Gogolin, Industrial town in Upper Silesia, Poland
Located on the edge of the Silesian Upland, Gogolin extends across 20 square kilometers where hills overlook the Oder valley at 175 meters elevation.
First mentioned in 1223 as Gogolino, the settlement developed significantly in the 19th century with limestone mining and railway connections to surrounding regions.
The town features prominently in the Polish folk song 'Poszła Karolinka do Gogolina', with its characters Karolinka and Karliczek represented on the municipal coat of arms.
Gogolin connects to major cities through the A4 motorway, regional roads 409 and 423, and the Krakow-Wrocław-Szczecin railway line.
The Jewish cemetery from 1852 contains graves with inscriptions in Hebrew and German, reflecting the multicultural heritage of this Upper Silesian settlement.
