Do dzisiaj miasto to uchodzi za miejsce bez pamięci. Ale czy słusznie? W artykule tym zaproponuję spojrzenie na pamięć miasta od strony krajobrazu. Na przykładzie trzech wrocławskich osiedli mieszkaniowych rozważę sposób, w jaki elementy „poniemieckiego” pejzażu – także fizycznie zdegradowanego, pozbawionego rangi symbolu – mimowolnie kształtowały pamięć i tożsamość jego nowych mieszkańców. Na czym polegał sposób „pamiętania” krajobrazu? Jakie treści przekazywał? Do jakich czasów odsyłał? Jak wpływał na doświadczanie przez mieszkańców czasu i zmiany?

Although, the city bears a yearning for "wild " nature (whose classic realization are English gardens), urban actions are aimed at keeping a safe distance from it. In contemporary cities " wild " nature appeared in the postwar ruins, postindustrial wastelands, peripheral cemeteries, etc. For many people, they are a symbol of degradation and oblivion, therefore, are often subjected to intensive restoration and conservation, which brings about liquidation of wildlife. But is it right? Have these places really lost all the power of recalling memories — these private and collective? In this paper, I will try to answer these questions, based on the study of a luna park in Coney Island (New York), Weißensee Jewish Cemetery (Berlin) and Spreeinsel — historical centre of Berlin.

Since its formation in 1938, the very estate has undergone deep topographic and ideologic changes: from the “racially elite” community at the time of national socialism, an “industrial colony” in socialism to the tower block it is nowadays. The aim of considerations on the past and present landscape of the housing estate is to understand the co-relations happening between people and the place of their inhabit¬ance as a cultural phenomenon, and including it in a broader trend of cultural studies dealing with the places of memory, collective memory and cultural landscape.

Based on such literary works of art as Nachsommer, Condor, Granit, Hochwald author analyzes the bilateral relations between these two categories in the context of opposition culture-nature. In Stifter`s prose culture and nature are not separate concepts; they are entities that determine each other in their radical otherness. This provides an opportunity of interpretation of contemporary issue of places and non-places from non-traditional perspective.
