition with a central square, gardens and parks. The place became a cultural and craft center, also a health spa since the 19th century. Destruction in 1945 interrupted this development, the former Carlsruhe became a commune village Pokój. At present three cemeteries: Evangelical, Catholic and Jewish constitute the evidence of a multicultural past of Pokój village. In the article the history of these cemeteries is presented, composition and location in the village’s layout characterized, their state of preservation studied and individual aesthetic values of each necropolis indicated.

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to study the morphogenesis and analyse the preservation of historical compositional values in the context of the process of layout transformation taking into account the radial forms of former Frederician villages in contemporary Poland. A multiple-case study was applied to five former Prussian colonies that correspond to locational and morphological criteria: Jedlice, Kup, Pokój, Nowosolna and Paproć Duża. The study employed morphological plan analysis in conjunction with the retrogressive genetic method. Research in dynamic form was based on a sequence of chronologically collated plans and historical maps. The reconstruction of the initial stage and the study of the directions of transformation and sustainability of the former spatial composition in comparative terms were the results of the research. The analysed forms are unique, i.e., very valuable in terms of their layout features. Paproć Duża is a fully preserved layout with high values in terms of the durability of its historical composition. Kup, Pokój and Nowosolna, due to a considerable morphological transformations, comprise a group of partially preserved spatial layouts, with average values, while Jedlice is an example of a poorly preserved historical layout with low compositional values.
