History
Zabrze was first mentioned as a village in the 13th century . Since the late Middle Ages, princes from the Piast dynasty have invited German settlers here. Zabrze was inherited by the Austrian Habsburgs and annexed by Prussia in the 18th century . It was the center of mining in the German Empire . Received urban status in 1922 .
In 1915 it was renamed Hindenburg in honor of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg . The new name was used until May 29, 1945 . After the city became part of Poland , the old name was returned, and the remaining Germans were deported , according to the decisions of the Potsdam Conference .
Like other cities in this densely populated area, Zabrze is a large center of industry: metallurgical , glass , food ( brewing ) and others.
