1. PIThe city of Lodz, capital of Lodz county, also has the status of a county because
it is the second largest town in Poland. Before world war II, its number of in-
habitants was around 672,000; according to official Warsaw data the present number
195 of the population is already over 700,000. The future population increase,
however, is projected on a relatively small scale when compared with other Polish
towns. Thus, it is estimated that in 1970 the number of Lodz inhabitants will not
be higher than 800,000 which is only around 12% increase over a period of 15 tears
while within the same period of time, Warsaw will double its population figure, and
Krakow will increase it by more than 50%.
Growth d Expansion
2. "Lodz is a city that was created and also grew up within a very short time. In
1820, it was still a small settlem at with only 800 inhabitants. Some years later
as a result of the establishment of 'the first textile factories and workshops in
Lodz, the settlement changed its status to that of a small town and from then on
grew up quickly comparable to American expansion. This American-like speed in
expansion and growth is t

y evident in the population figures and number of
plants, factories, and workshops, but also it is evident from the type of town
layout which differs completely from, that customary to nearly all towns of Central
Europe. Seen from the air, the Lodz city 100kB like an American city. Its street-
net is very regular. The streets run straight from south to north and from east
to west forming regular squares with Piotrkowska Street (over four kilometers long)
representing a kind of spine. On both ends, north and south, (Piotrkowska'Street
follows almost exactly the parallels of latitude) the streets are shaped into a kind

of feather-tuft connecting the city of Lodz with neighboring towns.
Railroad Communication
3- "The whole area of the city (nearly 212 square-kilometers according to 1949 data)
is encircled by two. railway lines. From both lines, branch-offs lead almost to
the very center of the city, to the two railway stations: Lodz Fabryczna in the
east and Lodz Taliska in the west, and to the larger industrial plants.
Administration and Trade Center Location
4-. "The Lodz administration and-trade center is concentrated around Piotrkowska
Street in the rectangle formed by the following streets:
from the north: Ogrodowa.and Polnocna Streets
from the east: Silinskiego Street
from the south: Stalina Street (formerly: Glowna Street)
from the wrest: Gdanska Street.
As Lodz was primarily developed as an industrial city, the definition of administra-
tion and trade center cannot be taken too literally. Even in downtown Lodz, one
can still find a good number of even larger industrial plants, especially along
Wolczanska or Sienkiewicza Streets.
World War II
Damages
5. "During World War II, Lodz was only very slightly damaged. The city, together with
the so-called Wartheland area, was incorporated into the German Reich in 1939.
Later it was considered by the German occupation authorities as a proper German
town (then under the name Litzmannstadt, so named after General Litzmann who in the
beginning of World War I smashed the Soviet Army in this area). Before World War II,
Lodz had a large Jewish-population, but in the early part of World War II, the Jews
were locked up in.the ghetto and later liquidated in the concentration camps. A
.high percentage of Polish people was resettled in Central Polish territories or taken
for compulsory labor to Germany. In Lodz new German settlers were colonized (mainly
repatriates) from towns in Transylvania or the Banat. Specialists in industry were
brought here from Germany...
Results of German Occu ation
"The German occupation authorities consolidated numerous small and medium sized fac-
tories and workshops (specially of Jewish ownership). Also the character of several
factories was changed when, for example, several textile plants were switched to the
production of armament, such as the textile plant of the French Rousseau concern which
was placed under the Junkers armament industry. The importance that Lodz had gained
from the German war prociuc-Lion saved it from destruction through the German occupation
authorities. The Soviet 'Blitz' offensive also was another reason that the town
evaded great destruction.
Post-World War II G es
7. "After World War II, since Lodz was the largest town situated in the center of the
country and since it was relatively close to the destroyed traditional capital of
Warsaw, it was made the provisional seat for the central boards of the Communist
political and administra't ve authorities. This fact once more saved Lodz from being
dismantled, this time by'the Soviet Army. Irrespective of a few burned out plants,
Lodz resumed its production in the first half of 1945 not only in the textile field
but also in the electrical azd metallurgical branches that had retained in their
possession from war times abundant stocks of raw materials.
~. "By playing the role of provisional capital, Lodz in the first post-World War II
period was also the cultural center of the country. Lacking a university before
World War II, Lodz became a university town 'by proxy' of Warsaw. The majority of
these universities re
. mained thereafter. in Lodz so that there are in. the tow at
present 10 different universities and academies wit1 around 15,000 students. In
In 1945-1946 the center of .press and propaganda also grew ur in Lodz, bat--it was

later completely transferred to Warsaw along with the various ministries and
political organizations.
"Thriving as the 'Polish Manchester', Lodz was the main center of the textile in-
dustry in pre-World War II Poland. Together with the suburban area (Zgierz,
Pabianice, Turek, etc.) over 55% of the entire Polish textile production was con-
centrated in Lodz. This position was also retained by Lodz after World War II
even though besides the traditional Polish textile centers in Bielsko Biala,
Bialystok and Sosnowiec-Czestochowa, Poland's textile industry gained a new center
in Lower Silesia: Cotton: Walbrzych (German: Waldenburg) p Nawa Ruda (German:
Neurode) and Bielawa (German: Langenbielau); Wool: Zielona Gora (German:
Gruenberg), Zagan (German: Sagan), and Krosno (German: Crossen a.d. 0. Lsi J;
Flax: in the southern Sudeten.
10. "Warsaw statistics of 19+8 made the following distribution of the approximately
300,000 workers engaged in textile production:
in the Lodz area: approximately 175,000
in the area of Lower Silesia: Approximately 60,000
in the Bielsko~p iala area: approximately 30,000
11. "The traditional wool center in Bialystok which was nearly completely destroyed
during World War II has not yet been rebuilt. The number of workers there has
been largely decreased leaving only some hundreds under employment in branch aiJ. The
figures of employed workers in the textile industry published in 1950-51 show an
increase from 300,000 to 360,000. As. the investments in the textile branch were
realized chiefly after these years, it can be well assumed that also within this
increase Lodz retained its leading position. This position might, however, be
shaken to some.extent along with the,new.investments. that are presently under reali-
zation. It can be observed that the.majority of new investments lie outside of the
city of Lodz..In its suburban area. In Lodz . itself. only a few enterprises were en-
larged such as a new weaving mill added.,to.the I rchlewskiego plant, a new spinning
mill joined to the Armi.i. Ludowe j plant, and the rebuilding of the Kasprzaka plant
which was destroyed during World War 110 Simultaneously, the following main invest-
ments have already been completed or are under Bray respectively:
in Piotrkow: the cotton combinate
in Bielawa (German: Langenbielaix): a spinning mill for artificial fiber
in Zambrow, Fasty and,Walily (all.. in the Bialystok county): a large
combined cotton concern
in Andrychow: a 1ar,;oo'ton spinning mill
in Swierkow near Goozow.(Grman: Landsberg/Warthe): a weaving mill for
artificial fiber .
in Czestochowa: reconstruction .of the wool plant Stradom, destroyed
during World War Ix
in Kalisz: brushwaM factory
in Szczytno (German: Ortelsberg): flax spinning and weaving mill.
12. "Apart from the aforementioned plants that are either already set into operation or
in their advanced phase,of construction, there are plans to build further textile
factories in Ilawa (German Eulau, Lower Silesia) in Koscierzyna (in Pommerania)
and in Losuza (in Bialystok county). All these plans show the tendency to decon-
centrate the Lodz, textile industry. As a consequence the production costs will be
increased as the traditional centers in Lodz or other regions were equipped with
auxiliary industrial and technical installations. In all of these centers, the
main factories for textile machinery,, spare parts and tools are concentrated. Also,
a number-of-repair and.overhauling workshops are established in these places.
Although on the other band, the new enterprises will be equipped with modern installa-
tions., it must be.mentioned that'this will not be of too much avail. The Lodz
textile industry twice underwent-what can be called modernization processes, once
curing the German occupation which left only the better equipped enterprises-.in
operation, and the second time during the nationalization1rive in"the.plants
carried out by the Polish Cammunist regime. As a result the equipment of the Lodz
textile-industry can be generally considered as quite modern.

"The expwision aNd modernization of the textile industry can be hardly ob-
served on the doi,~e'stiQ tuarke-6 for textile goods. Although since the middle
of 1953 the situation 1 s somewhat improved, -there are still shortages of
variousrnaterials. a high per-
centage of her production is going to the USSR. The USSR, as the wain
present supplier of raw material especially cotton,, is, re-exporting this cotton
after fabrication.] I between Poland and the USSR, there is
an agreement existing on the ,refined turnover of textile raw materials and
merchanciise? the quality of Soviet cotton is ,quite
good but still some imports of first-class quality cotton are coming from
Rgy~at,-, razi~ India and, Pakistan. Wool which is covered by domestic ,pro-
duction only 4.P to around 10% of the requirements of the Polish wool industry
is imported in the first place from Australia and other British Dominions
just as before World War II. From the pre-World War II supplier list,
Argentina has nearly fully disappeared now.
"Lai-';e amounts of money are invested from state sources in the expansion of
the flax and hemp plantation. The state is going to organize a domestic
raw material base. Before World War II, hemp and flax were cultivated in
around 70% of the eastern Polish territories that were incorporated, In 1945
into the USSR. In fact, Poland was nearly completely deprived o:. its hemp
and flax. resources. In the last few years, new plantations a:: hemp and flax
have been installed, mainly in the western territories and in East Prussia.
Also the flax and hemp cleaning industry was established on the Fame terrains
(35 smaller-sized enterprises). In Lodz this branch of the textile trade is
almost non-existent.
15. "Ill order to enrich the resources of the domestic raw material, new artificial
fiber plants are under construction. Besides the already existing artificial
silk. plant in Tomaszow Mat,, there are now in operation:
a., The large artificial fiber plant in (orzow (German: Landsberg/Warthe)
which had been completely, destroyed and later dismantled in and after
World War II, its main product is artificial fiber traded under the,
name 'Polan~.
The artificial fiber plant in'Jelenis,'Gora (German: Hirschberg).
c. The artificial fiber plant in the Szczecin suburb, Zydowce (German:
Syd.owsaue).
d. Wipolan., the artificial fiber"plant in Lodz expanded during World
War il..
16. "According to plans the production of artificial fiber and silk will cover in
1955 the domestic needs leaving a margin for export. (In 1955 the production
of artificial silk will reach 16,500 tons and artificial fiber 56,800 tons.
In order to make a comparison of figures with the pre World War II status
possible, it should be recalled that the requirements in textile raw materials
amounted to 120,000 tons.)
17. "Many textile factories are independent from the central source of power and
water supply. Several of the plants, particularly the larger enterprises,
are equipped with their own small power plants and with their own water-
pumping stations and installations. In case the general water and power
supply is cut off the factories can continue by virtue of their own supply.
18. "While putting.a halt to the. expansion of the textile industry in Lodz, the
Communist authorities have put into operation and expanded another, industry
.second in importance in . the. city:, the electro-technical industry. The seven
large enterprises in this industry produce a gx~at variety of electrical
equipment and appliances for power plants and thereto-technical as well as
telephone and telegraph installations. Along with Upper and Lower.$ilesia
and Warsaw, Lodz is now the other main supply cent pt lectrical products.

19. "A1.fio expanded but on a wore limited scale is the metallurgical industry. In 1954
a new large-boiler plant wasadded to.the'textitb.;.macbipery plants and general
metallurgical factories, already ex ,sting.before,World War II.
20. "All industrial investments in Lodz have to be carried out on a much lower scale
than is the case in Many other areas such as Warsaw, Krakow (Kowa Huta steel mill)
or ii the Silesian and. Czestochowski region. This is also the reason why the in-
crease of. the Lodz inhabitants will be relatively more limited. Nevertheless, for
a long time to come, Lodz will retain its position as the second largest city in
Poland.
New iiiilitar Installations
21. "F'x?ox+e the .military point of view Lodz has also changed its character. Before World
War II it was only a garrison town (infantry units, mounted infantry units and an
arwored uiiit). Now the city has become also a training center. After World War II
the center for ziLtlitary medical training was transferred to Lodz from Warsaw. In
addition, a new school for political schooling of officers has been installed.
According to information from refugees, the Lodz garrison in comparison to pre-
torld War II times is rather small. Unanimously it has been stated by my informants
that in Lodz and. in its suburban area only the units of the 8th Infantry Division
are stationed there (allegedly this division is motorized). The refugees knew no
details on the armored units in Lodz.
22, "The airfield in Lublinek, southwest of the city, has been occup.d since 1951 by
zuilitaxy authorities, but it is still used by the state-run civi an airline.
Reconstruction of Lodz
23. "As in other Polish towns, it is planned, and already partly realized, to recon-
struct and modernize the city along the following lines:
a. Parallel with the traditional main communication artery, Piotrkowska
Street, two other arteries have now been established. One of them west of
Piotrkowska Street is called 'OS P-P' (north-south axis) and runs along
Kosciuszkj Avenue (which was widened on its entire length), Zachodnia Street,
SLoca,olniana Street, and Zgierska Street. The second auxiliary artery, east of
Pivtrkowska Street, is now traced through Kilinskiego Street (which will be
w.i(iened) and xrancisz*anska Street. According to further projects, a tunnel
will be constructed under the middle fragment of the 'OS P-P' for non-stop quick
trawway traffic.
b. The Baluty borough,, destroyed and burned out during World war II,
till be rebuilt as. a. modern residential district with a large square at the en-
trance to this district. By the construction of this square, the coniunication
system in the northern part of the city is going to be modernized. From here net-
work of streets will extend out into the suburban area, ailing through traffic.
c. On the outlet of Warszawska Street in the northeastern part of the
city, the constriction n-7 the autobahn toward Warsaw has been started. The segment
as far as Rogx Li] has already been completed.
d. In order to speed up the railway communication between Lodz and Warsaw
as well as Silesia, the Lodz-Koluszki railway line has already been electrified.
Koluszki is the junction point for the main Polish Warsaw-Silesia electrical line.
111).e electric trains that were put into operation in May 195+ end at the Lodz-
Fabryczna railway station. Under further plans for the reconstruction of the rail-
way communication system, there are plans for making the Lodz-Kaliska railway
station the central city station. The Kaliska railway station will then be re-
served only for express passenger traffic. A new northern railway station will be
built in the borough of Baluty.

e. In the field of utilities, the largest investment is the water-
conduit Lodz-l?iloca River (the investment will be finished by the end of 1951i.).
.
It.will be surficient_to.eover the whole consumption-needs for drinking water.
The industry, however, will continue to be supplied with water from the deep
wells , Parallel with the construction of the water pipeline --uteri ,, +ha

canalization. Up to the beginning of 1954, 56 kilometers of wa wr pipelines
and approximately 87 kilometers of canalization line had been installed within
the city borders.

f. The administration and trade center will be left in its present
district. The-main investment in this territory is the construction, already
Of the 15-story tskyscraper' on the corner of Sienkiewicza and Naruy

artery of the cty.. On the western outlet of the street, a large square, Plac
Centrally, will be built between lviickiewicza, Piotrkowska aui, Kosciuszki Streets.
On this square a second skyscraper even higher than the textile center will, be
constructed. Eastward, Stalina Street will cross Zwyciestwa Place (formerly:
Wodny Rynek). This square is a main parade place and open air mass-meeting
square (already a number of communist manifestations have been organized on
this square which is still under constrti .ign).
g. The university town will be constructed in the eastern fragment
of Narutowicza Street in the vicinity of Staszica Park. Some universities are
already established. in this. area iii proVisi,onael, Meats
h. The new centrally located residential area is now under construction
on the 330 hectares of the Baluty and Stare biiasto boroughs. From this area
around 100 hecttares are projected for squares, parks and wide streets. Other
residential settlements are now under construction in the city peripheries
such as the Iarchlewski settle ~n nt in the Stoki suburb, in Chojny, Ruda and the
eastern part of the Widzew boroughs. Altogether it is planned to construct be-
tween 1950 and 1970 around 300,000 new living quarters. This number seems, however,
exaggerated as during the last four years of the plan realization only 15,000 to
20,000 such units have been constructed.
