Rauschwalde, Residential district in Görlitz, Germany
Rauschwalde is a residential district of Görlitz that displays varied architectural styles, from late 19th-century structures to 1960s apartment blocks. The area sits at roughly 200 meters elevation and shows a blend of different building periods.
The area was first mentioned in records as Rushenwalde in 1310 and existed as a separate village. It was incorporated into the city of Görlitz in 1925 and has remained part of it since then.
Two churches shape community life here: the Protestant Christuskirche built in 1938 and the Catholic Hedwig Church, reconstructed in 1997. Both serve as gathering places where residents practice their faith and connect with neighbors.
The district connects to central Görlitz through several bus lines, which took over after the tram system stopped operating in 1986. Public transport makes it easy to reach other parts of the city from here.
A major housing estate with roughly 1500 apartments took shape between 1975 and 1977 near Karl-Eichler-Straße, becoming the city's second-largest residential complex. This large-scale project continues to define the district's character today.
