Chomiczówka
Chomiczówka (Polish: [xɔ.mit͡ʂˈuf.ka]) is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, located within the district of Bielany.
Chomiczówka is named after Bolesław and Józef Chomicz, brothers and businesspeople, who in 1909 bought a portion of the neighbourhood, and established there a branch of their agricultural company, named Bracia Chomicz (lit. Chomicz Brothers). In 1920, they established here a suburban villa neighbourhood, originally named Chomiczów In 1933, it was renamed to Przylesie, and in the late 1930s, it gradually became known as Chomiczówka while its former name fell out of use.
By 14th century, in the northern portion of modern Chomiczówka existed village of Wawrzyszew. The oldest known records of it comes from 1367. In 1379, Janusz I the Old, the Duke of Warsaw, has granted all profits from five nearby villages, including Wawrzyszew, to the city of Old Warsaw, for the duration of eight years. It was done as one of a few policies, to help it financially offset the costs of building the city walls.
In the 16th century, Baltazar Smosarski, physician of the Polish royal court, has bought the village of Wawrzyszew. There he founded the construction of the Catholic Church of St. Mary Magdalene, which lasted between 1543 and 1548. It is located at the current 64 Wólczyńska Street, within present boundaries of City Information System area of Wawrzyszew.
On 26 August 1794, Wawrzyszew was captured and burned down by Prussian forces during the Siege of Warsaw in the Kościuszko Uprising.
In the 19th century, next to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene was opened the Wawrzyszew Cemetery. The oldest known grave there comes from 1830. Currently it is located within the City Information System area of Wawrzyszew.
In 1868, the area of four settlements, including Wawrzyszew, was given by Alexander II, the Emperor of Russia, to Alexandr Vladimirovich Patkulov, a general in the Russian Imperial Army, as an award for his service.
In the 1880s, the Fort II had been built to the southeast of Wawrzyszew, as part of the series of fortifications of the Warsaw Fortress, built around Warsaw by the Imperial Russian Army. In 1909, it was decided to decommission and demolish the fortifications of the Warsaw Fortress, due to the high maintenance costs. As such, Fort II was decommissioned and partially demolished.
