The city's history dates back to as early as the 10th century, but the settlement was grantedtown rights under Polish rule in 1288.[4] Jelenia Góra was founded on important trade routes linking theHoly Roman Empire andBohemia withEastern Europe.[5] The region flourished as a result of trade privileges that became the basis for the establishment of weaving and mining industries during theLate Middle Ages and earlyRenaissance periods.[5] Jelenia Góra witnessed many historical conflicts such as theThirty Years' War and the decisiveSilesian Wars. DuringWorld War II, the city was miraculously saved from destruction.
The central suburb of Jelenia Góra possesses many historical and architectural structures of great significance, including the 17th-century town hall,baroque churches and a restored central marketplace as well as parks and gardens. The nearbyKarkonosze National Park, visited by over 1.5 million tourists annually, has its headquarters in the southwestern neighbourhood ofSobieszów.
The city was mentioned by various names in historical sources:
The Polish nameJelenia Góra together withHyrszberg is mentioned in the bookKrótki rys jeografii Szląska dla nauki początkowej published inGłogówek in 1847 by writer Józef Lompa. The 19th-centuryGeographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland mentioned the city asJeleniagóra.[6] The Polish nameJelenia Góra was made official when the city became again part of Poland afterWorld War II ended in 1945.
In German, the city was mentioned asHyrzberc (1281),Hyrspergk (1305),Hirssbergk (1355), andHirsberg (1521), before eventually becoming the modern-dayHirschberg. In 1927–1945, the city was known asHirschberg im Riesengebirge.
In Czech, the city is known asJelení Hora. Its historic Czech name, which was derived from the German name, wasHiršperk.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Latin names appear in different records, e.g.Mons Cervi, Cervimontia, Monscervinus, Cervigera.
In theEarly Middle Ages, the area was inhabited by theBobrzanie, one of the old Polish tribes.[7] In the 7th century it was part of the short-livedSamo's Empire, and in around 990 it became part of the emerging Polish state underMieszko I.[7]
The city's origins officially date back to the legendary founding of the settlement by the Polish dukeBolesław III Wrymouth of thePiast dynasty in 1108,[8] and in 2008 the city celebrated its 900th anniversary.[9] Jelenia Gora is also mentioned as having been used as a staging point by Bolesław III for his military campaigns against theCzechs in 1110.[10] The original fortified hilltopgród over time developed into a sizable trading settlement, which expanded outside of the old fortifications, forming a suburb around the original settlement.[11] The Piastgród has been preserved as an archeological site – now the Bolesław Wrymouth Hill.[12] In 1242, DukeBolesław II the Horned expanded the city's fortifications.[13]
St. Anne Chapel and Wojanowska Gate, part of the medieval defense complex
In 1281, the city was given an urban charter by the Polish dukeBolko I the Strict whenGerman settlers migrated to the region.[14][15][16] In 1281 the settlement was first mentioned asHyrzberc, and in 1288 in Latin asHyrsbergensium.[17] The city flourished in the 14th century, and became a center of crafts and trade.[18] Weaving developed, and the citizens were exempt from tolls in trade withWrocław andBohemia.[18] In 1317, the Corpus Christi Hospital was first mentioned in documents, although it possibly was founded in the 13th century.[19] In 1345 a city council was established.[20] In 1348 an earthquake struck the city, and DukeBolko II the Small granted it newprivileges.[21][22] In 1361 the city was allowed to build a winery, market stalls and was given the privilege of minting its own gold and silver coins.[23] When theSilesian Piasts lost inheritance and Agnes of Habsburg, the last duchess ofŚwidnica-Jawor died in 1392, the city passed to Bohemia, ruled by theHouse of Luxembourg.[24]
In 1426 and 1427 the city was invaded by theHussites.[25] From 1469 to 1490 it was part ofHungary and afterwards it was part of Bohemia, ruled by theJagiellonian dynasty.
The town was inherited byHabsburg Austria in 1526, two years after the town adopted theProtestant faith. In 1533, all old privileges of the city were confirmed.[28] In 1539, a second annual fair was established.[28] In 1540 the municipal school suffered a fire.[28] In 1548, the city refused to supportCharles V in the religiousSchmalkaldic War, for which he fined the city and deposed the mayor.[28] A Protestant school was built in 1566. In 1560 a fire destroyed large parts of the city and stopped the economic development, which until then had been characterized by linen-weaving. The city recovered when Joachim Girnth, a shoemaker on a return journey fromHolland, introduced veil-weaving. The first "light veils" were offered in 1625, and five years later the city received an imperial privilege byFerdinand II for these veils.
During theThirty Years' War the city suffered badly.[6] It was beleaguered by troops of both parties, paid high contributions, and during a siege in 1634 the city burned down again. Two more sieges followed in 1640 and 1641. The town needed several years to recover. One reason for the new boost was the creation of a merchant society in 1658, which secured the city's position as the most important center of linen and veil trade in the Silesian mountains during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Protestants of the city were oppressed during theCounter-Reformation, but the secondTreaty of Altranstädt, which allowed a Protestant community center and church to be established outside the medieval city walls, brought relief. Great sacrifices by the merchant society, especially its most prominent member Christian Menzel, made the construction of a large church, modelled afterChurch of Catherine in Stockholm, possible. The cemetery of the church was the preferred burial place for most merchant families.
Hirschberg was annexed withLower Silesia by theKingdom of Prussia during theSilesian Wars. The city was again partly destroyed, had to pay contributions and was seized several times. The detachment from Austria and the new border in the mountains to the south badly damaged the economy as the merchants lost a large part of their customers. Although Prussia took on substantial efforts to revive the economy, they never recovered completely and finally lost their position during theIndustrial Revolution.
In 1800,John Quincy Adams, ambassador in Berlin at that time and futurePresident of the United States, visited Hirschberg[22] and said: "Nothing can be more beautiful than the location of Hirschberg, a beautifully built city with numerous splendid buildings, in a valley surrounded by hills on all sides, with the magnificent view of the Giant Mountains".
Town hall, built between 1744 and 1749, is located on the main square
In 1871 the town became part of theGerman Empire with the Prussian-ledunification of Germany, as one of the largest towns in theProvince of Silesia. In 1882, a railway connecting the city withKowary was opened, and in 1905 it was further expanded toKamienna Góra.[29] In 1891, a railway connecting the city withPiechowice was opened, and in 1902 it was further expanded toSzklarska Poręba andHarrachov.[29] In 1889 theDeutsche Riesengebirgsverein (German Giant Mountains Club), an organization to protect the environment of theGiant Mountains and to promote tourism, was founded by Theodor Donat and 47 other dignitaries of the region.
AfterWorld War I, the town became part of the PrussianProvince of Lower Silesia in 1919, and in 1922 became a separate city. On September 1, 1939, the day of the Germaninvasion of Poland and the outbreak ofWorld War II,Luftwaffe used the airport in Hirschberg to conduct air raids on Poland.[30] In April 1940, the first transport of 2,000Poles deported fromSosnowiec,Będzin andOlkusz forforced labor arrived to the city.[31] In the city, the Germans organized 19 labor camps in which they imprisoned mainly Poles, Czechs, Frenchmen and Belgians, but also Luxembourgers, Russians, Ukrainians, Greeks, and Estonians, including women. They also established four prisoner-of-war camps: two forFrench, one for Jews from different countries and one for Soviets.[32] French POWs organized a secret resistance movement and cooperated with Poles from other camps.[33] There were also twosubcamps of theGross-Rosen concentration camp, whose prisoners were mostly Poles and Jews from various German-occupied countries, chiefly Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Hungary.[34] In 1943 and 1944 there was a significant influx of Germans from the bombed German cities, and in 1944, after the crushing of theWarsaw Uprising, Poles deported fromWarsaw were temporarily imprisoned there.[35] When theRed Army captured the city, as a result of the influx of people in the last years of the war, there were 160,000 people in the city.[36]
Polish Independence Monument
According to the decisions of thePotsdam Conference, the city became again part of Poland, although with a Soviet-installed communist regime, which stayed in power until the 1980s. It became officially known by its Polish name of Jelenia Góra, which was first recorded in 1847. All remainingGerman inhabitants wereexpelled westward in accordance with thePotsdam Agreement[37] and Polish settlers came to the city. In the 1950s alsoGreeks, refugees of theGreek Civil War, settled in Jelenia Góra.[38]
In 1945, Jelenia Góra became the seat of the PolishDolnośląskie Towarzystwo Turystyczno-Krajoznawcze ("Lower Silesian Tourist and Sightseeing Society") founded in nearbyPrzesieka, and after its merger with thePolish Tourist and Sightseeing Society it remained a seat of its branch, which runs a number of mountain huts in the nearby Giant Mountains.[41]
The city was not destroyed in the war, but the state of its buildings and infrastructure declined over the next decade.[42] The communist authorities dismantled the neglectedtenements around the Old Town until 1965[43] and destroyed the cemetery of the former German Protestant church.[44] Since then the buildings around the market place have been reconstructed in simpler 18th-century historical forms.[45]
From 1975 to 1998, it was the capital of theJelenia Góra Voivodeship. In 1976, the city was enlarged through the incorporation of Sobieszów, Maciejowa and the spa town of Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój.[46]

The first written records from the mid-sixteenth century mention a population of approximately 3.5 thousand residents. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the population was about 6,000 people, to rise up to about 20,000 in the early twentieth century. The population in 1939 increased to over 35,000. DuringWorld War II, the city's population skyrocketed, reaching 140,000, as Germany brought thousands of forced labourers and prisoners of war of various nationalities and due to an influx of refugees from German cities fleeing from Allied bombings. After the war, the city had a population of 39,000 residents, including more than 35,000 Germans. During the period 1945–1947, the German population was mostly expelled from Jelenia Góra in accordance with thePotsdam Agreement. After the creation ofJelenia Góra Voivodeship in 1975 and connection to the city surrounding towns, includingCieplice Śląskie-Zdrój, Population increased to 80 thousand. In subsequent years, the city's population grew, but mainly as a result of joining other nearby villages. The population rose to 93,570 inhabitants by 1996, but after the administrative reform in 1998 and the establishment of Lower Silesiavoivodeship, the population of Jelenia Gora is steadily decreasing. By December 2004 it was only 87,643, and by June 2010 it had fallen to 84,306 people. As of 2022, the city's population is 75,794.[60]
In 1957, a broadcasting station for mediumwave radio was inaugurated in Jelenia Góra at ul. Sudecka 55. Until 1967, it used a 47-metre-tall wooden tower, which may have been the only wooden radio tower built in Poland after 1945. In 1967 it was replaced by a 72-metre-tall steel mast. Since the shutdown of the medium wave transmitter in 1994, this mast has been used for FM broadcasting.[61]

A view of the historic arcades with Jelenia Góra Town Hall and "Seven Houses" in the distance
The Wojanowska gate and tower were part of the medieval defence complex that protected the road to Wojanów. Dungeons served as a prison. In 1480, the tower due to strong wind collapsed burying five people. Quickly it was rebuilt by adding the clock and the dome with a lantern, and this state has survived to this day. Coats of arms have been placed on the pillars: Prussian, Silesia, urban and inscription. In 1869, the gate was dismantled and moved to the barracks at Obrońców Pokoju street. After the renovation in 1998, returned to its former place. Located inside the medieval bastion was the St. Anne Chapel of the Wojanowska gate. In the portal above the entrance to the chapel there is an inscription: " „HonorI Magnae ChrIstI aVlae DIVae Annae ereCta”"(built for the glory of the great grandmother of Christ, St. Anna) with a hidden date of 1715.[65]
The Basilica of St. Erasmus and St. Pancratius built in the 14th century features the chapel dedicated to the Patrons of Jelenia Gora; however, it got its present form in the next century. The church was built of stone in the form of a three-nave basilica topped with a tower. Even today, you can admire numerous Gothic stone details best preserved in portals and window frames. The southern portal is exceptionally rich and interesting. Two sepulchral chapels (from the 17th and 18th century) were built into the church's walls; over 20 epitaphs and tombstones from the 16th and 18th century were placed on the two chapels. The main entrance to the chapel is located on the west, on the ground floor. The interior is also Gothic, but the fittings come from Renaissance and Baroque. The incredibly rich and monumental altar from the 18th century dominates the interior. The temple also houses priceless organs from the same period made in the workshop of an Italian organ builder – Adam Casparini. The 16th-century pulpit and the intarsiated (made of different wood types) choir stalls are a little older. There are also two 18th century figures on the church grounds – the Marian column is near the main entrance, and on the northern side, there is a sculpture of St. John of Nepomuk. It used to be located on one bridge over the Młynowka river; however, after it was damaged and then reconstructed in 1886, it was moved to its present place.[65]
Feast of the Holy Cross Church
TheExaltation of the Holy Cross Church was erected as a proof of the grace of the Catholic Emperor of Austria for the Silesian evangelicals. Under the arrangement concluded in Altranstadt after a religious war they were granted the right to build six churches in Silesia which at that time was under Austrian rule. The design of the temple was prepared by the architect, Martin Frantz of Tallinn. The construction works lasted nine years (1709–1718) and the newly built church was deceptively similar to its prototype – St. Catherine's Church in Stockholm (the work of the same designer). The structure was erected on the plan of a cross and topped with a dome. The interior was equipped with a three-storey matronea which can accommodate more than two thousand members of the congregation. The railings were adorned with citations and paintings displaying scenes from the Old and New Testament. The altar together with the organ front placed over it make up an extended, beautifully adorned architectural form.
The town hall is the central point of the market square. The building was erected between 1744 and 1749. The entire square is surrounded by Baroque tenement houses with arcades, which originally used to serve the merchants to sell their goods. At the beginning of the 20th century, the tenement houses near the City Hall were bought and adjoined to the town hall (the so-called "Seven-Houses"). Right next to the town hall there is a fountain with a sculpture of Neptune – god of the seas. The sculpture is to commemorate old trade relations with overseas lands.
Schaffgotsch Palace – Cieplice
The Schaffgotsch family ruling vast lands around Karkonosze settled in Cieplice in 1675. Their previous seat wasChojnik Castle, burned down due to lightning strike. Their Schaffgotsch Palace's greatest ornament are the two semi-circular finished porticos with richly ornamented cartouches carrying the family crest of the owners. The interiors boasts early classicistic fittings. Since 1975, the palace has been housing a branch of theWrocław University of Technology.[66]
Jelenia Góra trams – Tram communication operated in Jelenia Góra in the years 1897–1969. Today there isn't much left of it – fragments of the tram line and a plaque can be found near town hall. One of the old tram carriages can be found by the north entrance to the town hall and serves as a souvenir kiosk (the other two trams are placed in front of the tram depot, in Wolności Street and at the bus terminal in Podgórzyn).
The first mention of warm, curative springs that gave it their name, come from 1281.[67] The spa was then developed by theCistercians from nearbyKrzeszów in the 15th century, and since the 16th century its fame extended far beyond Silesia and managed to attract flocks of patients, Poles, Czechs, Germans and Lithuanians, including many eminent persons, such as Polish Queen consortMarie Casimire Louise de La Grange d'Arquien, her son PrinceJames Louis Sobieski, and PrincessIzabela Czartoryska.[68] Modern analysis shows that water therapeutic effectiveness is due to sulphur, silicon and fluorine compounds together with the high temperature reaching 90 Celsius degrees. Therapeutic sessions used to be based mainly on baths, today a wide range of treatments in the field ofhydrotherapy,inhalation therapy as well asphototherapy,physiotherapy,kinesiotherapy, andelectrotherapy.[69][70]
These two parks are located close to the main pedestrian street of Cieplice. Zdrojowy Park main avenue was created already in 1796, however, the entire park was created in the first half of the 19th century when the Schaffgotschs reconstructed part of the garden into an English garden and made a part of it available to the residents of Cieplice and patients.
At the beginning of the 20th century, owner of paper machine factory Eugen Fülner made several investments towards the spa. One investment was creating a picturesque park, called the Norwegian Park. Norwegian Park owes its name to a wooden building erected in 1909, whose finishing resembles Viking boats.
The Gallery and Zdrojowy Animation Theatre was built in 1797–1800 and designed by the architect Carl Gottlieb Geissler from Wroclaw. Inside there is still a functioning restaurant, a cigar lounge, a reading room and a large concert hall. Theatre was built between 1833 and 1836, it can accommodate up to 270 spectators. Founded by Schaffgotsch family built in the neoclassical style. Currently scene belongs to the Zdrojowy Animation Theater in the Zdrojowy Park.
Sobieszów is located along the stream of Wrzosówka and nearby is the Chojnik castle. From the fourteenth century to 1945, the village belonged to the Schaffgotsch family. Karkonosze National Park management is established in Sobieszów. Location area creates favorable conditions for starting here hiking in the Karkonosze Mountains.
Chojnik Castle – a castle located near Jelenia Góra-Sobieszów on the top of the Chojnik mountain in Karkonosze Mountains. This mountain rises to a height of 627 meters above sea level, and from the southeast side is a 45-meter cliff plunging into the so-called Hell Valley. The fort is located in a nature reserve, which is the exclave of Karkonosze Mountains National Park.[71]
"Chojnik Golden Bolt" Knight's crossbow tournament – Once a year the picturesque ruins of Chojnik play host to the struggles of knight fellowships. The tournament is accompanied by shows of medieval customs, dances, crafts and warfare.
Jagniątków – a district of Jelenia Góra (since 1998).[72] From here leads many trails in the mountains, both pedestrians and cyclists. It is the highest district of Jelenia Gora, and has good communication with the city bus (lines 15 and late-night course line 9). It was founded byCzech refugees in 1651.[73]
The church was erected in the years 1980–1986. Its shape was inspired by the architecture of Podhale. Thanks to this shape the church perfectly inscribes itself into the mountainous landscape.
Jagniątkowsk Black Cauldron – glacial cauldron in the Western Sudetes in the Karkonosze Mountains and is located in south-western Poland, in the Western Sudetes in the western part of the band Karkonosze Mountains, in the Karkonosze National Park, north of the Black Pass, on the north-eastern slope of Śmielca and north-western slope of the Czech Stones.[74]
