The buildings7 descriptions have been based on:
• Archival photographs in the collection of the Akademie der Kunste in Berlin
• Photographs published in professional periodicals through 1939
• Photographs included in literature published through 1939
• Architectural plans and drawings in Archiwum Budowlane Miasta Wroclawia (Building Archives of the City
of Wroclaw)

Technical data of the buildings are not always complete.534 Examination of the existing structures has not
always been possible because the majority of buildings are now in private hands.
Changes and alterations to the original design, discussed in section 8 concern only the building's external form.
531 More information concerning interior and colour design can be found in Part 1.
532 Because of the poor quality of some plans, not all have not been reproduced.

Building Archive of the City of Wroclaw (Archiwum Budowlane Miasta Wroclawia) was relocated. The files were re-organised, some received new
call numbers.
