Karl Friedrich Schinkel is an outstanding and respected architect, painter, town planner and designer, creator of classicism in architecture and painting in the then Kingdom of Prussia. We can admire the achievements of his work in many places in Europe.
In Popielów, however, the idea of creating the Karl Schinkel trail was born. It leads through ten architectural pearls of the Opolskie Voivodeship. All this to bring closer the heritage of this famous architect and painter.
Schinkel's works of Popielów are historic churches: in Kurznie from 1813 and in Stare Siołkowice from 1825.
Schinkel's works show the influence of Friedrich Gilly's classicism. Its clear forms, in opposition to the baroque convexities and concavities, perfectly reflected the spirit of Prussian classicism. In contrast to the Empire style associated with the recent French occupiers, Schinkel's designs alluded to Greek rather than Roman architecture. The architect is considered to be one of the protagonists of the Greek revival trend.
Schinkel Trail
Schinkel's greatest works can still be admired today mainly in Berlin. These include the theater building at the Gendarmenmarkt or the famous Altes Museum building on the Museum Island. This famous architect also left his mark in the Popielów Commune and in the entire Opole region.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
