It was Polish Stefan Batory University (Uniwersytet Stefana Batorego). The University had international prestige, largely because of the presence of notable scientists such as Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Marian Zdziechowski, and Henryk Niewodniczański.

It was Polish only between WW1 and WW2, when Vilnius was occupied by Polish. But it is true that it was established by Steponas Batoras in 1579 as the University for Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Dear, freddi57, never in hystory reestablish countries their independence when their people do not want it :). Between ww1 and ww2 Lithuanians gain their freedom in their ethnic teritory, also Vilnius region, because it was Lithuanian. But Poland broke the Suvalkai treaty and ocupied Vilnius illeagally and thats a shame. Yes, in the middle ages, there were many people in Vilnius, who spoke Polish, but they were Lithuanians. The culture of Poland spread in Lithuania because of Catholic religion.

I don`t understand those ppl who think, that Vilnius somehow associates with Poland or Poles. Damn just come there and u will see that this beautiful capital has nothing with Poles. Enough those useless issues about this theme, Vilnius - Lithuanian capital. And there should`t be any speech about Poles or anybody else, that`s just useless. Poles can say what ever they want, but it does`t change anything =]]]

@freddi57 what ever man, i`m proud of the fact that Vilnius has been multicultural city from it`s early days, unlike most of Western European capitals. Polish culture is the part of rich Lithuanian history and the part of Vilnius history. The fact, that Vilnius once belonged to both of great nations should bring us together. We are Europeans after all... and humans... peace.

@LTUcronus

I grew up in Gdańsk/Danzig and I can see some analogy with Wilno/Vilnius.

It took us many years to concede that Gdańsk was once Danzig. In the early 90-ies the series of albums “Był sobie Gdańsk” was published - with awesome old pictures presenting daily life of the prewar Danzig. These pictures helped people understand and accept the fact that Gdańsk was under influence of German culture for centuries, although at the beginning it was founded as a Polish Gdańsk ….

@freddi57 well yes, that`s against the law, but nobody is ripping down those Polish plates and nobody will do. Actually, we are afraid of saying anything depended on nationality or culture because we don`t want to look like Nazis :) In the same way, i have nothing against Poles, but ur comments are just Nazi.. Please, stop inciting national discord..

[freddi57]

@LTUcronus You're wrong my friend:) I'm up to date: According to Lithuania’s Supreme Administrative Court decree, street signs with Polish names on them which are put next to the ones with Lithuanian names of the streets are breaking the law. Now, the Vilnius district authorities have to get rid of the signes and replace them with proper plates.

@freddi57 As i can see u are not familiar with the things goin on here in Vilnius and it`s region.. u say Lithuanians do not respect the rights of Polish minority despite the fact the amount of Polish students learn in Vilnius Polish schools are growing up , besides, there are some places in Vilnius district, were streets are being written in Polish language, not to mention the local shops. But I`m surprised u are talking about Germans that way, i thought u would call them Nazis, respect ;D

[freddi57]

@LTUcronus Schlesien is a very good example! This region was inhabited by Germans for centuries and we fully respect it. Today German minority is a vital part of Polish society. They start in municipal elections and win. They have bilingual street signs or city/village nameplates and no one is persecuting them for that.

Because Poland, unlike Lithuania, respects minority rights.

[LTUcronus]

@freddi57 No matter what kind of language Schlachta class was speaking those people called themselves as Lithuanians. And the difference between Pole and Lithuanian was only the place people lived in- in GDL or Poland. Vilnius University was build by Lithuanians, in the fund of GDL. So I believe, talking what kind of language were the builders speaking is just beside the purpose. In the same way, Schlesien was built by Germans, but does it make any difference now?
