Today, the inhabitants of the capital of Lower Silesia make them mainly in numerous Wrocław and Wrocław shopping centers and galleries. And how was it before? In addition to several luxury department stores in pre-war Breslau, there were swarms of shops, shops and stalls. The real trade revolution was triggered by the opening of the first Silesian Market Hall. Joanna Lamparska will tell you about its history and secrets. At first glance, the Wrocław Market Hall may be associated with a medieval stronghold or a church. This association is not at all unfounded, because the hall was built on the site of the fourteenth-century manor of the Lubuski bishops, which at the beginning of the sixteenth century was rebuilt into an arsenal, which was called "sand". Interestingly, in the cellars of the hall, fragments of its walls and a few spheres dug out while building foundations can be found today. What are the secrets of the Wrocław hall? Hala Targowa in Wrocław (responsible for Market Hall No. 1, German Markthalle Nummer 1) - built according to the design of Richard Plüddemann and Heinrich Küster in the years 1906-1908 [a]. It is located at ul. Piaskowa (Sandstraße), at the confluence with pl. Nankiera (Ritterplatz) and ul. St. Ducha (Heiligegeiststraße), in the immediate vicinity of the Piasek Island, the Piaskowa Bridge and the oldest districts of the city. The hall is a valuable monument of engineering art. Market Hall No. I was erected for organizing trade in the city center, which was previously held, among others on Nowy Targ. Almost identical Hala Targowa II of the same designers was established at the same time at ul. Kolejowa, but after a serious damage in 1945 was demolished in 1973. Before that, there was the fourteenth-century manor of the Lubuski bishops at the site of Hall no. 1, which at the beginning of the 16th century was rebuilt into the Arsenal of Piaskowa. The plot of the arsenal, belonging from 1511 to the city, was enlarged in 1889 by purchasing neighboring houses with the intention of erecting a market hall. The decision on the city's investment importantly postponed many times, it was finally taken on February 19, 1901, and the project works were commenced. On October 1, 1905, the demolition of the arsenal and neighboring houses began. Later, stone cannonballs found during the earthworks were laid in the northern façade of the hall to commemorate the previous destination of this place. In the autumn of 1906, the construction of a hall with a reinforced concrete basement structure and originally planned steel roof trusses was started. Construction work on foundations and basement level was initially carried out by Theodor Hülssner from Leipzig. In connection with the proposal of companies building both halls and cost comparisons, it was decided to redesign the structure using reinforced concrete instead of steel. The Lolat-Eisenbeton from Wrocław won the tender again [b]. On October 5, 1908, the hall was opened for use. On three sides, the Hall adjoins the streets, only from the south it is built into neighboring buildings, partly created as the administrative center of Hall. The north elevation is accentuated with two towers referring to the former defensive function of this place, with the higher north-west tower once holding a clock (today closed). The interior is solved axially and has a basilica layout with the main nave in the east-west direction, with lower flat roof aisles and three lateral naves on both sides - two from the north and one longer from the south. In the aisles on the level of the floor there is a gallery circulating the main nave. Heinrich Küster's hall cover, supported in the main aisle on reinforced parabolic arches with a spacing of 20.65 m and a height exceeding 17 m, is a pioneer engineering achievement in the world. The basement of the hall houses cellars up to 3.7 meters high. The outer garment of the brick wall building with sparingly used stone detail, inspired by the Berlin exchange in Berlin, has the characteristics of medievalism trending back to the Middle Ages, while the interior is already completely modernist. The building was not seriously damaged by military operations in 1945 and practically immediately after the war it was used as intended. It underwent a thorough renovation in 1980-1983 and since then it has been one of the largest exhibition places in the entire city.
