Kolonia Zgorzelec (or simply Zgorzelec, German: Skorzeletz) is a workers' settlement (Polish: kolonia robotnicza) in Bytom, Poland.

Zgorzelec is composed of 34 familok buildings [1] and is registered on Poland's Registry of Objects of Cultural Heritage (Polish: Rejestr zabytków) from 1994.[2] The settlement is located in south-western Łagiewniki, Bytom and is bordered by Szombierki (a district of Bytom) in the north, Ruda Śląska in the west and Świętochłowice in the south.

History

[edit]

Zgorzelec was built from 1897 to 1901[3][2] on the initiative of Hubert von Tiele-Winckler[1] to accommodate workers from the nearby Hubertushütte (Polish: Huta Hubertus, from 1936 Huta Zygmunt) steel mill on the order of the Kattowitz Joint-Stock Company for Mining and Ironworks.
