Villa "Obrochtówka"

-

Willa "Obrochtówka" - villa in Zakopane, located at ul. Kraszewski 10a.

The villa was built by Jan Obrocht Bartusia in 1898, in accordance with the Zakopane style, in contact with Stanisław Witkiewicz (Obrochta Bartuś was a carpenter on construction sites built according to Witkiewicz's designs). Until the Second World War she served as a guest house. The sisters Julian Marchlewski, Joseph, Wanda and Marta, were leading him. Like their brother, they were active revolutionary activists and were under constant surveillance of the special services. In Obrochtówce there were permanent meetings not only of leftist activists, but of many famous people of Zakopane. They were in the villa, apart from Marchlewski (who wrote Sketches about Tatras in large part), Henryk Sienkiewicz, Stanislaw Witkiewicz, Mariusz Zaruski, Stefan Żeromski, Ludwik Krzywicki, Adam Mahrburg and Baudouin de Courtenay.

In the fall of 1941 the Nazis occupied the house and burnt down the books and Polish documents found in the attic in the collection of the Hawranks and Kieszkowski families (they had to leave in 1939 due to patriotic activity). The house was designed for a horse-drawn carriage and a horse-drawn carriage.

In 1946, the building was demolished and occupied by ordinary tenants. In 1978 the object was entered in the register of monuments (despite previous renovations did not disturb its architectural value). Since 1971 there has been a regional inn Obrochtówka, where they hosted, among others. Czesław Niemen, Anna German, Barbara Wachowicz, Wieslaw Gołas and Renata Dancewicz.

He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler.

Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place. The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives.
