Abstract

The article presents in a concentrated narrative the history of the University of Wrocław (Breslau), beginning with the establishment of the two-faculty Catholic Leopoldina in 1702, which, after its merger with the Protestant Viadrina, existing since 1506 in Frankfurt (Oder), became from October 19, 1811, the state University of Wrocław. In 1911, it was named the Silesian Frederick William University, and it remains the Polish University of Wrocław since 1945.
