Toponomy

The name Mokotów most likely comes from the name of its former owner Mokot or Mokoto, which with addition of the suffix -ów, translates to Mokot's place. A hypothesis proposes the person's name originates from a Middle High German word mocke, meaning "clumsy" and "uneducated". Originally used for the village, now in the neighbourhood of Old Mokotów, it became a name of the city district of Mokotów. It is traditionally divided into two areas, Upper Mokotów in the west, and Lower Mokotów in the east, divided by the peaks of the Warsaw Escaprment.[3][4]

History

Prehistory

A small flint axe dating to around 500 BCE, was discovered near Idzikowskiego Street in the area of the modern neighbourhood of Czerniaków.[5]

Middle Ages

In the 13th century, the villages of Czerniaków and Czernów, originally known as Czerniakowo and Czarnowo respectively, were founded near Vistula river.[5][6] In the 15th century, Czerniaków became the property of Hincza Cedlic, a chamberlain of Warsaw in service of duke Janusz I.[5][6] In 1412, the village of Sielce was recorded in documents in which duke Janusz I the Old granted its ownership to the St. John Archcathedral in Warsaw.[7] It remained in its possession until it was confiscated by the Prussian government, following the Third Partition of Poland in 1795. Sielce was a small farming community, probably originating as a part of the village of Czerniaków.[6][8][9] By 1456, the village of Szopy was also recorded in the area to the west of the Warsaw Escarpment near the road connecting Warsaw with Puławy, now forming Puławska Street.[10][11][12]

Early modern period

In the 16th century, the village of Siekierki, originally known as Kępa Bełt, was first recorded in the documents.[5][6] In the 17th century, Czerniaków was acquired by Andrzej Górski, the voivode of Mazovia. After his death in 1626, the village was inherited by his descendants, and later by the King of Poland.[5][6]

Since the first half of the 17th century, the village of Szopy was owned by the Roman Catholic order of Discalced Carmelites. In 1795, as the area became part of the Kingdom of Prussia, the village was nationalised, and in the late 18th century, the government begun placing German settlers in the village, which became known as Szopy Niemieckie (lit. 'German Szopy'). The Polish population settled an area to the east of Warsaw Escarpment, naming their settlement as Szopy Polskie (lit. 'Polish Shopy').[10] To the north of Szopy Polskie, was also founded Szopy Francuskie (lit. 'French Szopy'), settled by a French population.[11][13] A few remaining historical buildings of Szopy Polskie survive in the area of Bocheńska and Jaśminowa Streets.[10][14]

In 1680, nobleperson and politician Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski built his palace residence near the current Piaseczyńska Street, with a garden complex. It included the Arcadia and Rabbit House ponds.[15][16] In 1720, the area was bought by king Augustus III of Poland, monarch of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, to use its natural water springs, to feed the water features of the Royal Baths park complex.[15] In 1683, Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski also acquired Czerniaków and Siekierki, incorporating them into his agricultural landed estate.[17][18] He also founded the construction of a hospital and the St. Anthony of Padua Church in Czerniaków. The later belonged to the Roman Catholic denomination, and was cojoined with a monastery of Bernardines, both being opened in 1693. The monastery was closed in 1864, and reactivated in 1945.[6][19] An area near Siekierki was leased in the 18th century as a hunting ground to king Augustus II the Strong.[17][18]

From 31 July to 19 August 1732, the exercises and exhibition of the military of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was held at the field of Czerniaków.[20][21]

In 1770, the fortification lines known as the Lubomirski Ramparts, was developed around Warsaw, crossing land to the north of Mokotów. By the beginning of the 18th century, a set of tollhouses was established at the entrance alongside Belwederska Street (then Belweder Road), known as the Belweder Tollhouses. Between 1818 and 1823, they were replaced with two new neoclassical pavilions.[22][23]

In 1774, the Szuster Palace, together with a garden complex, were built to the northwest of Sielce, as a residence of princess Elżbieta Izabela Lubomirska.[24][25] In 1820, the estate became property of nobleperson Anna Tyszkiewicz, and in 1845, it was bought by Franciszek Szuster, who then opened a popular holiday village in the area, named the Promenade (Polish: Promenada), with the gardens becoming its recreational green area.[24][26] The park also included the Promenade Ponds, two artificial lakes formed from flooded clay pits.[27] At the end of the 19th century, the Promenade amusement park was opened, with a luxury restaurant, circus, and open-air theatre among other attractions. It operated until the outbreak of the First World War, and again from its end until the beginning of the Second World War.[28][29]

In 1775, the village of Sielce was leased to king Stanisław August Poniatowski, who founded there an English landscape garden centred around the Sielce Lake. In the second half of the 18th century the Sielce Manor House, a neoclassical two-storey palace, was built in the garden. Around 1860, a silkworm farm was established in the area.[30][31]

19th century

At the beginning of the 19th century, the village of Potok was founded alongside a road now forming Potoki Street, near the Warsaw Escarpment to the south of Szopy Polskie.[32] By the 19th century, the village of Augustówka was also present in the area near the Vistula river, while the village of Siekierki was divided into two settlements, Siekierki Wielkie and Siekierki Małe (Polish for Greater Siekierki and Lesser Siekierki).[33][34]

In 1865, the Czerniaków Harbour was opened on an oxbow lake of Vistula river, and until 1965, it housed a shipyard.[35][36]

In 1866, a portion of the lands of Sielce, which belonged to the estate of the Duchy of Łowicz, was partitioned and sold, leading to the formations of four new hamlets founded alongside Wilanów Road (now Jana III Sobieskiego Street). They were Jadzin, Marcelin, Stoczek, and Przylipie.[37][38] In the second half of the 19th century, a portion of Sielce belonged to Konstantin Pavlovich, the commander-in-chief of the Army of Congress Poland, and a member of the House of Romanov. Following his and his wife's deaths in 1831, the possession was left in their last will to his brother, Nicholas I, the Emperor of Russia and King of Poland. As such, it became a property of the Russian government, and remained in its possession until the independence of Poland in 1918.[7]

On 13 January 1867, the area of Lower Mokotów was divided between municipalities of Mokotów to the west and Wilanów to the east, which were established as part of the administrative reform in the Kingdom of Poland.[33][39] The municipality of Mokotów included the villages of Czerniaków, Siekierki Małe, Siekierki Wielkie, Sielce, Szopy Niemieckie, and Szopy Polskie, while the municipality of Wilanów included Augustówka.[33] In 1909, villages of Czerniaków, Szopy Polskie, Szopy Niemieckie, Siekierki Małe, and Siekierki Wielkie were transferred to the municipality of Wilanów.[6][33][40]

Throughout the 1880s, three forts were built across Lower Mokotów by the Russian Imperial Army as part of the series of fortifications surrounding the city, known as the Warsaw Fortress. This included the Fort IX to the south of Czerniaków, the Fort X to the north of Augustówka, and the Fort Che to the east of Szopy. They were decommissioned in 1909, and the first two were partially demolished in 1913.[41]

On 16 May 1891, a line of the narrow-gauge railroad operated by the Wilanów Railway, connecting the area with Old Mokotów and Warsaw, with station in Marcelin, and ending at Berdandine Square in Czerniaków. It was originally operated with the horsecars, which were with steam locomotives in 1894. In 1914, the tracks briefly crossed Sielce, being closed and rerouted shortly after, due to low demand and protests from the local residents.[42] In 1921, Sielce was connected to the municipal transit system via a bus line, which was replaced with a tram line on Czerniakowska Street a year later. The line ended at the Bernardine Square in Czerniaków. In 1935, it was extended to the south, alongside Powsińska Street, connecting the line to Wilanów.[43][44] The line was closed down in 1957.[45]

Early 20th century

In 1907, the Czerniaków Cemetery was founded at 44 and 46 Powsińska Street, belonging to the Roman Catholic denomination.[46]

On 8 April 1916, the majority of the villages of Lower Mokotów were incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[33] Potok was incorporated into the city on 27 September 1938, while Augustówka was incorporated on 15 May 1951.[32][47][48]

In 1919, a series of single-family houses were constructed alongside Gorczerwska Street, stretching between Czerniaków Lake and Posińska Street. In the early 1920s, in the area of Czerniaków Lake was also developed a neighbourhood of villas, known as the Garden City of Czerniaków (Polish: Miasto-Ogród Czerniaków). It was designed following the principles of the garden city movement, and later the houses inspired by the 18th- and 19th-century Polish manor houses were developed in the area.[49] Between 1924 and 1928, the neighbourhood of Sadyba was developed around the Fort IX, and with its outer boundary marked by Okrężna Street. It consisted of detached and semi-detached single-family houses. It was developed by the Sadyba Officer Construction and Housing Association (Polish: Oficerska Spółdzielnia Budowlano-Mieszkaniową „Sadyba”), founded in 1923 by officers of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, with major Władysław Kuntz and general Józef Zając at its helm. First residents moved in 1926, which included families of 28 organisation founders, and numerous officers of the Polish Armed Forces, including veterans of the First World War and the Polish–Soviet War. In 1933, the Association of the Friends of Garden City of Czerniaków was founded, being granted the ownership of the Fort IX by the city.[50] In 1936, the remains of the fortifications on the eastern side of Powsińska Street were demolished, with the area being developed into a park, later named Szczubełek Park in 1993.[50][51] During the interwar period, the area around Belwederska Street in Sielce also began to develop into a modern suburb.[52] In 2013, a small garden square at the corner of Powsińska and Okrężna Street near the fort was also named the Armenian Square, to celebrate Armenian minority in Poland.[53] A khachkar, a traditional Armenian memorial stone sculpture bearing a cross, was placed at in the garden. Eighteen oak trees were also planted there, being dedicated in memorial to officers of the Polish Armed Forces from Sadyba, which were murdered in the Katyn massacre.[54]

During the interwar period, two Roman Catholic churches were developed in Sielce. They were the St. Joseph the Betrothed Church built at 137 Czerniakowska Street in 1926, and the St. Casimir Church built at 21A Chełmska Street in 1934.[55][56][57]

In 1926, a levee along the left bank of the Vistula was completed, mitigating the previously threatening flood hazard and facilitating further development.[18] In the 1930s, artificial water canals were built to irrigate farmlands in Czerniaków and Siekierki by diverting the water to the Vistula river.[58][59] Prior to 1939, Czerniaków was an impoverished area. At the time, the neighbourhood, together with Powiśle was referred locally as the "Lowland" (Polish: Dół), due to its lower elevation when compared to the Downtown.[60]

During the interwar period the Fort Che housed an ammunition factory. In the 1930s, the surrounding area was parceled and sold for the construction of single-family housing, expanding the nearby neighbourhood of Królikarnia.[61][62]

Second World War

In September 1939, during the siege of Warsaw in the Second World War, the fortifications in the area were used as defensive position by the Polish Land Forces. The Fort Che was captured by the German Army on 25 September 1939, while the Fort IX, defended by the 2nd Battalion of the 360th Infantry Regiment and other volunteers, was captured the next day, following heavy fighting.[61][63]

During the Warsaw Uprising, the Fort IX was abandoned by German soldiers on 7 August 1944, and from 19 August, the fort, together with the nearby neighbourhoods of Sadyba and the Garden City of Czerniaków, were occupied by the soldiers of the Oaza Battalion of the Home Army, which moved to the area from the Chojnów Woods. The German forces, led by major general Günther Rohr begun attacking the area on 29 August 1944. Sadyba was also heavily bombarded by the German Air Force. On 1 September, the fort was attacked by German forces greatly outnumbering Polish defenders. On that day, a bomb was dropped from a plane onto the fort, killing leader of Oaza Battalion, Czesław Szczubełek, and 24 others members. The neighbourhood was captured the next day. Around 200 Polish soldiers died in fighting, with only a few managing to retreat.[64][65] Afterwards, the German officers executed Polish prisoners-of-war captured in Sadyba, and conducted series of executions of civilians in the area, including men, women, and children.[65][66] This included the killing of around 80 residents of houses on Podhalańska, Klarysewska, Chochołowska Streets.[67] The German officers also conducted mass executions on residents of Siekierki, and burned down most of its buildings.[18] The Fort Che was also used as defensive position by the Home Army soldiers, being captured by the Germany Armed Forces on 15 September 1944.[68]

Between 17 and 19 September 1944, units of the First Polish Army conducted the reconnaissance and diversion activities in the area of Siekierki, crossing from the other side of the Vistula river.[69] In 1944, the ruins of Fort X in Augustówka were used by the German soldiers during the defense from the Red Army of the Soviet Union. After the war, the area was used as a military shooting range.[61]

Between 1943 and 1949, local girl Władysława Papis claimed to have experienced a private revelation in Siekierki, in form of repeated apparitions of Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and other Christian religious symbols, giving rise to a local Marian worship.[18][70] In 1946, a small chapel was built at 3 Gwintowa Street, in place of the supposed revelation. In 1994, the Sanctuary of Our Lady the Teacher of the Yough was opened next to it, managed by the Piarist order.[71]

It was an artificial hill made from the rubble of buildings from across the city, which were destroyed during the Second World War.[72][73] It continued to be used as a landfill until the 1960s. In 2004, it was cleaned up, and turned into a scenic viewpoint. A sculpture was placed on its top, depicting the Anchor, the symbol of the Polish Underground State during the Second World War, meant to commemorate the Warsaw Uprising. An urban park, named the Operation Tempest Park, was developed in the area around the mound.[74][75]
