The University of Wrocław is a public research university located in Wrocław, Poland. It was founded in 1945, replacing the previous German University of Breslau. Following the territorial changes of Poland's borders, academics restored the university building on the banks of the Oder river, which was heavily damaged and split as a result of the Battle of Breslau (1945). Nowadays, it is one of the most prominent educational institutions in the region.
