Wolna Ukraina: Muzeum Historii Toalet w Kijowie obchodzi w tym roku swoje 15-lecie

Muzeum Historii Toalet w Kijowie obchodzi w tym roku swoje 15-lecie. Czy przetrwa niszczycielskie ataki rosyjskich rakiet?

Wolna Ukraina: Muzeum Historii Toalet w Kijowie obchodzi w tym roku swoje 15-lecie



Jedno z niewielu światowych muzeów poświęconych toaletom znajduje się w Kijowie, bombardowanej przez rosyjskie wojska, stolicy niepodległej Ukrainy. Warto złożyć mu wirtualną wizytę zanim przypadkowa rakieta zniszczy jej unikalne zbiory.  






Muzeum Historii Toalety to prywatne muzeum założone w Kijowie przez małżeństwo biznesmenów i entuzjastów historii higieny, Nikolaya i Mariny Bogdanenko. Otwarte zostało ono we wrześniu 2007 r. Znajduje się ono na liście 10 najpopularniejszych i najbardziej ciekawych muzeów w Ukrainie. Mieści się we „Wieży numer 5”, na ul. Rybalskiej nr 22.  Wieża stanowiła część umocnień Twierdzy Kijów i prace przy niej rozpoczęto w 1833 r. (trwały 13 lat), z przeznaczeniem na magazyny z prowiantem i amunicją. Dzisiaj we wieży znajduje się jedno z dużych centrów biznesowych w Kijowie oraz  największa na świecie kolekcja toalet oraz pamiątek z nimi związanych, co odnotowane zostało w Księdze Rekordów Guinnessa.






Eksponaty muzeum są uporządkowane chronologicznie, zgodnie z historią rozwoju ludzkości: „Prahistoria”, „Starożytność”, „Średniowiecze”, „Odrodzenie”, „Wiek XVII – XXI” i „ART WC”.






Zapraszamy do zwiedzania, chwilowo wirtualnie, w niedalekiej przyszłości osobiście!

City of Mannheim remembers William H. Lindley



On the December 29, 2017, on the website of the city of Mannheim Sabine Pich published an article  entitled "It was him who built a sewage system in Mannheim (Er baute Mannheims Abwassersystem)".


The text is dedicated to William Heerlein Lindley, who was commissioned by the city authorities in the years 1888-1901 to design and build a sewage system for  the city of Mannheim. The project was carried out in cooperation with the Swiss company Brown, Boveri & Company, which established a branch in Mannheim in 1899. Another joint success of BBC and W.H. Lindley was construction of the first power plant in industrial port of that city (Industriehafen). His daughter Julia married Robert Boveri, who led the BBC in Mannheim until his death.


On March 22, 2018, which is the World Water Day, the entrance to the sewage system will be opened for the visitors (at the Breiten Straße). A similar entrance to the canal designed by W.H. Lindley can be seen in Łódź in the famous Dętka at Plac Wolności. The article by S. Pich has been published in the memory of the 100th anniversary of the death of William H. Lindley. Mannheim is a poviat city, located in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, in the district of Karlsruhe, the seat of the Rhein-Neckar region. It lies at the mouth of Neckar to the Rhine,

Speech by Bill (William) Lindley, Warsaw, September 2016


 

Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to the Warsaw Water Supply Company Ltd - for inviting me (and my wife Pippa) to your splendid country for this special occasion – your 130 anniversary - and for the generous hospitality - we greatly appreciate this.



 


William (Bill) and his wife Philippa enjoy Warsaw water


William Lindley who was my Great Great Grandfather designed the water supply and sewerage system for Warsaw. This is one of his many European commitments/projects. It was supposed to be the most modern and most effective at responding to the expectation of the Warsaw inhabitants, which he developed and brought into practice in German towns – Hamburg, Elberfeld, Frankfurt on Maine. And it was.

When he signed the contract with Warsaw authorities in 1881 he was 73 and decided to retire and to pass all the duties on his eldest son, William Heerlein....

Honours for the descendant of the Lindleys in Warsaw


Francis William (Bill) Lindley with his wife Philippa came for a three-day visit to Warsaw (5-8 September). They were invited by the management of the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company Ltd. This year capital of Poland celebrated 130-anniversary of the delivery of filtered water processed in the modern water supply system built according to the design of William and William H.Lindley. In 1936 the management of  PWiK (the Water and Sewerage Company) recognized that the August 3rd,1886, was the starting point of effective work of the Warsaw water network. 130 years later, in 2016, due to a variety of important events (the NATO Summit and World Rally of the Catholic Youth involving visit of the Pope Francis II), the celebrations were postponed till September.


Jubilee Gala took place on the 6th of September in the National Theatre. After introductory speech of the President of Warsaw, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, the Mazovia (Voivodship Mazowsze) Marshall Office announced that MPWiK was awarded with medal of “Merited for Mazovia”. The award was handed over to the Chairman of the Management Board of MPWiK Mrs Beata Pacholec and member of the Board of Directors Mr. Grzegorz Wasilewski.



The second point of the evening, for us the most important.  William (Bill) Lindley was awarded an “Honourable Order of Merit of the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company in the capital city of Warsaw”, “In recognition of invaluable contribution of Mr William Lindley and his eldest son, Sir William Heerlein Lindley, to the development of Warsaw water and sewerage system”, with the relevant diploma.


See the photograph below:









Decoration was conducted by Mr Jarosław Jóźwiak,Vice Presidentof Warsaw, on behalf of the Supervisory Board,and by Mrs Beata Pacholec on behalf of the Executive Board.


In a short speech Bill Lindley, thanked for the honour and memory of the work of their ancestors in Warsaw,who would be proud if they saw what concern surrounds the designed and executed by them water supply and sewerage system of our city, and above all, that they passed the test of time and they still serve the residents of Warsaw.


In the second part of the evening guests listened to the beautifully composed concert, which was a blend of classical and light music performed by singers of the National Theatre. The evening host was a popular television entertainer Robert Janowski.
