Otwarcie Ogródka Jordanowskiego - Warszawa 1937
Film z roku 1937. Może ktoś rozpozna gdzie to jest? W tle widać budynki miasta.
Ogródek Jordanowski - nazwa pochodzi od nazwiska lekarza Henryka Jordana, pomysłodawcy i założyciela pierwszego ogrodu tego typu w Krakowie. Miasto to znajdowało się wówczas pod zaborem austriackim, co ma ogromne znaczenie dla zrozumienia idei Jordana, którą było założenie specjalnie dla dzieci i młodzieży ogrodu (parku) wypoczynku i zabawy bogatego w polskie wątki patriotyczne. Wzorcowym ogrodem tego typu jest istniejący i działający do dzisiaj pod nazwą Park Miejski dra Henryka Jordana, założony w 1889 roku na powierzchni ok. 22 ha.
Pomysł Jordana szybko znalazł akceptację społeczeństwa i w krótkim czasie powstało wiele podobnych ogrodów, które chętnie zakładano aż do wybuchu II wojny światowej. Równocześnie powstawały ogrody Raua. W czasach PRL całkowicie zaprzestano zakładania kosztownych ogrodów jordanowskich, ograniczając powierzchnię kilkuhektarowych ogrodów dla dzieci do znanych współcześnie placów zabaw, pozbawionych najczęściej zieleni.
Ogrody Jordana stwarzały dzieciom i młodzieży warunki sprzyjające ich pełnemu rozwojowi fizycznemu, społecznemu i psychicznemu. Były w nich miejsca do zabaw zespołowych i sprawnościowych, ale również części tematyczne. Obok boisk i basenów budowano pawilony i sale do zabaw, zajęć świetlicowych.
Ogrody jordanowskie to kraina, którą dzieci mogły same kształtować współcześnie tego typu tereny zabaw dla dzieci zwane są robinsonadami.
Dzisiejsze tereny zabaw dla dzieci, chociaż nazywane ogrodami jordanowskimi, pod względem kompozycji niewiele mają wspólnego z pierwotną formą Parku Jordana wyrażają jednak tę samą troskę o zdrowie i prawidłowy rozwój dzieci i młodzieży. Pozostało niewiele ogrodów zachowujących ten pierwotny charakter: w Warszawie np. 3 ogród Jordanowski przy ul. 3 maja, w Krakowie i jeden w Poznaniu przy placu Nowakowskiego, utworzony po wojnie (nazwy pozostawiono). Także w Szczecinie znajduje się ogród jordanowski który pozostaje tylko placem zabaw.
Ogrody jordanowskie w Polsce są ewenementem w skali świata, głównie ze względu na pomysł założenia ogrodu wyłącznie dla dzieci i młodzieży, co w wielowiekowej kulturze Europy do końca XIX wieku nie miało miejsca. Równie ważna była nauka młodych Polaków mieszkających w Galicji o prawdziwej historii ich przodków.

SUMMARY
=======
Kraków (UK: , US: ; Polish: [ˈkrakuf] (listen)), also spelled Cracow or Krakow, is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Vistula River in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century. Kraków was the official capital of Poland until 1596 and has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, economic, cultural and artistic life. Cited as one of Europe's most beautiful cities, its Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city has grown from a Stone Age settlement to Poland's second most important city. It began as a hamlet on Wawel Hill and was already being reported as a busy trading centre of Central Europe in 965. With the establishment of new universities and cultural venues at the emergence of the Second Polish Republic in 1918 and throughout the 20th century, Kraków reaffirmed its role as a major national academic and artistic centre. The city has a population of about 770,000, with approximately 8 million additional people living within a 100 km (62 mi) radius of its main square.After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany at the start of World War II, the newly defined Distrikt Krakau (Kraków District) became the capital of Germany's General Government. The Jewish population of the city was forced into a walled zone known as the Kraków Ghetto, from which they were sent to German extermination camps such as the nearby Auschwitz never to return, and the Nazi concentration camps like Płaszów.In 1978, Karol Wojtyła, archbishop of Kraków, was elevated to the papacy as Pope John Paul II—the first Slavic pope ever, and the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. Also that year, UNESCO approved the first ever sites for its new World Heritage List, including the entire Old Town in inscribing Kraków's Historic Centre. Kraków is classified as a global city with the ranking of high sufficiency by GaWC. Its extensive cultural heritage across the epochs of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture includes the Wawel Cathedral and the Royal Castle on the banks of the Vistula, the St. Mary's Basilica, Saints Peter and Paul Church and the largest medieval market square in Europe, the Rynek Główny. Kraków is home to Jagiellonian University, one of the oldest universities in the world and traditionally Poland's most reputable institution of higher learning.
In 2000, Kraków was named European Capital of Culture. In 2013 Kraków was officially approved as a UNESCO City of Literature. The city hosted the World Youth Day in July 2016.

SUMMARY

Lviv (Ukrainian: Львів [lʲwiu̯] (listen); Old East Slavic: Львіхород; Polish: Lwów [lvuf] (listen); Russian: Львов, romanized: Lvov [lʲvof]; German: Lemberg; Latin: Leopolis; see also other names) is the largest city in western Ukraine and the seventh-largest city in the country overall, with a population of 724,713 as of January 2019. Lviv is one of the main cultural centres of Ukraine.
Named in honour of Leo, the eldest son of Daniel, King of Ruthenia, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia (also called the Kingdom of Ruthenia) from 1272 to 1349, when it was conquered by King Casimir III the Great who then became known as the King of Poland and Ruthenia. From 1434, it was the regional capital of the Ruthenian Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland. In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland, the city became the capital of the Habsburg Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. In 1918, for a short time, it was the capital of the West Ukrainian People's Republic. Between the wars, the city was the centre of the Lwów Voivodeship in the Second Polish Republic.
After the German-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, Lviv became part of the Soviet Union, and in 1944–46 there was a population exchange between Poland and Soviet Ukraine. In 1991, it became part of the independent nation of Ukraine.
Administratively, Lviv serves as the administrative centre of Lviv Oblast and has the status of city of oblast significance.
Lviv was the centre of the historical regions of Red Ruthenia and Galicia. The historical heart of the city, with its old buildings and cobblestone streets, survived Soviet and German occupations during World War II largely unscathed. The city has many industries and institutions of higher education such as Lviv University and Lviv Polytechnic. Lviv is also the home of many cultural institutions, including a philharmonic orchestra and the Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The histori ...
