Władysław Weber moved to Rybnik in 1907. He took part in the 1st and 2nd Silesian Uprisings, and during the third, he was appointed the provisional mayor of the city. In 1921, he retained this position as a result of elections. It was during his reign that the new building of the City Hall was built at Bolesława Chrobrego Street, the house of the Polish Red Cross, several schools, squares, countless roads and the Fire Department. During his time, the plate of the Market Square in Rybnik was also renovated, Plac Wolności was rebuilt and the orders of Verbists and Ursulines were brought to the town. And the beautiful appearance of Rybnik was taken care of to such an extent that it became a laureate of a national competition and received the title of "the city of flowers and gardens".
Mayor Weber died in 1961, but he is remembered in Rybnik to this day.
Władysław Weber
The most famous mayor of Rybnik. He started work at 6 am with a tour of his city. Along the way, he checked the condition of roads, pavements and elevations. When he found any deficiencies, he immediately set a deadline for repairs, usually by the end of the week. The inhabitants of Rybnik loved and respected their mayor for this care for the city and for their close relations with the inhabitants.
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

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!
