Designed by Edwin Oppler and built in the years 1865-1872, the Neo-Gothic-Neo-Romanesque temple of liberal Judaism was the second largest synagogue in Austria and Germany, its dome was 73 meters high. The new synagogue in Breslau was completely burnt down by the Nazis during the Crystal Night of November 9-10, 1938, in the place where it stood at the intersection of Podwale and \u0141\u0105kowa Streets, today there is only a commemorative monument. The reduced model made of broken glass is an attempt to restore the architecture, reconstructing its form based on archival prints and with reference to the history of the building itself. At the same time, the small size of the sculpture brings to mind home objects such as crystal decorations or architectural  miniatures brought as souvenirs from distant places. Swoboda refers the title term Heimat &#8211; meaning patrimony &#8211; to the concept of a private homeland and its relationship with faith, asking questions about the way of building the identity of societies in the face of the erected, ruined and forgotten architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-x-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c(\u2026) Praca Toma Swobody jest architektonicznym modelem kopu\u0142y nieistniej\u0105cej ju\u017c Nowej Synagogi. Ta zaprojektowana przez Edwina Opplera i wybudowana w latach 1865-1872 noegotycko-neoroma\u0144ska \u015bwi\u0105tynia liberalnego Judaizmu by\u0142a drug\u0105 najwi\u0119ksz\u0105 synagog\u0105 Austrii i Niemiec, jej kopu\u0142a mia\u0142a wysoko\u015b\u0107 73 metry. Nowa Synagoga w Breslau zosta\u0142a doszcz\u0119tnie spalona przez hitlerowc\u00f3w podczas kryszta\u0142owej nocy z 9 na 10 listopada 1938, w miejscu, gdzie sta\u0142a u zbiegu ulic Podwale i \u0141\u0105kowej, dzi\u015b widnieje jedynie upami\u0119tniaj\u0105cy pomnik.

Jednocze\u015bnie, niewielki rozmiar rze\u017aby przywodzi na my\u015bl domowe przedmioty, jak kryszta\u0142owe dekoracje czy architektoniczne miniaturki przywo\u017cone jako pami\u0105tki z odleg\u0142ych stron. Swoboda odnosi tytu\u0142owy termin Heimat \u2013 oznaczaj\u0105cy ojcowizn\u0119 \u2013 do poj\u0119cia ojczyzny prywatnej i jej relacji z wiar\u0105, stawiaj\u0105c pytania o spos\u00f3b budowania to\u017csamo\u015bci spo\u0142ecze\u0144stw wobec wznoszonej, rujnowanej i zapominanej przez nie architektury.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-1-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-1-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-1.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-2.jpg 749w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-3-e1770482538857.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/tomswoboda.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heimat-Swoboda-3-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-376\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heimat (model) (photography, metal and glass object, living plant) \u201c(\u2026) Tom Swoboda\u2019s work is an architectural model of the dome of the now defunct New Synagogue.
