In Bolesławiec, an organizing committee was formed for next year’s celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Guild of Various Crafts and merchants’ associations. In the post-war years, merchants and craftspeople were the driving force behind the city’s reconstruction and development. A commemorative plaque embedded in the wall of the Town Hall, whose renovation is now nearing completion, will remain one of the lasting elements of the celebrations. The honorary patronage of the celebrations was assumed by the Mayor of the City, engineer Józef Król.
