History and businesses

This is the non-fixed (land-use defined) part of the Służewiec neighborhood, the area pictured to the right in red, with its own relatively large spur road leading to the east-west road, the European route E30 beyond its border to the south.

Since the early 1920s it has been one of the industrial and manufacturing areas of Warsaw.

During the invasion of Poland of 1939 it was mostly destroyed by aerial bombardment. After World War II many important works and factories were there. Most of the big factories have been transformed into offices.
