ceramics city bunzlau / boleslawiec, silesia, PL

bunzlau DE (= boleslawiec PL) in lower silesia (niederschlesien DE, slansk dolny PL) was a nice stop-over for a dinner at our way from freiberg DE to lodz PL => enjoy few insights + pictures 😇

we've had few reasons to stop here:

• we don't like to eat in the higway restaurants or at petrol stations
• bunzlau was somehow half the way to lodz
• our eldest daughter lives in the bunzlauer street in munich
• our former car (skoda octavia) was produced in jungbunzlau (= young bunzlau, mlada boleslav) in the czech republic, CZ
• i hoped to learn why is bunzlau from german language translated as boleslav to czech and as boleslawiec to polish language. it even doesn't sound similar, if you asked me. unfortunately, i found no answer to this question. wikipedia provides only the names itself in all these languages
• our karma thought we should learn that bunzlau was and still is a ceramics city (bunzlauer keramik) + that it was the first german city which built a canalization (in 1565). don't worry, there will be no picture of that medieval canalization, my dears.

enough reasons to stop by, wouldn't you say? 😊

enjoy few pictures:
