History of Wroclaw: Napoleonic Wars

The Euro Cup ended and it is the moment for continued our trip around the Wroclaw’s History. This blog isn’t a football blog and I spoke about that because it was an important event among Spain and Poland. And my country gave a lesson of good football and our selection made History.

Breslau was occupied during the Napoleonic Wars by an army of the Confederation of the Rhine. The fortifications of the city were leveled and monasteries and cloisters were secularised. The protestant Viadrina University of Frankfurt was recolocated to Wroclaw in 1811 and united with the local Jesuits University to create the new Silesian Frederick – William University ( now University of Wroclaw our University in few months). The City played an important role against Napoleonic Power.  Wroclaw became the centre of the German liberation against Napoleon, and the gathering place for volunteers from all over Germany. The city was the centre of Prussian mobilisation for the campaign which ended at Leipzig.
