Murcki

Murcki is a residential district located in the southern portion of Katowice with housing and everyday services for residents. The area includes green spaces, schools, and a major hospital that serves the medical needs of the community.

The settlement was originally known by its German name Emanuelssegen and grew as a residential area during the early 20th century. It was later incorporated into expanding Katowice and became an important part of the city's southern development.

The neighborhood carries strong Silesian roots visible in how streets are laid out and how residents shape their community spaces. Families have deep connections to this place, and local traditions influence everyday life throughout the district.

Weekdays are generally less crowded, making it easier to walk around and explore the neighborhood. Most facilities and services are accessible by foot or public transportation, so you can get around without difficulty.

The hospital in the district operates a specialized Cardiac Rehabilitation Department that has been treating patients with heart disease prevention programs for many years. This medical focus has made the area an important care center for the wider region.
