Former publishing house of Nowiny magazine


public building Opole

Address
Opole, Jana Łangowskiego

Location
woj. opolskie, pow. Opole, gm. Opole

The Nowiny magazine was established in 1911 as the second, Polish magazine in Opole.Its establishment was determined mainly by local events, in relation to which it became a competitive newspaper to Gazeta Opolska, thus responding to the changing situation of Poles in Silesia at that time, where, according to statistics, only one in 100 residents read a Polish newspaper.

History of the structure

From June 1911 to January 1921, the Nowiny printing house was located at 10 Odrzańska Street (today’s 10 Koraszewskiego Street). In March 1920, Nowiny became a daily newspaper and changed its title to Nowiny Codzienne. In 1921, as a result of another raid of the publishing house by an organized unit of the so-called Stosstruplers, part of the printing equipment was hidden and moved to a building located in Łangowskiego Street. The destructive actions of the German militia suspended the newspaper’s work for a year. Thanks to the support and involvement of local Polish activists from Winów, it was possible to reactivate the printing house and to publish Nowiny, which from 1909 came out three times a week. Under the leadership of Antoni Pawleta and Jan Łangowski Nowiny survived until 1 September 1939, when they were liquidated by the decision of the German authorities. Currently, the building is owned by the University of Opole.

Description of the structure

The former Nowiny Publishing House building, located on Buczka-Łangowskiego Street, is situated in the central part of the city, in close proximity to the market square and St. Cross Cathedral. On the south, it adjoins St. Sebastian’s chapel, and on part of the western elevation, it adjoins the former “Rolnik” Cooperative building. It is a brick building, plastered from the outside, two-storey, without a basement, covered with a flat roof. The front elevation of the building has fifteen axes. The elevation plane in the first four axes is broken in relation to the overall mass. Rectangular window openings, lower on the level of the first floor, framed by surrounds. The east wall of the building, housing the back room, is supported by a fragment of the remains of the city walls. On the north elevation side, a single entrance to the building located in the ground floor.
