Hello everyone,
I’m happy that you here with me to listen my presentation.

Because I was under big influence on last Kasia’s presentation and because I don’t have such a great number of photos in my dormitory house I would like to show you a places connected with myself and If we have enough time. I’ll tell you about some other interesting places. Maybe it’s not original idea but because each place is different and has different history I hope this presentation will be master and you will be overjoyed. First I present you history, I will try to do it as short as I can and than I surprise you with some curious information.

My hometown is Braniewo where I was born. It’s in the north-east part of Poland, about 400 km from Poznań. As you can see on this little map it’s near the Russian border, about 10 km from Kalingrad district. We even have cases that some careless people cross the border by accident, for example they are in the forest and they are captured and imprisoned by Russian army as an spy or agent. So it’s very dangerous to go there to the forest.

Braniewo is also 10 km from Vistula bay. It’s not a sea. The nearest seaside resort is about 80km away and it’s Stegna. On this Vistula Bay we’ve got a surfing school and each year in the summer time more and more people come there to learn how to surf. And this pace is really created for people who begin their adventure with surfing because the bay is shallow so it is very safe. Wind is quite constant so it is ideal and each year water is cleaner. I think you should try it.

People think that everything what is in the northern-east part of Poland belongs to Mazury. Maybe nowadays there is no difference between this two lands. But there were lots of differences in the old times. I’m not from Mazury. I’m from Warmia. Maybe someone of you know what’s the difference between Mazury and Warmia? None? Ok
Firstly in Warmia lived pagan Prussian Warmia tribes and there were no Mazury tribes and for the first time name Mazury was used just in nineteenth century.
Secondly when teutonic order killed all pagan this land was catholic and Mazury were Protestant.
And thirdly it ‘s only my observation. In Warmia you’ve got lots of small old beautiful gothic castles and cathedrals and in Mazury you’ve got marvelous landscapes with lakes.

Braniewo is the oldest town of Warmia grounded in thirteenth century and it was the first capital of Warmia. In the beginning here lived Prussian tribes later Teutonic Order and Bishops of Warmia.

Children at school on history lessons learn that in sixteenth century bishop Stanisław Hozjusz brought Company of Jesus to Poland, and the first place where he brought them and where he found his collegium was Braniewo. So it was important place of culture and religion.

Here we can see crest of the city. Dragon is a symbol of paganism and deer a symbol of Christianity. They have gold elements because they are royal animals and they are under lime – tree. This crest symbolizes existing of two religions on this land. And they are red because red is a color of Warmia. The name Warmia means red land.

That’s all with old history.

Now something about modern history. Do you remember this beer ? I remember it very well because I lived opposite this brewery where the production of EB took place and it is very sad for me to talk about it. EB and Special were produced in Braniewo and in Elbląg. In 1993 investors from Australia bought this two breweries and started production of EB and then Special. These two letters are a first letters from name of the town where beer was produced E – Elbląg, B – Braniewo. Here we can see some animals – kangaroo and ostrich – symbols of Australia.
In 1995 brewery in Braniewo was most modern and the best brewery in Poland. Probably from 1993 to 1998 EB was the most popular beer in Poland.
But then, oddly enough in 1998 investors from Australia for which brewery belonged to decided sold it to Żywiec Group. They said that it was some kind of merger but everyone knew that it is not a merger but takeover. Some people said that Żywiec wanted to stop production from the beginning because it was unprofitable and they had enough of their own breweries.
Others said that they try save this brand and that’s why they spend fifty millions zloty on commercial with Jan Reno but they don’t have good strategy. So in 2001 they stopped production and they closed this brewery. So we can say it collapsed.

It was quite modern brewery with new facilities so they dismantled this facilities and put into their own breweries or some other parts they sold to scrap yard.
I’ve got a short 3 minutes film about this situation from 2001 but it’s in polish, if someone is interested I can show it later ?

But from the very beginning all this enterprise was one big scram. And I’m sure that you could make a really great movie about it.
Tony Oates the founder of EB was some kind of magician in the world of business. He was sought in Australia for tax fraud more than 100 mln $. So he fled to Poland in 1991 to avoid Australian law and he started new life and new business. I think he’s a really smart guy but he’s a swindler.

Brewery was closed for about 5 years until in 2006 an investor from Elbląg bought this brewery and started producing new bear- Barkas.
After two months of its existence on the market Żywiec Group brought an action against Barkas because it had similar label to special. They accused Barkas that it impersonates to the well known brand and that it is hard for a common customer to see the difference and to distinguish this two kinds of beer. After a year Żywiec Group won the trial, the brewery collapsed for the third time.
Earlier it collapsed for the second time in 2003 when Dr.Witt wanted to produce juices there but they couldn’t achieve an agreement with our authorities. What’s more our water is very good and it don’t need additional treatment that’s why production of drinks from the health point of view is profitable. Nowadays of course brewery doesn’t work Some people said that Kulczyk bought brewery but it’s only a gossip. This gossip is not pointless because in this year Kulczyk bought our local big cross-border company and now in this area he controls 16% of Russian import especially based on coal and artificials.

That’s all about industry.

I beat that you know where the biggest zoo in Poland is. It’s Wrocław that’s right. But did you ever think where the smallest zoo in Poland is? Of course it’s in Braniewo. It’s the smallest zoo in Poland and the only one zoo in all Warmińsko – Mazurskie voivodship. It’s almost in the center of the city and it was grounded in 1955. It’s near the cathedral and our local priest wanted to shut down this zoo because when he prayed in a church with worshippers often lions roared or goats bleated. We have had a referendum about this issue and people decided not to close the zoo. It’s probably the smallest zoo in the Europe I think and we have normal exotic animals – tiger, monkyes, dingo dog. My grandmother works there. Nowadays I would like to close down this zoo too because animals there are so skinny, they don’t have enough space, they are sad and they have many diseases.

I’ve got question for you. All of you know that Mikołaj Kopernik was born in Toruń, but do you know where he spend most of his life - about thirty-three year until he died? And in this place he made his biggest discoveries. Not in Braniewo, but in very small city 10 km away from Braniewo. It’s Frombork. In Toruń they called everything what they can as a Kopernik, Kopernik hotels, Kopernik university, Kopernik ginger cakes. That’s why when people here about Kopernik they think about Toruń. But the truth is he was born there an spend there his childhood. All his works and tools of work are in museum of Mikołaj Kopernik in Frombork, there is a lots of interesting things. There was a time when his biggest life’s work was in frombork but now it’s in Jagieloński university.

In my place there is more interesting places things to see and we’ve got lots of beautiful legends but we don’t have enough time to speak about all of them. I’m sad that this places aren’t promoted well actually they aren’t promoted at all. The only visitors in Frombork and Braniewo are old mean Germans. I’ve got a friend who works in restaurant in the summertime and she said that they always have lots of problems with old Germans because they don’t want to pay. They eat a dish, they say it was tasteless and that they don’t want to pay, or they can eat and then they rune away from this restaurant. If they tip it’s 20groszy or maximum 50 groszy.

Old Germans aren’t enough that’s why I think authorities should promote this area. And I invite you to come see and have a great time. Everything there is very cheep, you can have a really great time.
