Breslau of the Guilds, 1500
This is Breslau at the height of its late‑Medieval guild economy: a compact Silesian trade city straddling braided channels of the Oder. The walk moves from the low river approaches into the great Rynek with its carved town hall and cloth halls, then across wooden bridges to Cathedral Island with its clustered Gothic spires, mills and river quays lined with granaries.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Wrocław as it stood in 1500 (“History of Wrocław”).
