Ruda, Historic district in Ruda Śląska, Poland
The district spans 11.9 square kilometers in the northwestern section of Ruda Śląska, with a population density of 1,900 residents per square kilometer.
The Carlshütte zinc smelter operated in Ruda from 1816 to 1908, establishing itself as the largest facility of its kind in Europe during that period.
Following the Upper Silesia plebiscite after World War I, the residents of Ruda demonstrated their Polish identity by voting to join Poland rather than Germany.
The district maintains strong transportation connections to neighboring areas through the Katowice-Gliwice railway line and access to Highway A4.
The administrative boundaries of Ruda expanded significantly in 1951 when the districts of Godula, Orzegów, and Chebzie were incorporated into its territory.
