Beskrivning
Discover the Gdańsk Shipyard, birthplace of the Solidarity movement. Explore the history of workers’ protests, the struggle for freedom and the fall of communism in Europe.
Step into the Gdańsk Shipyard, a place where workers’ protests helped change the course of European history. This is where Solidarity, the independent trade union that challenged communist rule in Poland, emerged and became a powerful force for change.
Your journey begins at Solidarity Square, beside the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970. Discover the story behind its three towering crosses and anchors, and learn why the monument became a symbol of remembrance and the struggle for freedom.
As you walk through the historic shipyard, uncover the events that led to the rise of Solidarity in 1980. Find out how workers organised strikes, demanded their rights and challenged the communist authorities - and how their movement inspired change far beyond Poland’s borders.
But the shipyard’s story goes beyond politics. Explore its industrial heritage, see the cranes and historic buildings that defined this working landscape, and discover how the area has changed since the fall of communism. Once a centre of heavy industry, the shipyard is now a place where traces of the past meet new creative spaces, culture and urban life.
Join Walkative’s local guides to discover the people, places and events behind one of the most significant movements in modern European history. Learn how a struggle that began among shipyard workers helped reshape Poland and contributed to the end of communist rule in Europe.
