History

The former village of Dębniki developed thanks to the construction of a bridge over the Vistula River in 1888. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, numerous factories and enterprises were established here, and the main square Rynek Dębnicki was formed where the most important streets of the village converged. In 1910 Dębniki was incorporated into Krakow. Between 1935 and 1938, a Workers' Housing Estate was built along what is now Praska Street. During the German occupation during World War II, there were plans to demolish the buildings of Dębniki and build an ideal Nazi city in its place, but these plans were not realised. Further development of the district was brought about by the construction of the Grunwald Bridge and the Podwale Housing Estate after the Second World War.
