Piotrowice (Katowice)
Piotrowice (Katowice)

Piotrowice (German: Petrowitz, Czech: Petrovice) is a part of Katowice, located in the southwestern part of the city, in the Piotrowice-Ochojec district. It is one of the oldest settlements within the modern boundaries of Katowice, with its history dating back to the historic settlement of Uniczowy. The first mention of the village of Piotrowice appears in a document from the mid-15th century. Until the early 20th century, Piotrowice was a typical agricultural settlement, where mills were also operating, including several on the Ślepotka river. Over time, the village transformed into an industrial settlement, and the population grew, along with the development of educational and cultural activities. In 1907, a factory for mining machinery – later known as Famur – was established in Piotrowice. In April 1951, Piotrowice were incorporated into Katowice, and during the times of the Polish People's Republic, new residential estates were built in the district: Targowisko and Odrodzenia. The main thoroughfares of Piotrowice are: Tadeusza Kościuszko Street (part of the national road 81), Armii Krajowej Street, and Zygmunt Walter-Janke Street. Additionally, the northern part of the settlement is crossed by a railway line, where the Katowice Piotrowice train station is located – the station building itself is the seat of the Iron Theater. Piotrowice is home to various types of enterprises, and it also houses the Police School in Katowice and the Wojciech Korfanty University of Silesia.
