How it came to be
The Centennial Hall in Wrocław, Poland, was built in 1911-1913 to designs by the architect Max Berg. It was put up for the centenary of 1813, when King Frederick William III of Prussia called on his people, from this city, to rise against Napoleon.
On a symmetrical quatrefoil plan, a ribbed reinforced-concrete dome crowned with a lantern of steel and glass covers the central space. When completed it was the largest reinforced-concrete dome in the world. The surrounding exhibition grounds, by Berg and Hans Poelzig, opened on 20 May 1913.
The hall largely escaped damage in the siege of the city in the Second World War. When the city became Polish in 1945 it was renamed People's Hall, and later its original name returned. It was inscribed in 2006.
