The blacksmith the goat stands proudly in the Kuźniczka housing estate in Kędzierzyn, where blacksmithing flourished centuries ago.     

Apart from iron ore, there was an abundance of trees from ancient forests and water from the river, necessary for smelting iron. No wonder then that the place where we are now was a metallurgical basin in those centuries. This is confirmed by numerous archaeological finds.

It is known that at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the forges working here delivered goods first to the construction of the Kłodnica Canal, and then to the barges flowing through it. Later, there was also the Gliwice Canal, built in the 1930s ...

Kuźniczka did not become part of the city until 1933. Today it is one of the most attractive places to live in it. Located not far from the center, well connected with the beltway and surrounded by forests.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Project partners

Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.

Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
