The roundabout is situated in the Powstańców Śląskich district and measures approximately 220 meters in diameter. It comprises a three-lane roadway and a green, tree-lined area in the center.[3]
Historyedit
The circular square was first proposed in 1880 and eventually built at the end of the 19th century in the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Viertel district, based on designs by Ferdinand Alexandrer Kaumann and August Hoffmann.[1][4] The central part of the square was originally intended to be a market square, however, it was later repurposed for recreational purposes.[5]
The square was originally named Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz, after the German emperor William I. It was later renamed after the Reich President (Reichs-Präsident-Platz), and eventually, in 1934, after Paul von Hindenburg (Hindenburgplatz).[5][6]
Until about 1937, the streetcars passing through the square used the road around it. Only after the reconstruction of today's Silesian Insurgents Street into a two-lane thoroughfare with a streetcar line in the middle, the streetcars were routed through the center of the square.[5]
After the siege of Breslau, the city became a part of Poland, and the square received its modern-day Polish name.[5]
