Boernerowo
Boernerowo (Polish pronunciation: [bɔ.ɛr.nɛˈrɔ.vɔ]) is a neighbourhood, and an area of the City Information System, in Warsaw, Poland, within the district of Bemowo. It is a residential estate with detached and semi-detached houses.
Boernerowo, originally called Osiedle Łączności (Neighbourhood of Communications), was developed between 1933 and 1938, in an area donated by the Ministry of Post and Telegraphs, partially for the employees of the nearby Transatlantic Radiotelegraph Exchange. It was incorporated into the city in 1951, and throughout the 1950s, the neighbourhood was requisitioned by the government, and its original population evicted.
Boernerowo is named in honour of Ignacy Boerner, the Minister of Post and Telegraphs from 1929 to 1933, who prosed its founding. The name was first given to it on 28 September 1936. From 1947 to 1987, the neighbourhood was installed called Bemowo ([bɛˈmɔ.vɔ]), in honour Józef Bem, an 18th- and 19th-century engineer and military officer, and veteran of the November Uprising. It was chosen due to nearby fortification, originally known as the Fort Parysów, being named the Bem Fort in 1921. Years later, in 1994, the name was reused for the then founded city district of Bemowo.
Originally, prior to 1936, Boernerowo was known as Osiedle Łączności ([ɔˈɕɛ.dlɛ wɔnt͡ʂˈnɔɕ.t͡ɕi]), which translates from Polish to the Neighbourhood of Communications, in reference to the former Transatlantic Radiotelegraph Exchange, which operated nearby until 1945.
Additionally, northern part of the neighbourhood was originally a separate settlement founded by military veterans. It was known as Kolonia im. Aleksandry Piłsudskiej, meaning the Aleksandra Piłsudska Colony. It was named after a 20th-century socialist and Polish independence activist, member of Polish Socialist Party and Polish Military Organisation, and the second wife of Marshal of Poland Józef Piłsudski. Its main road, now known as Kleeberga Street, was originally also named after Piłsudska.
The creation of the neighbourhood, named Osiedle Łączności (Neighbourhood of Communications), was initiated in 1932 by Ignacy Boerner, the Minister of Post and Telegraphs, to combat the rising housing crisis in the city, and create homes for the employees of the nearby Transatlantic Radiotelegraph Exchange.
The association which would manage the construction and upkeep of the settlement, called the Society for the Support of the Constitution of Neighbourhood for Employees of the Communications Service, was founded on 29 April 1932. It was decided to develop a housing estate on an area of 52.41 ha, with 284 plots, ranging in size from 700 do 1500 m2, and with an urban layout designed by Adam Kuncewicz and Adam Jurewicz. The estate consisted of detached houses made from wood, to provide affordable housing and keep construction costs low. The construction began in July 1933, and by 1939, the neighbourhood included 275 houses and several other buildings, such as a school, a Catholic chapel, and stores. It had a permanent population of around 1,500 people.
In 1933, Ignacy Boerner founded the Association of the Brotherly Help to the Veterans of the Fight for Independence, to develop housing for the veterans of wars for Polish independence between 1863 and 1920. It was developed next to Osiedle Łączności, in the form of the estate of Kolonia im. Aleksandry Piłsudskiej (Aleksandra Piłsudska Colony), located to between, Kleeberga Street (then Piłsudskiej Street), Boernera Street, and Warszawska Street. On 18 October 1934, sixteen house were given to the veterans and their families, in total, counting 63 people. Additionally, in 1936, a house was given to Władysław Mamert Wandalli, a hoaxer, then considered to be the oldest living veteran of the January Uprising, with claims about his age and service are now considered to be debunked. By 1937, the estate had 44 identical houses, each with a floor area of 85 m2. In 1936, the settlement was incorporated into Osiedle Łączności.
