Online exhibitions

Porta Polonica’s online exhibitions systematically present selected topics from the fields of culture and history of Poles in Germany.

  • Franz Hengsbach – Polish Pastor, Bishop and Cardinal
    Besuch von Kardinal Wojtyla bei Bischof Hengsbach in Essen (September 1978)
    The history of Polish citizens in Germany is intimately linked with the history of their pastoral care. Most Polish-speaking immigrants to Germany were members of the Catholic Church. In terms of numbers these were followed by Protestant immigrants from Masuria who were particularly prominent in the Ruhrgebiet. Nor should we forget Polish citizens of the Jewish faith.
