NOWA HUTA – MEETING WITH A SOCIALIST CRACOW

After the Second World War Poland found itself in the Soviet sphere of influence. At the end of 1947 a decision was made by Polish and Soviet authorities to build a proletarian city, which would serve as a counterweight to Cracow. This decision was taken because many of the Cracow’s inhabitants expressed their lack of support towards the new regime during the 1946 referendum. The area of two villages, Pleszów and Mogiła, located eastwards from Poland’s former capital was chosen. Unfortunately, this meant that Cracow’s most fertile soils were destroyed. It is worth mentioning that, in Mogiła we can still see one of the oldest (built in 1222) cistercian abbeys.

It all began with the construction of a steel mill, which would later become one of the biggest in Poland, more than 36.000 persons worked there. In the month of June of 1949 the construction of the first houses began, even before a complete plan of the city by Tadeusz Ptaszycki was finalised...
