Górce
Górce (Polish pronunciation: [ˈɡur.t͡sɛ]) is a neighbourhood and City Information System area in the Bemowo district of Warsaw, Poland. It is a high-rise residential area dominated by apartment buildings. The neighbourhood features the Bemowo station of the M2 line of the Warsaw Metro rapid transit underground system.
Górce was founded prior to the 15th century, as a small farming community. It suffered significant damage from the Swedish army during the Second Northern War, recovering in the 17th century, and further developing in the 18th century. Between the 1920s and 1940s, the village became a suburb of Warsaw, with the development of single-family detached homes, and was incorporated into the city in 1951. In the 1980s, the housing estates of apartment buildings began being developed in the area.
Górce, then a small farming community, was founded prior to the 15th century, and was at one point owned by a knight. By 1433, it was a property of Piotr Pielgrzym, the advocate of Old Warsaw, and was later inherited by his son, Andrzej Pielgrzymowic, in 1441, who also titled himself as Górczewski. After that, the village changed owners many times, among whom were Mikołaj Kazuba, the Zdziarski family, treasurer of Sochaczew Szymanowski, captain of the Crown Army Malinowski, and voivode of Smolensk Piotr Paweł Sapieha. By the 16th century, it was inhabited by the petty nobility. The village belonged to the Catholic parish in Stare Babice.
In 1587, Jan Zamoyski, the supporter of Sigismund III Vasa in the War of the Polish Succession, fortified with his fources at the fields near Górce, during the opening stages of the conflict.
Górce suffered significant damage from the Swedish army during the Second Northern War, and recovered in the 17th century. It developed further in the 18th century, partially thanks to the proceedings of the election seym, during which nobility members elected monarchs of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, held at the nearby fields of Młynów, Koło, and Powązki. Górce provided the attendees and the staff with housing and food. At that time, the village also included the residence of a politician and military officer Adam Poniński, and the road to the settlement was regulated from his initiative around 1775.
In 1827, Górce had a population of 282 people in 38 households. In 1867, its lands were split and incorporated into the municipalities of Młociny and Powązki. They were organised into two agricultural estates, designated as A and B. The first was state-owned with an area of 516 New Polish morgen (288.86 ha), and the latter had an area of 500 New Polish morgen (279.9 ha). In 1876, a plot of land in the village, near the current Górczewska Street, was bought by Jan Krystian Ulrich, who then founded there a plantation complex, with plant nurseries, greenhouses and a show garden, managed by his family company Zakłady Ogrodnicze C. Ulrich. Currently, it is located within the boundaries of the nearby neighbourhood of Koło. The area became known after him as Ulrychów Several brickworks also developed in the area, with the largest being Bogumił Schneider's factory in the nearby Jelonki. They sourced clay locally, leaving behind pits, which over time flooded, forming numerous ponds. Most of them were filled in in the 1940s, during the development of new housing in the area, with two remaining to this day within Górce being Jeziorzec and Green Pond.
In the 1920s, Górce became a suburb of Warsaw, with its lands being sold for the development of a low-rise neighbourhood with single-family detached homes. In 1933, the village had 80 households, concentrated in the area of the current Górczewska, Siodlarska, Żeńców, Marynin, and Gromadzka Streets.
Górce survived the Second World War without major damage. During the conflict, and in its aftermath, the village rapidly developed with new housing, with people moving three after having their homes destroyed in Warsaw. Most of the new buildings were provisional structures built from wood or rubble recovered from destruction in the city. In 1950, a tram line was opened, forming a connection between Boernerowo with Koło and Ulrychów, partially crossing the current boundaries of Górce, via Dywizjonu 303 Street.
