Zielona Góra Główna railway station.
Geographic coordinates: 51.947N 15.511E.
The Zielona Góra station is described in the previous Chapter "PKP Zielona Góra. 2022" This chapter complements the information about an interesting city which is Zielona Góra and a large railway junction.
Zielona Góra Main Railway Station.
The station is located at 32c Dworcowa Street. You can get here by public bus transport.
The existing station building (2023) was built at the beginning of the 1960s. The station was built in a modernist style with a trapezoidal roof. The building had rich glazing. Unfortunately, modern technology has not provided good thermal insulation and the building has proved to be expensive to heat. Therefore, it was decided to carry out a general renovation. The renovation was carried out in three stages. The first stage was carried out in the period 2004-2006. The second stage was carried out in the period 2008-2009, and the last one was carried out in the period 2011-2012. The ceremonial opening took place on August 16, 2012. The renovation cost was PLN 7 million. As part of the renovation, new façades with insulation, new windows and doors were made. The entrance door is automatic. New cash desks, an information point, commercial areas (food outlet, grocery store), medical point (Pharmacy), municipal police point, new toilets, railway information, monitoring, vending machines with drinks were built.
Description of the picture: Historic railway building. The building is noteworthy, because the railway station, which stood 100 meters away to the east, looked similar. The old brick railway station in Zielona Góra operated until the beginning of the 1960s. Then it was demolished, and in its place a new, larger one was built. An almost identical post-German railway station as the one in Zielona Góra is located at the Rudna Gwizdanów railway station near Głogów. There are several similar, brick, post-German railway stations in Lower Silesia, for example in Ścinawa.
Zielona Góra.
Co-cathedral dedicated to Saint Jadwiga Śląska. ul. Mickiewicza 14, 65 - 063 Zielona Góra.
The temple was founded in the second half of the 13th century by Prince Konrad I Głogowski and was dedicated to Saint Jadwiga of Silesia, who was the founder's grandmother. The church was built from 1272, and it was completed in 1294 by Henryk Głogowczyk, son of Konrad. The founder was buried within the temple. This church is the oldest preserved monument in Zielona Góra. What is Co-Cathedral? The co-cathedral is the second church of the archdiocese or diocese, and this church is the second seat of the ordinary. Zielona Góra is the Diocese of Zielona Góra and Gorzów and the cathedral is in Gorzów Wielkopolski. We currently have 16 Catholic co-cathedrals in Poland. In 1992, with the bull Totus Tuus Poloniae Populus, Pope Saint John Paul II, as part of the reorganization of the administration of the Church in Poland, established the Zielona Góra-Gorzów diocese, moving its capital from Gorzów Wielkopolski to Zielona Góra, and the existing parish church of Saint Jadwiga Śląska on 7 June 1992, elevated to the dignity of the co-cathedral of the Diocese of Zielonogórsko-Gorzowska.
