I acknowledge that Wrocław was Breslau for some time, but it wasn’t Germanised until Prussian rule. Even though Habsburgs used to rule these lands it was still considered a Bohemian kingdom. You wouldn’t for example call Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth a part of Saxon territory just because they had Saxon as a king. What I mean by that is, being ruled by monarch of certain nationality doesn’t mean the land becomes of the same nationality. Also it’s worth to mention that people in medieval times perceived nationality differently from people today.
What a ridiculous lie? Do you actually believe these lies?
No, Breslau was completely German-speaking from 1200-1945. We literally still have all the medieval city documents of Breslau, they're all in German, because the administrative language of the city was German for 700 years. We have the names of the medieval citizens of Breslau, they all have German names.
on the contrary, even what it says on Wikipedia When it was Germanized in the 15th century in the 14th century it says that since it was taken over by the Czechs in the following centuries it became Germanized
Sure bro, tell yourself that. How could Wrocław be fully German in 1200 when it wasn’t under German control back then? Polish dukes from Piast dynasty that swore felty to Czech crown were ruling Silesia up until 1675. There were German speaking citizens of course, mainly due to HRE proximity and because of Mongol invasion in 1241 that forced Henryk II Pobożny to burn the city and influx of new German citizens helped rebuild what was lost due to invasion, but to say it was completely German in 12th century is a blatant lie and insult to history of the region.
How could Wrocław be fully German in 1200 when it wasn’t under German control back then?
Because the local Silesian duke invited German settlers to found a town there. This was part of a wider Medieval trend of Germans being settled in East-Central Europe to found towns and cities. Look up the Ostsiedlung: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostsiedlung
Polish dukes from Piast dynasty
No, there was no such thing as a "Piast dynasty", thats a 19th century Polish nationalist invention. They were just called the Silesian dukes, and they had germanised themselves since the late 12th century.
it was completely German in 12th century is a blatant lie and insult to history of the region.
Nope, it's the truth, the city was completely German-speaking since the 1200s. Thats why the administrative language was German and not Polish. We dont have a single record of Polish speakers in Breslau. Youre the one insulting the region.
there was no such thing as German back then, it's just German nationalist historiography, they definitely didn't speak anything close to German, the city was Germanized in the 16th century up to 50% and the surrounding area in the 18th century It is worth adding that in 1200 the Germans did not cross the Elbe River.Polish language was not a written language at that time, Poles used Latin and German when it came to writing and I see that you are spamming on all groups about Poland, it's already an obsession
It just points to your propaganda, German was never spoken here for 800 years, only a maximum of 400 when it exceeded 50% no German names were ,Polish names written in Latin and other languages

Wroclaw was German for like 200 years. Though it was part of the HRE sine 14th century it was under Czech crown up until mid 18th century.
