Żwirkowisko - the place of the tragic death of Polish pilots Stanisław Wigura and Franciszek Żwirka on September 11, 1932 in Cierlicko Górne near Cieszyn in Cieszyn Silesia (in Zaolzie), in what was then Czechoslovakia.
The accident of Polish pilots took place during their flight to an air rally in Prague. During a violent storm, the wing of the RWD-6 aircraft was torn off and the machine fell to the ground. The pilots died on the spot.
At the site of the tragic event, a birch cross with a propeller was initially placed, and preserved trunks of spruces, against which the plane crashed, were left. Symbolic graves of airmen were also created.
In 1935, a small mausoleum and a gate with the inscription "Żwirki i Wigury start to eternity" were built.
The authors of this layout were: the builder Rygiel from Frysztat and the sculptors Julius Pelikán from Olomouc and Jan Raszka. The bell was funded by the readers of the Illustrated Courier Codzienny. Soon Żwirkowisko became a place of worship of Polishness in Zaolzie.
After the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Germans in December 1940, the mausoleum was demolished and the area was destroyed. We managed to save a commemorative stone and an inscription from the gate.
