Halemba, District in Ruda Śląska, Poland

Located in the southern part of Silesian Uplands, Halemba is bounded by the Kłodnica River between Kochłowickie Hills and Mikołowskie Hills.

The district originated from an iron forge in 1451, taking its name from a blacksmith family who operated the facility near the current Kłodnica River bridge.

The district emblem displays a vessel of liquid iron positioned above a casting mold, representing the metallurgical traditions of the area.

The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, constructed between 1889 and 1890, stands as the main religious building in the district.

In 1718, Halemba established the second blast furnace in Upper Silesia that operated using charcoal as its primary fuel source.
