The historical path

 

 

At the end of 19th century, in the Gotthardschacht (Karol) mine were found deposits of bituminous coal suitable to manufacture coke. At that point, the owners – Johanna and Hans Ulrich von Schaffgotsch – decided to build the Orzegów coke plant. These two workplaces had a great impact on the development of the city. In years 1890 – 1920 were built several residential buildings for the workers. These buildings were so-called familoks (houses for several families) made from red brick, private tenements, and multifamily houses built at the present streets: Bytomska, kardynała Augusta Hlonda, Królowej Jadwigi, Witolda Czapli, Młodego Górnika, Emilii Plater, Piaseczna, Przelotowa, and Warszawska.
