These include both modern buildings and historical buildings. And this is not surprising, because this university has a long and very interesting history of its formation.

Educational institution with the richest history

The very first attempt to create this educational institution can be attributed to the distant 1505 year. It was then that Vladislav II, acting Lithuanian-Polish king, signed his decree on the creation of a higher university in Wroclaw. But, unfortunately, that time was characterized by constant conflicts and wars taking place on the territories adjacent to Wroclaw, and this idea was launched. Instead of the university in 1638, a school was opened, and already on its basis in 1702 the Jesuit Order, according to the decree of Leopold I (Roman emperor), opens a university called Leopoldina. The official opening took place in 1702, on November 15.

Wroclaw University has learned a lot of changes before becoming such an educational institution that it is today.

After the famous Seven Years' War, he lost his anti-reformist form and became by and large just a high school for the German Catholic clergy. In 1811 another reform in the sphere of education takes place, and today the Wroclaw State University began to bear the name of Friedrich-Wilhelm. At that time, it had 5 faculties: philosophy, law, medicine, Catholic theology and Protestant theology.

Post-War Reforms

Cardinal changes in this educational institution came after the end of the Second World War. After the war, the present city of Wroclaw was transferred to Poland. The German university operating on its territory, of course, was immediately closed. On its basis the new Polish state Wroclaw University was opened. Its official opening occurred in 1946, on June 9.
