Warszauera Street

Warszauera 'Street in Kraków' is a street in Kraków, in District I Old Town, in Kazimierz. It connects Estery Street and Nowy Square with Jakuba Street and the area of the Remah Cemetery.

History

Until the 19th century, a hospital and an old people's home were located on this street. The name Warszauera Street was established in 1908, derived from the surname of Jonathan Warschauer, a physician and social activist of Jewish origin associated with Kraków. Previously, it was called ''Ubogich Street.''
