background
Warsaw emerged in the early Middle Ages thanks to its favorable location on the trade route along the Vistula. However, the city only gained political importance when the Dukes of Mazovia moved their seat to Warsaw in the 15th century. Thanks to its central location, Warsaw rose between the 16th century Krakow and Vilnius to the parliament and seat of power of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic. Its heyday was in the 17th and 18th centuries. Even after the partition of Poland, the city developed rapidly thanks to industrialization in the 19th century and rose to become the third largest city in the Russian tsarist empire. After the First World War, Warsaw became the capital of the Second Polish Republic. Warsaw was almost completely destroyed in the course of World War II. After the war, the city was largely rebuilt true to the original and the particularly lovingly rebuilt old town has been part of the town since 1980 UNESCO world cultural heritage.

Work
Arbeiten in Warschau für EU-Ausländer ist grundsätzlich problemlos möglich, soweit dies auf Gegenseitigkeit beruht. Deutsche Muttersprachler werden gerne als Sprachlehrer angestellt und haben auf diesem Markt recht gute Chancen. Daneben ist es nicht einfach, Gelegenheitsjobs zu bekommen, wenn man nicht Polnisch spricht.
security
Es ist eigentlich recht sicher, man sollte jedoch in großen Menschenmengen - wie überall auf der Welt - die notwendige Sorgfalt nicht außer Acht lassen.
health
Die ärztliche Versorgung ist sehr gut. Die meisten Krankenkassen aus dem EU-Ausland übernehmen die Kosten einer Behandlung in Polen. Eventuell sollte bei der eigenen Kasse nachgefragt werden. Einige Kassen bezahlen auch Kuren in Polen. Es gibt einen ärztlichen Notdienst. In Warschau haben immer einige Apotheken Nachtdienst.
