District of Wrocław in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Pawłowice (Polish pronunciation: [pavwɔˈvit͡sɛ], German: Pawelwitz, [ˈpaːvəlvɪt͡s]) is a district in Wrocław located in the north-eastern part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Psie Pole district.
The district is bordered to the north by the gminy of Wisznia Mała and Długołęka. To the south, it is bordered by the Psie Pole-Zawidawie district of Wrocław.
History
It was first mentioned in 1260, when it was part of medieval Piast-ruled Poland.
On February 1, 1937, during the Nazi era, Pawelwitz was renamed Wendelborn in order to remove traces of its Polish origin.[2] The settlement was incorporated into Wrocław on March 31, 1970.[3]
In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Pawłowice became one of the city's 48 districts.[4]
