Fabryczna

Fabryczna is a former borough of Wrocław located in the western part of the city. Before the changes in 1991, it was the largest district of Wrocław. On 21 March 1991, the newly created City Office of Wrocław assumed many of the functions previously carried out within the borough. The name, though, remained in use, mainly for statistical and administrative purposes. Fabryczna is a Polish adjective derived from the noun fabryka ('factory'), and therefore the name roughly translates as 'industrial.' It is located in the western part of the city, on the left (south) side of the Oder river.
