The Gdańsk Shipyard – a symbol of freedom
The Gdańsk Shipyard is not just a workplace, but above all a symbol of the fight for freedom and democracy. It was here that in 1980, strikes began that led to the establishment of the first independent trade union in the communist countries – Solidarity. Today, the Gdańsk Shipyard is a place of memory, but also a place where cultural life flourishes.
