Lublin - Lublin (English spelling)

Japanese: ルブリン - るぶりん(英語表記)Lublin
Lublin - Lublin (English spelling)

Lublin is the capital of the Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland. It is located 150 km southeast of the capital, Warsaw, and is the economic, administrative, and cultural center of the eastern region. It has a population of 354,026 (2001). It is located on the road from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, and flourished as a commercial town in the 10th century. It prospered after the Kingdom of Poland moved its capital to Krakow, and many market squares, town halls, castles, and churches remain, reminiscent of the 14th to 17th centuries, making it a tourist destination. The current Polish government was formed when the anti-German resistance movement declared its establishment in Lublin on July 22, 1944. The area on the right bank of the Vistula River to the west of the city is economically backward, and is an agricultural region mainly producing beets, hemp, and rye. After World War II, the city rapidly industrialized, with industries such as transportation machinery (motorcycles, tanker trucks, tractors), agricultural machinery, and food processing (meat, sugar, beer) being carried out. There are also many higher education institutions and cultural facilities.

ポーランド東部、ルブリン県の県都。首都ワルシャワの南東150キロメートルにあり、東部の経済、行政、文化の中心都市。人口35万4026(2001)。バルト海から黒海に抜ける街道筋にあり、10世紀には商業町として栄えた。ポーランド王国がクラクフに首都を移してから繁栄を極め、14~17世紀の往時をしのばせる市場広場、市庁舎、城、教会が多く残り、観光地となっている。現在のポーランド政府は、対独レジスタンス運動が1944年7月22日にルブリンで政府樹立宣言を行ってできたものである。市の西方のビスワ川右岸の地は経済的に後進地域で、ビート、麻、ライムギを中心とする農業地帯となっている。市は第二次世界大戦後、急速に工業化が進み、輸送用機械(オートバイ、タンクローリー車、トラクター)、農業機械、食品加工(食肉、製糖、ビール)などの工業が行われる。高等教育機関、文化施設も多い。
