Three Emperors' Corner (Polish: Trójkąt Trzech Cesarzy) – a historic tripoint of the borders of the partitioning powers, situated near the confluence of the Biała Przemsza (White Przemsza) and Czarna Przemsza (Black Przemsza) rivers, downstream of which the river is called the Przemsza. From 1815 to 1846, the borders of Prussia, the Russian-controlled Kingdom of Poland and the Republic of Kraków met here; from 1846 onwards, these were the borders of Prussia, Russia and Austria. Today, a developed memorial site stands on the Sosnowiec side, in the area of Niwka, Modrzejów and Jęzor, near the boundary with Mysłowice and in the vicinity of Jaworzno.[1][2]

Three Emperors' Corner was one of the most recognisable symbols of the borderland between Silesia, Zagłębie Dąbrowskie and Galicia. Its significance stemmed from political boundaries, border crossings, trade, smuggling, the development of railways, river transport, tourism and an extensive tradition of postcard imagery. The confluence of the White and Black Przemsza rivers is also represented on the coat of arms and flag of Sosnowiec.[3]

Location

Three Emperors' Corner is associated with the confluence of the White and Black Przemsza rivers. Historically, the borders followed the Biała Przemsza, Czarna Przemsza and Przemsza, separating the territories of three states. Niwka and Modrzejów were on the Russian side, Jęzor on the Austrian side, and the area around Mysłowice, Słupna and Brzęczkowice on the Prussian side.[4][5]

The present-day memorial is located in the southern part of Sosnowiec, approximately 5.5 km south-southeast of the city centre. Its GPS coordinates are 50°13′46.900″ N and 19°09′26.900″ E, its elevation is 243 m above sea level, and the developed site covers approximately 1,600 m². The site is owned by the local government, is easily accessible and lies on tourist trails.[2]

The confluence formed a natural boundary as well as a point at which different administrative, customs, legal and economic systems met. Nearby were border bridges, customs houses, guard posts, a river port and tourist facilities.[5][6]

Name

The earliest names of the site referred not to emperors but to the border between three countries. After 1846, the German name Drei Länder Ecke ('Three Countries' Corner') was used, translated into Polish as Kąt Trzech Krajów or Trójkąt Trzech Krajów. Following the unification of Germany in 1871 and the formation of the League of the Three Emperors in 1873, the name Drei Kaiser Ecke, meaning 'Three Emperors' Corner', became widespread. Many postcards also carried the name Drei Kaiserreichs-Ecke, meaning 'Three Empires' Corner'.[7][8]

The established Polish name Trójkąt Trzech Cesarzy ('Triangle of the Three Emperors') is not an exact translation of the German names. A more literal Polish equivalent would be Kąt Trzech Cesarzy ('Three Emperors' Corner') or Kąt Trzech Cesarstw ('Three Empires' Corner'). Nevertheless, the name Trójkąt Trzech Cesarzy became widely accepted, including during the Second Polish Republic, and remains in use today.[7]

History of the borders

The history of the site's borderland character dates back to the mid-18th century. Following the First Silesian War and the Treaty of Breslau in 1742, most of Upper Silesia came under Prussian rule, while the Czarna Przemsza became the boundary between Prussia and the Duchy of Siewierz. After the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, the border arrangement changed; following the establishment of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1807, the Czarna Przemsza again marked the border with Prussia.[1][8]

After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the borders of three political entities met at the confluence of the White and Black Przemsza rivers: Prussia, the Kingdom of Poland under the rule of the Russian tsar, and the Free City of Kraków, also known as the Republic of Kraków. At this stage it was not yet the 'Three Emperors' Corner' in the strict sense, because one of the parties was the Republic of Kraków.[1][5]

In 1846, following the failure of the Kraków Uprising, the Republic of Kraków was annexed by Austria. From then on, the borders of the three partitioning powers – Prussia, Russia and Austria – met at the confluence of the White and Black Przemsza rivers. After 1871, Prussia formed part of the German Empire, while from 1867 Austria functioned as Austria-Hungary. Under this arrangement the site acquired a name referring to the three imperial monarchies.[4][8]

The former role of the Corner began to break down during the First World War. Politically, the arrangement of three empires lost its significance after 1918, when the partitioning monarchies collapsed and the Polish state was re-established. The symbolism of the former tripoint was finally erased after the Silesian uprisings, the plebiscite and the incorporation of part of the borderlands of Upper Silesia into Poland in 1922.[9][10]

Border traffic, trade and smuggling

The borders in the Corner area shaped the daily rhythm of life for borderland inhabitants. They affected trade, commodity prices, the movement of people and the development of smuggling. In the 1880s, an average of around 2,000 people crossed the Mysłowice–Modrzejów border crossing each day, rising to as many as 5,000–6,000 on Sundays, public holidays and market days. Around 1.2 million people reportedly crossed the border in 1897, and in later years traffic may have reached as many as 1.5 million crossings annually.[11]

Much of this movement resulted from price differences on either side of the border. Residents of Mysłowice bought food, flour, bread, meat and other goods in Modrzejów and Jęzor. In 1891, a three-kilogram loaf of bread cost 60 pfennigs on the German side, 37.5 pfennigs in the Kingdom of Poland and 40–50 pfennigs in Galicia. Price differences could reach approximately 50%.[11]

The scale of cross-border shopping is illustrated by figures from December 1897, when residents of Mysłowice reportedly bought 22 tonnes of wheat flour, 31 tonnes of rye flour, 9 tonnes of bread, 5.5 tonnes of meat and 0.6 tonnes of sausage on the Russian side. In Zagłębie, the term kormele was applied to visitors from Upper Silesia who bought rye flour on the Russian or Austrian side.[11]

Border permits were used in the region, including half-passports known as Halbpass, which allowed people to cross the border and move within the frontier zone. Local border traffic facilitated shopping, family contacts, employment, official business and access to services across the border.[11][12]

The borders also encouraged smuggling. Those involved included the so-called szwarcownicy (smugglers), especially active in frontier settlements such as Dębowa Góra, Ostra Górka, Niwka and Modrzejów. Smuggled goods included cattle, pigs, horses, meat, sugar, saccharin, watches, jewellery, silk, clothing, hats, cigars, and illegal newspapers and printed materials. During the 1905–1907 revolution, weapons and political publications were also carried across the border.[13][3]

One well-known example was a man named Grębosz from Ludmiła, a workers' colony between Dębowa Góra and Niwka, who specialised in smuggling books from Galicia. His activities helped establish the private book collections of the Kondracki family in Dębowa Góra and Dr Wołkowicz of Radocha.[13][14]

In 1906, approximately 11,000 people suspected of smuggling were detained at the German–Russian border, including 4,831 professional smugglers. In 1910, a large smuggling group numbering around 60 people was broken up near the Bismarck Tower; 32 people were arrested, and goods and gold worth 306,000 marks were discovered in an underground storehouse.[13]

Customs houses and border crossings

Customs and border infrastructure reinforced the significance of the frontier. The Modrzejów Customs House and the Mysłowice–Modrzejów border crossing played important roles. The Modrzejów Customs House operated from 1815 until the First World War, handling the movement of people and goods. It was a lower-class customs facility, but its significance came from the intensity of local border traffic and its location at one of the most important crossings in the region.[15]

In 1910, the head of the customs house in Modrzejów was J. G. Stupak, and customs duties collected amounted to 238,000 roubles. Border traffic and the operation of customs houses were among the most important factors shaping the economic and social life of nearby settlements.[15]

Bridges, footbridges, border posts and guard posts were prominent features of the former Corner. A shrine to St John of Nepomuk was recorded on the Modrzejów bridge. These elements formed the physical setting for everyday movement, border controls and observation.[16]

Economic significance

The border location of what would become Sosnowiec and neighbouring settlements was one of the factors behind their development. Railway lines, stations, warehouses, customs houses and industrial plants were established close to the border. The Kingdom of Poland and the Russian market constituted a large sales area, so entrepreneurs from Western countries invested capital on the Russian side to gain access to the market and circumvent customs barriers. Mines, ironworks and factories were established or expanded, contributing to the rapid development of Sosnowiec.[3][17]

The location at the borders of three countries also contributed to the multicultural character of the growing town. Workers, officials, entrepreneurs and specialists of different nationalities and faiths arrived there.[17]

The border was also important to railway transport. Postcards depicted the area around the Corner with bridges, border crossings, customs houses, flat-bottomed cargo boats and steamships.[10]

River transport and galars

The Biała Przemsza, Czarna Przemsza and Przemsza rivers were important features of the economic landscape of the borderland. In the past the rivers were navigable and were used to transport goods, including coal, timber, sand, potatoes, limestone and zinc ores. The galar river port near Niwka, as well as boat and barge traffic along the Przemsza, were associated with the Corner.[18][19]

The Przemsza galars were wooden, flat-bottomed vessels designed to carry cargo along shallow rivers. They were usually between a dozen and more than 20 metres long and several metres wide. Rudimentary wooden rafts were also used. In 1857–1860, substantial quantities of coal were carried along the Przemsza to Kraków and to sugar factories in Przemników and near Połaniec, using hundreds of galars.[18]

In the early 19th century, a steamship owned by an Englishman also operated on the Przemsza until 1839. Around the same time, approximately 40 galars were said to be operating on the river, not counting smaller boats. They mainly carried bulk goods: potatoes, flour, timber, planks and coal. In 1859 alone, cargo weighing over 900,000 hundredweight units was transported.[20]

The port near Niwka was especially important before the development of the railways. Coal from the Niwka mines was taken to the port and loaded onto river vessels. Old postcards showed the transshipment quay on the Russian side, galars, barges and the river port immediately next to the Corner. At the Corner itself there was a transshipment facility for coal shipped along the Przemsza from the Niwka mine.[21][19]

During the period when the Corner was a popular tourist destination, small steamships and excursion boats also travelled along the Przemsza. Cruises were made towards Brzezinka, Dziećkowice and even Kraków.[22][10]

Today the Biała Przemsza is also used as a canoeing route. One section of Jaworzno's canoe trail leads to Three Emperors' Corner, where the Biała Przemsza joins the Czarna Przemsza to form the Przemsza.[23]

Tourism at the turn of the 20th century

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Three Emperors' Corner was a well-known tourist attraction in the borderland. It drew visitors from Upper Silesia and Lower Silesia, other parts of Germany and neighbouring territories. At the height of its popularity, several thousand tourists visited the site each week.[8][5]

A typical tourist route led from the railway station in Mysłowice along the Promenade towards Słupna. Visitors went to the small castle of the Sułkowski princes, the 'Książęcy Zamek' / Fürstenschloss restaurant and the Drei-Kaiserreich-Ecke amusement garden on Portowa Street. Nearby was a large restaurant with a dance hall that could accommodate several hundred guests. Concerts, choir performances, theatre productions, sporting displays, wrestling and boxing matches, games, competitions and cruises on the Przemsza were organised.[24][22][25]

An excursion to the Austrian side crossed the bridge into Jęzor. Visitors explored the settlement, and one place to rest was Michał Baster's wine tavern, with a garden prepared for tourists. A visit to the Russian side, however, required crossing a bridge over the Czarna Przemsza and undergoing passport and customs checks. Tourists then went to the market square in Modrzejów, where local residents offered food products.[22][24]

Visitors could buy numerous souvenirs associated with the Corner. Apart from postcards, these included small vases, ashtrays, statuettes and wall pictures. The souvenirs reinforced the image of the Corner as a place where the borders of three European states could be seen from a single point.[22][24]

From 1907, one of the greatest attractions was the Bismarck Tower in Słupna, built to a design by Wilhelm Kreis. It stood approximately 20 metres high and had an observation deck offering views of the borderland, the river valleys, bridges, settlements on the three sides of the border and the movements of guards, customs officers and tourists. During the Silesian uprisings it was used as an observation post. After 1922 it was called the Insurgents' Tower and was later named after Tadeusz Kościuszko. It was demolished before the Second World War, in 1938.[26][27]

The Corner on postcards

Three Emperors' Corner was extensively documented in postcards. They depicted, among other things, panoramas of the site, border bridges, guards, customs officers, customs houses, the galar port, the rivers, the Bismarck Tower, the three emperors, national coats of arms and flags, trading scenes and everyday life in the borderland. Many cards bore German inscriptions, particularly Drei Kaiser Ecke and Drei Kaiserreichs-Ecke.[28][3]

As of 1 May 2009, the collection of postcards relating to the Corner at the Museum in Sosnowiec contained 155 items. The oldest postcard in the collection had been posted on 14 October 1894. Of these, 132 cards dated from before 1914, 19 from 1915–1918, and several later items were dated up to 1940.[29]

Publishers of the postcards included Max Rölle, Otto Berger, Carl Hauck, Teodor Pakulla, Sigfrid Kochman, Bruno Scholz, Hermann Łukowski, Reinicke & Rubin, Ottmar Zieher and F. Weingartner. The postcards were published in Mysłowice, Bytom, Wrocław, Magdeburg and elsewhere. This visual material shows that the image of the Corner circulated not only locally but also in the wider German and Central European postcard culture.[29][19]

A special attraction for tourists was the opportunity to purchase and send cards bearing postage or postmarks from all three countries. Because Russia used the Julian calendar while Austria and Germany used the Gregorian calendar, the dates on Russian postmarks differed from the Austrian and German dates by several days, sometimes more than ten.[24]

The exhibition Three Emperors' Corner on Old Postcards, prepared by the Museum in Sosnowiec as part of the educational project From Three Emperors' Corner to Schengen, displayed 84 reproductions of postcards from the museum's collections and private collectors. It included the oldest and most recent views, maps, panoramas, portraits of the three emperors, coats of arms, the Bismarck Tower, border bridges, customs houses, border services, galars, the port and scenes of everyday life.[5][30]

Coat of arms and flag of Sosnowiec

The motif of the river confluence was incorporated into the coat of arms of Sosnowiec, adopted in 1904. The upper field of the shield contains a graphic depiction of the confluence of the White and Black Przemsza rivers at the border of three states, associated with Three Emperors' Corner. The symbol referred to the city's borderland location and to a place which, although then some distance from the administrative boundaries of Sosnowiec, was among the most recognisable landmarks of the region.[31][32]

The river motif was also used on the flag of Sosnowiec. In the centre of the white flag is a blue element taken from the city's coat of arms and symbolising the river confluence. The emblem is linked to the symbolic depiction of the meeting of the rivers and the former borderland.[33][32]

After Poland regained independence, attempts were made to change the coat of arms because the Corner symbol was associated with the partitions. In 1922, a competition for a new coat of arms was announced and more than 70 designs were submitted. No winner was selected, and the coat of arms featuring the river confluence remained the city's symbol.[34][35]

Remembrance and present-day commemoration

After the site ceased to be a border tripoint, its historical, symbolic and visual memory was what largely survived. During the interwar period, the Corner no longer served its former political and border function, but it remained a reference point in regional memory of the partitions, the border and the development of Sosnowiec.[9][5]

In 1935, soil was taken from Three Emperors' Corner for the mound dedicated to Marshal Józef Piłsudski in Kraków. This was an example of how a former border site was incorporated into the symbolism of independence during the interwar period.[19]

In 2004, in connection with Poland's accession to the European Union, a plaque or obelisk was unveiled in the area of the former Corner, referring to Europe's former divisions and the creation of a Europe without borders.[36][37]

On the Sosnowiec side, near Mostowa and Orląt Lwowskich streets, the Obelisk Commemorating the Former Division of Europe and Its Unification was erected. In 2007, the Sosnowiec City Council adopted a resolution concerning its construction. The obelisk was unveiled on 9 November 2007.[38][2]

In subsequent years, recreational and information facilities were installed, including benches, bicycle racks, a fire pit, a covered gazebo and a path leading to the obelisk. At the confluence of the White and Black Przemsza rivers there is a rest shelter, a fire pit and the memorial obelisk.[39][40]

Museum and educational outreach

Since the late 2000s, the Museum in Sosnowiec has played an important role in publicising Three Emperors' Corner. In 2008, it launched the project From Three Emperors' Corner to the Schengen Treaty, which included exhibitions, publications, a scholarly conference, competitions and educational activities. The project received the Marshal of the Silesian Voivodeship's Award in the 'Museum Event of the Year 2008' competition.[41][38]

The museum's activities included the exhibitions Three Emperors' Corner, Three Emperors' Corner on Old Postcards and Tomorrow of Three Emperors' Corner, popular-history publications, albums, historical and art competitions and educational materials. Competitions for the Cups of the Three Mayors – of Jaworzno, Mysłowice and Sosnowiec – were also organised.[41][38]

The subject of the Corner was one of the greatest publishing successes of the Museum in Sosnowiec. Books devoted to the Corner comprised six titles and sold more than 5,000 copies. Exhibitions about the Corner were also among the museum's most frequently loaned displays: one was made available to 33 institutions, while exhibitions loaned by the museum were viewed by a total of nearly a quarter of a million people.[42]

The exhibition Three Emperors' Corner on Old Postcards was also presented outside Sosnowiec, including at the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, in museums and educational institutions and at events promoting the region. It was shown, among other places, in Koszęcin, Katowice and abroad.[43]

The Corner remains a subject in regional education. The Museum in Sosnowiec uses it in lessons about Sosnowiec as a borderland city shaped by industrialisation, migration and multiculturalism.[44]

Tourism today

Three Emperors' Corner is a destination for hiking, cycling and canoeing trips. The red-marked Former Borderland Trail in Sosnowiec passes through the site. The trail runs mainly through green areas along the Brynica and Przemsza rivers, beginning in Milowice and ending at the Corner near Modrzejów. It is approximately 10 km long and follows routes largely separated from motor traffic.[40]

Sosnowiec City Hall organised bicycle tours along the former borderland, starting from Schoen Palace – Museum in Sosnowiec and continuing via Stawiki, the market square in Modrzejów and Three Emperors' Corner. These routes promoted the history of Sosnowiec as a border town and the history of the Warsaw–Vienna Railway.[45]

The Corner also appears as a destination on historical walking tours, routes of the Sosnowiec Sightseeing Badge and an alternative route of the Via Regia Way of St James.[46][47][48][49]

Present-day sightseeing in Sosnowiec connects the Corner with the themes of rivers, the former frontier, railways, industry, multiculturalism and changes in regional identity. The former symbol of border divisions has also become part of the narrative of bringing regions together and crossing old borders.[37][50]
