Nikiszowiec, Historical workers quarter in Katowice, Poland.
The residential complex features nine interconnected blocks with red brick facades, characteristic bay windows, and decorative arcades connecting different sections.
The settlement was constructed between 1908 and 1918 by architects Emil and Georg Zillmann to house workers of the Giesche coal mine.
The Saint Anne Neo-Baroque church, completed in 1927, contains detailed stained glass windows and stands as the central monument of the neighborhood.
The district maintains numerous original facilities including shops, administrative buildings, and a preserved photo studio operating since 1919.
Each residential block comprises 165 apartments arranged around internal courtyards, following a design that mirrors the underground mine structure.
