During the pandemic, we launched a series of virtual walking tours that showcase the most interesting places in Wrzeszcz in an engaging video format. Their goal is to invite residents of Wrzeszcz, as well as people from other cities, to take tours of our neighborhood. The “Films About Wrzeszcz” series—also known as “Virtual Wrzeszcz”—showcases lesser-known spots that may inspire you to go for a walk.
Through the series “Films About Wrzeszcz: The Virtual Wrzeszcz Series,” we want to explore the district through the lens of history, architecture, and its scenic attractions. We want to explore the hidden corners of Wrzeszcz’s parks, peek inside the beautiful villas, and admire the achievements of modernist architecture. We want to follow in the footsteps of the communities that once lived here. Lectures by history experts are combined with close-ups of the district’s details and aerial views. They allow us to captivate viewers with the unique charm of Wrzeszcz and its remarkable legacy as one of Gdańsk’s oldest districts.
Videos about Wrzeszcz available online have the potential to reach a wider audience interested in the history of our district and Gdańsk.
Through this lecture series, we aim to build on the knowledge of numerous practitioners and theorists, as well as specialists in fields such as art history, sociology, urban planning, architecture, and urban history.

The Realm of the Dead in Wrzeszcz
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, cemeteries belonging to many parishes from the Main Town and Wrzeszcz were located along Wielka Aleja and in the vicinity of Gdańsk University of Technology. Although they survived World War II, today there is no trace of them left. What happened to them?
