place was the Polish dukes' governor, Piotr Włostowic, who founded there an Augustinian convent which was subsequently moved to Wrocław in 1153. Etymology The Silesians might have been named after the Silingi, as the Silingi were previous inhabitants of this region. Another explanation says that the word is perhaps derived from a Silesian word meaning "wet swampy place", the corresponding verb is "Ślęgnąć" meaning "to become wet". Ślęża in art and culture Mount Ślęża has been portrayed in the famous but atypical manner of Polish independent film Edi800 in the movie Ślęża Manekin Project III. Transmitter On Ślęża there is a facility for FM- and TV-transmission, which uses a tall free-standing (with additional guying) lattice tower. The current tower which was built in 1972 replaced a tall tower built in 1957, which was partially guyed.
