ABOUT US
HAUS SCHLESIEN came into existence as the place in Germany, where the attachment to the homeland and the need for a remembrance site for the displaced Silesian people found real manifestation.
50 Years later and following fundamentally changed relations within the European neighbourhood, HAUS SCHLESIEN is today an authentic memorial site and a centre for information and education. Sponsored by the German government, the Documentation and Information Centre explains through events and exhibitions this European cultural landscape influenced by German culture and draws attention to the changing history of Silesia and its Silesian people with their different languages and nationalities.
HAUS SCHLESIEN with its event rooms, guest rooms and catering is open to all interested parties and is the ideal location for individuals or groups, for short stays, expert meetings over several days, or for family celebrations.
