The cause of the ‘Silesian Weavers’ uprising

was due to the cheating of weavers by the

contractors. In 1845, the weavers raised a

revolt against the contractors as the

contractors drastically reduced their payments.

The viewpoint of the journalist Wilhelm Wolff

for this uprising was – a large crowd of

weavers reached the house of the contractor

and demanded higher wages. They were not

treated well, so a group of the crowd entered

the contractor's house forcibly and destroyed

the furniture, windowpanes and plundered it.

The contractor fled with his family to a

neighbouring village but did not get shelter.

After 24 hours, he returned back with army and

eleven weavers were shot dead. This shows

that the viewpoint of the journalist was based

against the weavers and in favour of the

contractor. He did not understand the

mystery of the weavers properly.
